Courcelles 1972 is a 47-year-old Rhum Vieux from Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe, drawn from the estate’s last historic distillation and bottled in February 2019 at 42% volume. It is an old molasses rum rather than an agricole, which gives the bottle a rare place in Guadeloupe’s rum history.
AGEING: the spirit first matured in oak casks, then moved into large oak foudre to slow evaporation while allowing oxidation to continue. That long, careful holding explains the mature structure without needing a separate finish or cask-seasoning story.
SUGGESTIONS: serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, with time in the glass before tasting. Keep it out of cocktails; this is a historical bottle for slow service, suited to a quiet after-dinner pour or a mild Dominican cigar.
