This extraordinary finish sets this rum apart and gives it a special character. This unique finish brings aromas of exotic fruits and Mara strawberries due to the 100% Pinot Noir grapes, without overshadowing the original qualities of this very old rum.

EMPEROR DEEP BLUE - LONDON BRIDGE
70cl - 40°
The bottle of the Deep Blue London Bridge edition was placed in an underwater cellar 60 metres deep for 9 months off the island of Ouessant in Brittany.
The rum was then aged underwater in almost total darkness, at a constant temperature (11-13°C all year round) with maximum humidity, without oxygen and at a pressure of 6 bars (six times atmospheric pressure).
Rums aged underwater differ from their cellar-aged counterparts in that they have their own remarkable sensory and organoleptic characteristics: more aroma, fruity freshness, balance, roundness, less acidity and better preservation of certain properties.
This method of ageing gives the Emperor Rum brand an additional asset to distinguish its production in a unique and exclusive way.
The bottle itself, covered in marine concretions, becomes particularly recognisable and helps to tell a fascinating and poignant story, that of the meeting of rum and sea.
Before being immersed in the sea, the product is aged for 12 months in old Sauternes barrels from Château Clos Haut-Peraguey - Grand Cru Classé 1855, whose powerful, unctuous aromas hint at the wine's mellowness. The toasty, slightly toasted notes are inherited from the oak casks and contribute to the elegance of this edition.
