It’s quite bright and spicy, especially compared with the older version which was more on the “rotten fruit” kind of side. Gentle spice with a touch of candied lemon - once past the fruit there's so much going on with the spice and dark smokiness.

The Vendome dates back to 1994 and can contain 5,000 gallons (18,900 litres); it is installed on a “covered veranda” and is the only still that faces the sugarcane fields surrounding the distillery. It has maintained the same production methods and techniques for the last two centuries, such as the use of its own spring water, prolonged fermentation time with wild yeasts, tropical ageing, no added colorants and sugar, and distillation exclusively in pot stills. Weighing in at a generous 60% ABV, the bold, powerful rum retains plenty of tropical character, with layers of rich oak char, exotic fruit, and woody spice. This legendary distillery is one of the (just a) few that still maintains centuries old production techniques that were developed to create its signature full bodied, high ester rums.From the arid plantations on the edge of the Mexican desert, through the rugged glens of the Scottish Highlands, to the undulating vineyards of Cognac in Southwest France, successive generations have been distilling the fermented liquor of agave, barley, grape, cane sugar and other fruits, plants and grains.

But it's been fermented for a longer time (as it says on the label), so the esters are quite noticeable, too much for my taste. On the palate: Persistent and pleasant notes of ginger, vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee bean, resin and praline.
