Bologne is the only distillery in Guadeloupe that continues to cultivate black cane. This variety, now forgotten by distillers because of its low yield, is now only cultivated by Bologna for its exceptional aromatic potential: it expresses a "concentrate" of cane, an ultra aromatic essence, which is now used in the blends of all Bologna rums.
We have chosen to make a few bottles of a limited series: "Black Cane", a true quintessence of Bologna.
|TASTING NOTES|
Colour
Pure brilliance, crystal clear. Very present viscosity due to the richness of the highly aromatic elements.
Nose
Smooth, with great aromatic complexity, very harmonious. Particularly rich. The first nose is empyreumatic and exotic (cane, mango, maracudja). It is then supported by the acidity of citrus fruits (lime, orange) then evolves towards white flowers. Fruity notes: mango, lychee, passion fruit, fresh cane. Delicate floral notes: lily, hawthorn, acacia, thousand-flower honey. Discreet spicy notes: green pepper, mint and liquorice. Marine: a slight touch of iodine.
Palate
Soft, balanced. The fresh cane is extraordinarily transcribed, becoming its very essence. The mid-palate is concentrated, lush, exuberant, and full of greedy fruit: banana, pineapple, mango, pear, the citrus fruits remain very present. The finish is long and tenderly spicy (ginger) and never ceases to surprise with its authenticity and depth. Exceptional persistence. The retro-olfaction is floral, impressive in its finesse and length.

The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados.Aging: Six years minimum. In toasted 400 L oak barrels, 25% of which are new.
