The Story

Experience the exceptional Chamarel 2012 Sauternes Cask Aged Rum from the Highveld Aging Series, where premium rum undergoes a unique dual-aging process. Initially matured for over six years in French Oak casks to create the signature XO blend, this expression receives an additional three and a half years of finishing in second-fill Sauternes wine casks, resulting in a complex spirit that marries spicy rum character with decadent, fruity dessert wine notes. With tropical aging exceeding eight years and Highveld aging for ten months, this limited release offers deep marigold color and layered aromas of stone fruits, marmalade, and spice, leading to a powerful, mouth-coating palate with clove, nutmeg, and dried fruit flavors that linger in a long, satisfying finish.
