Distillery: Compagnie Des Indes

The eighth edition of Boulet de Canon from French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes. You might not even need a translation tool to work out what the name means, well you definitely don’t because we’ll tell you it means cannonball. As this name evokes, these releases celebrate smokiness, and this expression sees a selection of rums from Nicaragua and Panama blended and finished for 12 months in peated Islay whisky casks! An ace choice if you’re a rum fan hosting a peat fan for drinks, or vice versa.

Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon No.8 | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose immediately reveals a very smoky, ashy character. It is of course a peat smoke, earthy and vegetal.

Palate: The palate is soft, but obviously very marked by the peat smoke. The smoky concept is pushed to the limit here.

Finish: The finish is long and rather greedy, as the peat eventually acquires a slightly candied quality.

Distillery Information

Compagnie des Indes rums are produced with great care. The idea was brought to life in memory of the former East India Company from the seventeenth and eighteenth century that selected rare commodities from distant continents and imported them to their countries. Like them, we select only the best quality rums from all over the world and import these to Europe. Whether single casks or carefully selected blends we always focus on bringing out the character and qualities of each local origin.
