Rum Journal: LVMH’s Latest Caribbean Rum 

It’s been one of the crucial profitable rum releases of the final decade: Eminente, the Cuban model that has immediately discovered itself within the pantheon of one of the best rums on the worldwide market. 

Whereas the premium aged rum has launched a number of spin-offs (together with an excellent 10-year Gran Reserva), it’s the 7-year that’s the standard-bearer for the model — an beautiful, balanced, quintessential expression of Cuban rum making, one which has received Double Gold a number of occasions on the Caribbean Rum Awards. 

However now Eminente has a brand new rum: it’s referred to as Carta de Oro, and it’s meant to fit in between the corporate’s three-year-old amber rum and the 7. 

We have been fortunate sufficient to strive some lately, and the result’s one other winner for Eminente and mum or dad firm LVMH (you will have heard of it). 

The amber-colored spirit is a five-year expression, with a nostril of pineapple, white pepper and stone fruit. 

The flavour profile is marked by extra stone fruit, toffee, brown sugar and creme brûlée, with a end marked by nutmeg, cinnamon and a slight fringe of cayenne pepper and caramel. 

It’s a beautiful rum, and exceptionally drinkable. It’s one other signal of the rising energy of Eminente, and of simply how good Cuba’s rums proceed to be.
