Aikan means "marriage" in Arawak, the language of the first Amerindians who populated Martinique. In the case of this whisky, the marriage is celebrated between two continents, two climates (temperate in Europe, tropical in the Caribbean), and two exceptional universes, that of rum and whisky. After all, whisky and rum are similar in many ways: like its malty cousin, rum has in its vocabulary terms and processes such as column or still distillation, fermentation and yeast, blend, single cask, and vintage.
In short, it is from this extraordinary and unusual union that the subtle and singular character of Aikan arises.
Moreover, the reduction of Aikan Whisky is achieved thanks to spring water that flows from the bowels of Mount Pelée, a dormant volcano in Martinique. This pure and mineral-rich water contributes to the exceptional quality of Aikan Whisky.
Aikan Fine Rhum Barrels is the deepest expression of Martinique's tropical climate.
It is distilled in Scotland where it is aged for three years before continuing its maturation in a Martinique cellar in a tropical climate for 1 to 2 years. Essentially hors d'âge rum casks and barrels made especially for Aikan by the best French coopers are used.
