Saison Caribbean Rum
Saison Caribbean Rum is a 42% ABV (84 proof) three-terroir Caribbean blend — Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica — aged up to 5 years in American white oak in the Caribbean, then blended and rested 9 months in mature French Limousin oak barrels on the banks of the Charente River in France. Assembled by Cognac Master Jérôme Tessendier of Distillerie Tessendier & Fils with no added sugar or caramel, it's a Silver Medal winner at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Three Terroirs, One Blend
Every Saison rum starts with the Tessendier idea: apply a cognac house's terroir blending to Caribbean rum. This one draws on three islands — Barbadian elegance, Trinidadian depth, Jamaican fruit — matured up to five years in the Caribbean heat, then brought together and rested nine months in Limousin oak in France before bottling. It's the most approachable bottle in the line: softer than the single-origin Triple Casks, livelier than a pure Barbadian.

Tasting Notes
Island fruit and molasses up front, softened by nine months of Limousin oak — vanilla, light toast, and a gentle dryness on the finish; unhurried and balanced at 42%.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a cube for the full three-terroir read. It's also the Saison best suited to cocktails — a quality daiquiri or a rum-based Mai Tai benefits from its balance.
