‘Don’t live by quantity, live by quality’
The Roots is an independent bottler of the finer spirits such as whisky, rum, cognac and armagnac. In a world where quantity reigns supreme, we go back to the roots. Never ever a compromise will be made in the search for quality. The satisfaction of bottling a beautiful spirit is what it’s all about.
If It’s not love at first sight, it won’t carry ‘The Roots’ label. Everything is carefully chosen with a lot of passion and dedication. We also go for our spirits in their purest form such as natural color, unchillfiltered and preferably bottled at cask strength. You won’t be disappointed, that’s a promise!

THE ROOTS N°19
Born in the heart of Jamaica, forged in fire —this is wild Hampden, a high-ester, unapologetically alive.
Long fermentation, copper pot stills, and partial tropical aging have conspired to unleash a spirit that defies convention and dances on the edge of chaos.
It bursts from the glass with an untamed force: overripe pineapple, fermented mango, nail polish, glue, green olives, banana peel, burnt sugar, and citrus zest — all clashing and colliding in a riot of funk, fruit, and feral beauty.
This is not for the faint of heart.
It’s for those who chase intensity, who sip with curiosity, who embrace the strange and celebrate the extreme.
Bottled together with Antelope from Macau, this release is a shared exclamation — a transcontinental ode to rum at its most raw, expressive way. Unforgettable.
TDL 2009
THE ROOTS N°20
From the shores of Trinidad to the hands of two kindred spirits – this 2009 TDL, drawn from cask 9, speaks in colours too vivid to ignore.
Distilled in a column still, aged with patience and purpose, it now bursts forth with a rainbow of tropical delight.
The nose is an open market at noon: ripe mango, papaya, pineapple, guava — sun-drenched and glowing.
Hints of citrus peel, sugarcane, and a distant echo of mint.
Unfold on the palate with silky precision and radiant warmth.
There’s elegance in the chaos — structure beneath the fruit storm.
It’s a rum that seduces, then surprises, then stays with you.
Bottled in collaboration with Antelope from Macau, this release captures a moment of shared discovery — where Trinidadian sun meets global curiosity.
One cask, one island, one loud, luscious voice.
Maison Aurian 1988
THE ROOTS N°21
From the quiet cellars of Maison Aurian comes a spirit shaped by time – a single cask of Armagnac, distilled in 1988, yet alive with unexpected brightness.
While the decades whispered depth into its frame, it held onto something rare: freshness, lifted fruit, a gentle lightness of being.
Notes of white peach, apricot, citrus zest and dried flowers rise from the glass.
Hints of oak and spice follow — subtle, supporting, never overtaking.
The palate is elegant, airy, yet quietly complex.
Proof that age need not mean heaviness, only grace.
This cask tells a story not just of time passed, but of balance preserved — a rare alignment of fruit, wood and patience.
Selected with care, bottled with reverence — a celebration of Gascon tradition, with a spirit that still sings
