Holmes Cay Reunion Island Rum Traditionnel
Product Type: Rum
Size: 750mL
Proof: 46% Alc/Vol
Description: Holmes Cay Réunion Island Rum Traditionnel is a revival of an almost-lost French rum style. Distilled at the historic Distillerie de Savanna on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean, this spirit is crafted from molasses sourced from the island’s own sugarcane. It spends three years aging in ex-cognac French oak casks under warm tropical conditions, allowing the rum to develop layers of complexity and elegance. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in New York by Holmes Cay, it presents a bold yet refined character that bridges heritage with modern finesse. Expect enticing aromas of rich cola, vanilla, citrus zest, and warm baking spice, followed by a palate of caramel, toasted oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried fruits, and a subtle coffee note. The finish lingers with vanilla, spice, and tropical fruit over a crisp oak dryness. Perfect for sipping neat or in classic tiki cocktails, this rum is also a wonderful companion to grilled pineapple, jerk chicken, and coconut shrimp.
