Bologne La Coulisse

Review #1109; Rum #435

This is a rum that was produced at the Bologne distillery on Guadeloupe. Distilled from fresh pressed sugar cane juice, this juice was distilled on a column still and bottled at high proof with no additives. The cane grown for this rum was black cane variety and only 3000 bottles were produced in 2019.

Bottler:Bologne

Region: Guadeloupe

ABV: 60%

Nose:  Lemongrass, slight apple, vanilla, minerality

Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, Lemongrass, Vanilla, Apple, Minerality, allspice

Finish: :Medium length finish, lemongrass, apple, minerality, allspice

Conclusion: A very good rum. It hits those classic notes I want in a Guadeloupe agricole. Heavy on the lemon, minerality, apple and pear. Very good neat and Im sure it is killer in a ti’punch.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
