Chamarel 2012 Sauternes, Highveld Aging Series
Description
Chamarel 2012 Sauternes, Highveld Aging Series
A Mauritian cane-juice rum shaped by Sauternes cask influence and South Africa's high-altitude maturation conditions.
Built on Chamarel's elegant house style, this 2012 vintage began with the distillery's XO framework before spending additional time in a second-fill Sauternes cask. The Highveld Aging Series adds another layer of character through maturation at altitude in South Africa, amplifying concentration and drawing out a rich meeting point between grassy cane freshness and dessert-wine opulence.
