Field Notes

On the southern coast, Old Bacolet is only narrowly protected by a belt of mangrove between the farm and the sea and very much exposed to the force of the Atlantic trade winds, Old Bacolet Was one of the first areas to be cultivated by the French. A flat flood plain between two small rivers, these alluvial soils – Plains Clay Loam & Woburn Clay – & a high water table produce lush cane. for this rum we harvested the quick-growing variety we call lodger from Theo, which stands on the terroir known as Silk Cotton Tree

The Sound of Old Bacolet

 

Old Bacolet at sunset. Farmers from the surrounding area are on the farm collecting vines and bagasse from the sides of the fields, and loading it into their truck. Evening is peacefully settling over the farm – it’s not long until crickets will start their nightly concert.

Description
Silk Cotton Tree is an open flat expanse with a large drain running through the middle.
Elevation
8 meters
General Climate
Old Bacolet is a flat and open farm, exposed to the high winds blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. As the farm is open, this exposes it to the elements more so than other farms. Rain, winds and sun work in tandem to cover their way over all cane fields of the farm. In October, when the winds are really high, this may bring the tendency for cane to fall or blow over, with the funnel of winds that blow through. There is no notable difference in the effects of rain and sun between the terroirs, yet Seaward terroir may bring the occasional flood at the bottom of the farm, due to its man-made preparation of its fields, and its proximity to the river that leads to a swamp before it meets the sea. A unique feature to this farm, however, is Terroir Overlook. This field is elevated higher than the rest of the farm due to its formation on top of a dumping site. This disposition makes it appear to be on a platform that allows one to “overlook” the whole farm.

DEVON’S DESCRIPTION

Appearance: A brilliant, clear gold

Nose: A complex melody of thrilling, perfumed floral notes with darker, duskier, roasty tones. Sweet, spicy and intensely aromatic.

Palate: A full, high-definition arrival revelling in the intensity of pure cane rum and this distinctive terroir. Vivid, fresh citrus fruit and bright spices carry over a silky, indulgent vanilla custard, buoyed by unctuous spirit texture.

Finish: Smooth, round and comfortingly warming. Drifts gently away.
