Diamond 2003 12 Year Old Transcontinental Rum Line #5
Lot number: 081-1335
Winning bid: £105
The Transcontinental Rum Line is a series from La Maison Du Whisky. Comprised of rums from different distilleries, that have been partially matured in their tropical homes before being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean for further maturation in Europe. While this may sound convoluted, it's actually very cost effective as it prevents the greedy tropical angels from getting quite such a monstrous share of the precious spirit.
Line #5
After ageing for two years in Guyana, close to the Equator, these two casks set sail to Europe for more than 10 years of extra maturation. After a total of over 12 years of transcontinental maturation this rum has been slightly reduced to 57.18% to respect the Navy Rum tradition.
Distilled: 2003
Bottled: 2016
57% ABV / 70cl
