The column stenght fashion, initiated by Neisson <\/strong>and his superb \u00ab\u00a0l’esprit\u00a0\u00bb, has been emulated in the world of rum for a few years with among other things Longueteau and his \u00ab\u00a0genesis\u00a0\u00bb, A1710 and \u00ab\u00a0la perle brutel\u00a0\u00bb , Dillon, Bielle, Bologna and Montebello \u2026 I probably forget some, especially among independent bottlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best and sometimes the least good, this new category remains a niche sector, where only the most geeks <\/strong>of us dare to adventure there. Besides, the distilleries have understood this and the volumes are often very limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I am not a huge fan of this kind of product, although I recognize that it is often very interesting. This remains the purest form of distillation work in the end. But this is clearly not the kind of bottle in which we are going to instinctively pick at the time of the aperitif or the digestive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when the La Favorite<\/strong> distillery announced to us last year that it will put column strenght on the market, I admit that I was not transcended by the news. I knew I would buy it, but that just because I really like the products from this friendly and authentic family distillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when the imminent release is announced, two big surprises! The first comes from the label<\/strong>, superbly produced by Lucas Vallerie<\/a><\/strong> who is the author of a magnificent book \u00ab\u00a0Cyparis, the prisoner of Saint Pierre<\/a><\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0. Second news, it will be a blend of juice from the two Creole columns in place at the distillery \u2026 We will therefore be entitled to a Brut 2 Colonnes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited to 1500 <\/strong>bottles, these will have literally been taken by storm by aficionados of the brand \u2026 and by the other ones who intend to resell them. The concern is that the price in mainland France was \u20ac 79, almost double that of the distillery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distilled in April 2019<\/strong>, these two rums will have been bottled in February 2020<\/strong> at 73.2%<\/strong> after a long rest in stainless steel tanks \u2026 meanwhile, in June 2019, I had the great pleasure of tasting the two, always separated For the little story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
