Rhum Bologne XO Vieux Supérieur 42% 70cl

This exceptional Bologne XO Vieux Supérieur is a decadent journey into the heart of Guadeloupe. Far more than a traditional aged agricole rum, it is a striking fusion of volcanic intensity, decades of meticulous maturation, and a world-class blending philosophy. Crafted from rums aged for a minimum of six years—with precious components maturing for up to ten years or more—this release is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!" to redefine the absolute peak of aged elegance. Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this Extra Old masterpiece transforms a classic volcanic spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick, generous, and sophisticated as a fine gourmet pastry.

A Masterclass in Refinement Every bottle of Bologne XO embodies the art of patient tropical aging and master-level blending. The distinguished character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process at the foot of the Soufrière volcano:

  • The XO Heritage Blend: A highly curated selection of mature estate rums, aged between 6 and over 10 years in premium oak casks under intense Caribbean climate conditions.

  • Volcanic Sugar Cane: Crafted from estate-grown cane nourished by mineral-rich volcanic soil, establishing a sturdy, naturally sweet backbone of rich complexity.

  • Copper Column Distillation: Distilled using traditional copper column stills, ensuring the preservation of the distillery's iconic, oily texture and aromatic density.

  • Award-Winning Craftsmanship: A globally recognized expression that has captured numerous prestigious industry awards for its flawless execution and smoothness.

Tasting Experience Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like a grand, festive celebration in a glass.

  • Nose: For the aroma lovers! You are immediately immersed in a complex, sophisticated bath of candied orange, luscious honey, and warm cocoa—thick, deep, and flowing. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: vibrant citrus fruits and fresh sugarcane, beautifully layered with comforting baking cinnamon and elegant, subtle woody notes.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "multifaceted" understates the reality; the rum literally melts on the palate with a rich explosion of candied fruits and creamy vanilla. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering sophisticated layers of dried fruits, exotic saffron, and warming ginger, all elevated by a subtle, unexpected salty undertone that creates spectacular depth.

  • Finish: Long, warm, and incredibly velvety. The texture clings beautifully to the palate, leaving a refined, lasting impression of dark licorice, premium leather, and a soft, comforting roundness that invites you back for another sip.
