SODADE Ouro Blanco 8 mois 44,9° 70cl Cap Vert
Authentic Cape Verdean grogue, pure sugarcane juice. 100% Cape Verdean red sugarcane grown on terraces, rich and flavorful for a cask strength blend. 12 days of fermentation using wild yeasts, the secret of which is held by João Santos (the producer SODADE).
Distilled in a Cape Verdean pot still, separating the heads and tails to retain only the heart of the distillate. Aging in French oak barrels for 8 months imparts a smooth, fruity character.
Tasting notes : Golden in color, with warm, inviting, and slightly woody notes, the palate is supple, sweet, intensely fruity, and finishes with a woody touch. It 's a delight and a real favorite of ours!
Traditional rums in Cape Verde are called "Grogue".
6.8% of the price goes to the producer.
Sodade is an extremely artisanal and authentic range! Created by Jonathan, a native of Martinique, he discovered Cape Verde in 2014, having already spent much of his life immersed in rum. In very rural villages, he discovered rums crafted using traditional methods by farmers, distilled for local consumption. He then convinced them to market them!
Sugar cane is harvested there in the traditional way, by hand. Only wild yeasts are used. Distillation takes place on-site in a very traditional clay and stone still (which is even featured on the bottle label!). A well-negotiated share goes directly to the farmers.
