TRES HOMBRES - Captains Choice - La Isla Bonita Vintage 2001 - Ed. 38 - 57,9%
Les Frères de la Côte are a group of importers/bottlers of products exclusively transported by sailboats. The company was created in 2015 by two French sailboat captains: Raphaël and François Mangin. Les Frères de la Côte rums have been bottled since 2017 in their depot located in Saint-Etienne in the Loire. They sail on the Très Hombres, a 32-meter Brigantine-type sailboat, without an engine, for 35 tons of cargo. Since 2010, the Très Hombres has made 12 Atlantic rotations from its home port in the Netherlands. In 2019, a new company (La Compagnie des Frères de la Côte) was created with the aim of rehabilitating the sailboat Zeehaen, Brigantine of more than 45 meters for 120 tons of cargo. The concept is to develop a fleet of cargo sailboats offering an alternative to current transport, and to restore a more human value to the transport of transatlantic goods with a trade closer to the ecology than to the economy.
Captain’s Choice edition 38 is a rum from La Palma made with sugar cane grown on the fields of Aldea without the addition of fertilizers or pesticides. After its distillation in 2001, the rum matured for 18 years in ex-Bourbon casks then a cask of Sherry Oloroso and a cask of Port took this rum on a 7-month Atlantic tour. The drawing on the bottle was made by Lynx Guimond, who also created the figurehead of the Très Hombres and the wooden sculpture above the steering wheel. The stopper is sealed with beeswax, mixed with color pigments that are ground from natural raw materials in a traditional windmill in Zaandam.
