Reunion Island, where this rum originates, is known for producing rums with a distinctive “Grand Arôme” profile. These rums undergo fermentation with wild yeast and are distilled in pot stills, which allows for the retention of more congeners (aromatic compounds) compared to column stills.
Holmes Cay Single Origin Reunion Grand Arôme has robust and complex flavors, with notes of tropical fruits, spice, and a characteristic funkiness that is typical of high-ester rums. These rums are often sought after by rum enthusiasts and bartenders for their depth and intensity.
