Depaz Très Vieux Rhum Agricole VSOP Réserve Spéciale is a Martinique rhum agricole made from fresh sugarcane juice at the Depaz Distillery. It is aged for at least seven years in small oak casks and bottled at 45% ABV. Prices range around $62.
The taste in the mouth on the other hand elevated the drink quite a bit, and made me check my glass to see if I had confused my samples. It was stronger and more assertive, very nicely warm without the spiciness of the nose…a bit more body you might say, entering quite cleanly and clearly.
