Top review from Jakob:
"Completely different league than all other Montebellos known to me - it should of course also be noted that it is in the comparison field in terms of distillation vintages a difference of more than three decades. What is offered here, however, is simply sensational: In the nose already of breathtaking depth with heavy fruits, fresh cola aroma and floral notes, the bouquet thickens on the palate to an oily texture with chocolaty sweetness, heavy fruitiness, excellent spice and perfectly balanced wood influence. Whatever Carrere (or whoever - the exact origin is still rumored) did differently than today: Play it again, Sam!"

"This rum is priced at 500+ Euro, but is it worth the money? In my opinion, most definitely. The nose comes at you once you pour it, candied fruits, vanilla and a bit of earthiness. The barrel has also left notes of bourbon and overall a very well balanced nose. The palate is complex and like velvet, yum. Fruits, caramel and chocolate with wood and vanilla trailing. In the end a hint of mocha and tobacco. The finish is long and velvety with wood, fruits, vanilla and a hint of tobacco. A very good rum worth the price tag."

"What a bomb of an unaged rum. Lots of fruits and very intense in the profile. I let it rest for 30 minutes before sipping and also tried with a bit of water to see if more flavours would be released. It draws really nice curtains in the glass the."

Top review from Jakob:
"An sich sehr schön balanciert, am Gaumen leider etwas zu flach, was auch an der reduzierter Stärke liegt. Der Rum wirkt mitunter etwas verwässert, wobei die reduzierte Stärke durchaus auch ein paar zusätzliche Noten hervorkitzelt. Die Komplexität bleibt leider etwas auf der Strecke, insgesamt bleibt es aber bei einem gelungenen Release."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Bought some samples of Montebello Blanc from Rhum Attitude. This one is the first Cuvée Bolokos, vintage 2018. The cane is from R 579 is hand harvested and called red or purple cane. It was rested for 12 months and regular stirred to be more aromatic. The name “The Bolokos” comes from the Guadeloupean punk band "The Bolokos" and their song "White Rum" which was filmed in the distillery. It’s a limited edition of just 943 bottles. Overall a great Agricole, but the ABV overpowers the taste a little bit too much."

"#4212 This one is very similar to the others once rested to reveal all the flavours. Intense and fresh vith light fruits and some licorice in the back. The empty glass has some vanilla and mint as well as very faint chocolate. The hype has caught up with it and it's now pretty expensive compared to the other releases."

"Another freat rum that is extremely rare now. I was lucky to get a sample and at the time of release the price to quality was very good. You may still be able to get it at auction for an OK price. Very fresh and floral with fruits and leather. Lightly dry, complex and intense in a way. If you get the chance give it a go."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a great, round and smooth Agricole that’s very exciting because of the odd casks it has been finished in. This cuvée is the second La Rencontre that so far have reached Europe. Waiting excited for the four forthcoming. This one has after aged for about seven years been finished for 125 days in Pommeau de Bretagne casks from the Gorvello distillery. Pommeau is a blend of Calvados and apple cider at ABV 17%. It was distilled in August 2015 and bottled in just 1650 bottles in September 2022 as a cask strength at 49,1% blended from four barrels."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a great and well balanced Agricole. The Carrere distillery in Guadeloupe has started a release of a collection of Agricole’s that’s finished in different casks. Right now I have seen six different releases, but just two have reached Europe so far. This one is distilled in 2015, aged for almost 7 years before finished during 188 days in barrels from the Menhirs distillery previously contained Breton whiskey and thereafter bottled in just 2240 numbered bottles. I’m looking forward to taste the following releases in the La Rencontre series."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This one was a surprise. A complex rum yet a rum that's subtle and easy and smooth on the palate. The nose is very fruity with cane and candied fruits and a hint of licorice. The palate is very well balanced as well as complex, yet smooth. Fruity with spices, nuts and leather and a hint of tobacco, yum. The finish is medium to long with spices, raisin and tobacco. Price to quality is pretty good."

"Thinking about the price you get a good deal here. Very well rounded and intense rum. In order to release its full flavours you need to rest this rum for at least 15 minutes and I fond that it was best after 30 minutes. The oak is taking the front seat here without being too dominant."

Top review from Vincent D:
"Toujours sympathique de tester ces mariages tentés par Montebello tant certains sont réussis. Ici, le vieillissement dans d'anciennes barriques de vin de Bourgogne est sensible au nez comme en bouche. Cela apporte beaucoup de fruit et de douceur. Mais un peu trop de raisin pour mon goût. Un peu trop marqué à mon sens."

"29.09.2023 This is a nice and intense unaged. I tried this one at a whopping 83% where it's even better in my mind. Intense and fruity with floral and earthy notes. The palate is oily and spicy with fruit and grassy notes. The finish is very long and warm with some citrus. Draws nice and thick curtains in the glass. The empty glass is fresh and has some iodine and very light mint."

"Spamming with a few older tastings that I haven't added yet. Pretty good release but I would have loved a higher ABV. Overall balance is OK but expected more from a release this old."
