Bougainville VSOP Oxenham Craft Distillery Ex-Sherry Cask 4Y Old With Box 40% 70cl

This exceptional Bougainville VSOP is a decadent journey into the heart of Mauritius. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Distilled from 100% molasses and aged for more than four long years, this elegant VSOP expression is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!"

Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this sherry cask masterpiece transforms a classic molasses spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick and generous as a chocolate fondant.

A Masterclass in Refinement

Every bottle of the Bougainville VSOP embodies the art of patient aging and innovative finishing. The character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process:

• Initial Aging: More than 4 years of tropical maturation in carefully selected vintage sherry oak casks, providing a sturdy backbone of deep structure, warmth, and complexity.

• Double Finish: A sophisticated maturation where the natural sweetness of the rum and the rich sherry wood intertwine seamlessly into a beautifully rounded profile.

• Artisanal Reduction: Slowly brought down to an approachable 40% ABV, preserving every ounce of its oily texture and aromatic density while ensuring a seductive and harmonious delivery.

Tasting Experience

Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like Christmas in a glass.

• Nose: For the caramel and fruit lovers! You are immediately immersed in a bath of dried fruit, toasted nuts, and smooth caramel—thick, greasy, and flowing. It evokes the scent of a buttery chocolate fondant fresh from the oven. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: subtle sherry sweetness and gentle oak spice. This is followed by layers of gingerbread, cinnamon, and a comforting touch of classic molasses richness.

• Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "fondant" was no exaggeration; the rum literally melts on the palate with generous Demerara sugar, rich coffee, and a near-sorbet-like freshness of dried fruits. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering notes of orangettes, tobacco nuances, oven-warm gingerbread, and a creamy tiramisu beautifully integrated with soft wood influence.

• Finish: Long, refined, and incredibly gourmand. The texture clings to the palate, leaving delicate hints of candied citrus fruits, lingering caramel, and soft oak tones that invite you back for another sip just for the sheer pleasure of it.
