For the end of year celebrations, Isautier unveils three limited editions offered in the brand's emblematic triangular bottles, which pay homage to the pioneering personalities of the house : old Louis rums & Charles 14 and 22 years old, Antoinette 14 years old and Alfred 12 years old.
The Isautier house thus reminds us that it has been producing high quality rums for seven generations now.. For the breeding of these three special editions, the selection of the required barrels was essential. The choice of Marie Ferrand, Isautier cellar master, used French oak barrels, having previously raised cognac. Their fine grains promote the light extraction of oak tannins, which thus slowly melt into the rum. This particular aging gives them a subtle balance as well as exceptional quality.. With these rums, Isautier also values dual expertise : it is one of the rare rum factories in Reunion, and the world, to distill both agricultural rums and traditional molasses rums.
Louis & Charles 14 and 22 years old
This rum pays homage to the brothers Louis and Charles Isautier. When, 1832 et 1834, they tread the soil of Bourbon Island, they founded the Isautier distillery, the oldest distillery still in operation in Reunion. Louis & Charles embodies the know-how combining a 22-year-old agricultural rum with a traditional 14-year-old molasses rum. Balance, rich, subtly woody, it offers a unique aromatic finesse.
Antoinette 14 years old
This limited edition honors Antoinette Isautier, first female manager of the house in 1865, which allowed the influence of Isautier rum throughout the world. Deep, complex and intense, at nose, the traditional Antoinette molasses rum offers pastry flavors, vanilla and stone fruit. The wide mouth, rich and creamy, gives way to notes of chocolate, beeswax and ginger. The long finish is characterized by touches of precious wood, coffee and vanilla.
Alfred 12 years old
From 1910, Alfred Isautier, grandson of Charles and Antoinette Isautier, brings the distillery into a new era. Creator of the iconic triangular bottle from the house of Isautier, he worked to modernize the company through his capacity for innovation which this traditional old molasses rum intends to symbolize, harmoniously combining fruity and woody notes and with a finish marked by aromas of candied fruits., precious wood and cocoa.
These three limited editions are available in La Maison du Whiskey boutiques, at fine wine merchants and on www.whisky.fr.
Isautier lifts the veil on his “Double Agents”
Agent Double rums are born from the expertise of Maison Isautier in the blending of agricultural rum and molasses rum. L’Agent Double 01, predominantly agricultural rum, expresses the freshness of the cane supported by the roundness of the molasses. L’Agent Double 02, predominantly traditional rum, expresses notes of licorice typical of molasses supported by the sweetness of fresh cane.
A new Arhumatik
Launched in 2020, Arhumatiks are liqueurs with traditional rum and natural tropical fruit juices and flavors, lighter in alcohol and fruitier than the Arrangés Isautier. Latest addition to the range, l’Arhuatik Tangor (45% tangor jus).
