Description

Ti Ced Les Vieillis Apple Pear Hops: A Rum Punch Inspired by Northern French Brewing Heritage

A Limited Edition Celebrating Northern France

Ti Ced Les Vieillis Pomme Poire Houblon is an original limited-edition rum punch produced by Les Rhums de Ced', an artisanal French producer based near Nantes.

The expression celebrates the brewing heritage of Northern France by combining traditional orchard fruits with an ingredient more commonly associated with beer: hops.

It belongs to the Les Vieillis collection, which explores the influence of cask maturation and distinctive flavour combinations.

French Caribbean Agricole Rum Aged in Beer Casks

The base spirit is agricole rum from the French Caribbean, produced from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses.

Before being combined with the other ingredients, the rum is aged for twelve months in oak casks previously used for beer.

This maturation adds another dimension to the fresh sugar cane character of the spirit.

The result provides a distinctive foundation for the fruit and hop infusion.

Belle de Boskoop Apples, Pears and Cascade Hops

Three ingredients define the aromatic identity of this limited release.

Belle de Boskoop apples contribute lively acidity, gently spiced flavours and notes reminiscent of stewed fruit.

Ripe pears introduce juicy sweetness and delicate floral aromas.

French Cascade hops add citrus characteristics and a restrained bitterness, balancing the richness of the fruit.

Together, these ingredients create an unusual expression that connects rum making with traditional brewing flavours.

Appearance and Tasting Notes

The nose opens with fresh sugar cane and a refreshing hoppy character.

As the aromas develop, ripe pear introduces delicate floral notes, while Belle de Boskoop apple adds stewed fruit and gentle spice.

The palate is rounded and generous, with the character of agricole rum clearly present.

Pear and apple flavours combine with hints of vanilla biscuit.

Cascade hops bring citrus freshness, adding contrast to the fruit's natural sweetness.

The finish is persistent and harmonious, with lingering pear, stewed apple and a delicate hoppy bitterness.

Serving Suggestions

Ti Ced Apple Pear Hops is designed to be enjoyed neat, either at room temperature or slightly chilled.

A tulip-shaped glass allows its fruit and hop aromas to develop gradually.

It can also complement apple tart, baked pears or lightly spiced fruit desserts.

An Original Addition to the Les Vieillis Collection

This limited edition offers an unusual interpretation of French rum punch.

Its combination of agricole rum, beer-cask ageing, orchard fruit and hops makes it particularly interesting for enthusiasts of both aged rum and craft beer traditions.
