Les Frères de la Côte - La Favorite - Cuvée Navigation 2022 n°2 + Original White Miniature - Vintage 2022 - 54.1%
The Brothers of the Coast 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 . The Rhums Frères de la Côte 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 engine, for 35 tons of cargo. Since 2010, the Très Hombres has completed 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 ecology than to the economy.
The Navigation 2022 No.2 cuvee of Vieux Dynamique agricultural rum from the La Favorite distillery comes from rum from the 2021 harvest, intoned in February 2022 in 6 ex-Pineau des Charentes barrels from Tonnellerie Navarre . It underwent dynamic aging at sea aboard the Très Hombres before being bottled in April 2023 by the Frères de la Côte in the cellar of Saint-Etienne, in the Loire. The bottle is accompanied by a mignonette of the white rum selected before the trip, in order to be able to taste the impact of the dynamic breeding.
