Ferroni 2013 Brut de Fut Ile Maurice 7-Year

Distilleries: La Bourdonnais - Chamarel - Gray's. A blend of 3 distilleries, largely dominated by pure cane juice rum. Fully aged in the Maison Ferroni cellars.
4 years in variegated ex-cognac French oak barrels and new American oak barrels, followed by 2 years in extreme dry cellars in ex-rye/ex-Jamaican rum barrels.
9: The first nose is relatively dry, with peaches and is nicely buttery, on cane straw, on dry bagasse, with a touch of hot metal. Then one guesses a very concentrated quince paste, enamelled with liquorice and white flowers. The flowers and their vegetation take on a greater dimension, we get an image of fatty and exotic plants which give off aromas full of humus.
Aeration reveals some touches of concentrated prune and quince paste, with a little drop of motor oil dropped into the mix. The latter contributes to a somewhat "industrial" atmosphere, with hot metal, latex, over which the fiery, fruity eaux-de-vie flow.
9 Palate :The mouth is very serious and at the same time very gourmand, typical agricole, fruity, impresses with its tasty notes, as milk chocolate, salted caramel, but also and above all with its unique profile. It seems to us to be in front of an old cane, with a mature, candied juice, a deep fibre, a patinated bark. The sugar cane flirts with orgeat, almond, and even has a mastic side that gives it a welcome thickness.You cannot escape/avoid the taste of cremebrulle.
8:On the finish, medium long, fruity scarves escape and eventually join some slightly metallic fruit pastes.
Another great Ferroni! Great complexity, a real gem.
