Habitation Velier Papa Rouyo 2022 1 Year Rum is part of our Rum collection. It comes from Habitation Velier Rum and is crafted in Guadeloupe.
This remarkable Guadeloupean rum captures the essence of just 4 hectares of carefully selected Canne Matos and Canne Red sugarcane varieties, aged one year in ex-Cognac and French oak barrels and bottled at a punchy 56.7% ABV.
Papa Rouyo 2022 is a micro-distillery rum that represents just 4 hectares of terroir in Guadeloupe, crafted from two distinct sugarcane varieties (Canne Matos and Canne Red) and bottled at full strength after only one year of tropical aging that already claimed over 8% to the angels delivering an astonishingly high ester content of 101.6 gr/hLPA that punches well above its age with intensely floral honeysuckle and candied ginger notes that seem impossible for such a young spirit.
Papa Rouyo 2022 shines brightest when sipped neat or with just a splash of water.
Nose: Intensely floral with honeysuckle dominating the first impression. As it opens, candied ginger and nutmeg bring warmth and spice.
Palate: Surprisingly creamy vanilla and yogurt-like notes greet the palate, creating a softer entry than the nose suggests.
Finish: Long and smooth with a distinctive peach-skin texture. Candied ginger returns from the nose alongside buttery toffee notes.
Papa Rouyo 2022 showcases the terroir of a single 4-hectare plot in Guadeloupe, made from pure juice of Canne Matos and Canne Red sugarcane varieties, then pot-distilled and aged for just one year in a blend of ex-Cognac and ex-new French oak barrels—losing over 8% to the angels' share resulting in an intensely aromatic rum bottled at full proof with a notably high ester content of 101.6 gr/hLPA.
