Cognac Methods, Trinidad Rum
The "triple cask" is a three-stage journey: ex-bourbon American white oak in Trinidad, then two successive French oak maturations in Jarnac, France — medium-grain, then fine-grain. Jérôme Tessendier selects batches by aromatic profile (floral, fruity, spicy) the same way a cognac house assembles its blends. "Saison" is French for "season," named for the four key steps defined by the Tessendier cellar master. The result is a rum with the structure of aged cognac and the soul of Trinidad molasses.

Tasting Notes
Tropical fruit and warm spice from the Trinidad years, with the French oak adding cocoa, toasted almond, and a cognac-like polish; the 48% bottling keeps the finish long and dry, no sugar softening it.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a single cube — this is a rum to taste, not mix. The 48% strength rewards slow sipping; a Glencairn or copita shows the aromatic range.
