"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."

"Nach der No 22B nun die länger gereifte, aber leider herabgestze (Fasstärke? Also schon reduziert ins Fass…?) 22C. Nase: deutlich würziger aber auch süßlich fruchtig. Die Reifung im Cognac-Fass macht sich stark bemerkbar. Brauner Zucker, fast schon Zuckerwatte und Honig zusammen mit Papaya, Rosine und Vanille. Leicht holzig, aber eher in Richtung Kork. Hinten etwas Karamellschokolade und Sahnetoffee und wieder Cognac. Gaumen: für nur 43,% doch recht geschmacksvoll, was eindeutig dem Cognac-Fass zu verdanken ist, welches jedoch auch den Grundstoff ordentlich verändert hat. Kommt würzig und leicht holzig daher und hat eine leichte Anis-Note. Bekommt dann etwas fruchtiges von Johannisbeere, Kiwi und Stachelbeere. Im recht kurzen Abgang grasiges Zuckerrohr. Nicht schlecht für nur 43,4%."

"Third, the original juice of the two (22B and C). No. 22A. And that hits the suppository with almost 83% properly.nose: careful smelling is announced, but then comes a lot of fermented fruit, floral and something vegetal. Here the unripened Agricole resemble each other but clearly. This one has an oily heaviness. Ripe honeydew melon and papaya meet mild olive. The 83% is there, but doesn't hurt.Palate: blatantly creamy, oily and intense. I think even my pulse quickens briefly at the %%. But flows amazingly well down the palate. Lots of fermented honeydew melon. Slightly bitter for a moment, then honeyed sweetness again. In the back, typical Agricole, becoming distinctly grassy.Challenging and flavor intense. Very interesting."

"This rum is lightly dry and has a long finish. Fruity with spices and it has a herbal touch with honey to it. Very well balanced and complex. A lovely rum and a very good buy in my mind."

"What a lovely and intense rum. Velier really knows how to finish their rums. Very fresh and spicy with fruit, spices, caramel and tobacco and fruit. The caramel is very clear without being too dominant. I think I got a hint of smoky wood there as well."

"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."

"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."

"Nez gourmand et pas agressif malgré les presque 80% au compteur ! On retrouve bien évidemment de la canne à sucre bien fraîche. Mais aussi des notes végétales, de pomme verte et de citron. En bouche, c’est du rhum, du vrai, de l’intense. De la canne qui explose en bouche, c’est ample et très végétal. C’est incroyable d’élégance et précision pour une telle concentration. La canne fraîche se déploie et fond en bouche avec un côté légèrement fumé. C’est frais et épicé. Il ne laisse pas indifférent. On l’aime mais on y plonge les lèvres que très doucement vu le gaillard ! La finale est longue, très longue … Je retrouve le plaisir de ma découverte il y a quelques années avec le Longueteau Genesis. J’adore ! Avec une préférence pour ce 3ème batch (comparé au 2019). Concernant le 40% 2019, il n’a que peu d’intérêt surtout si on le compare au magnifique Zenga (60%)."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Wow the 81% are integrated very well. Blind i would say approx. 60%. It‘s like a solid agricole with some crazy notes of artichokes. I see this more as a mixing rum than drink it straight. Very nice as a sample 🤓"

"This is a very nice white Agricole. On the other hand comparing the price tag to what you get you then have a very good rum. The nose has very fresh Agricole notes with sugarcane and fruit. Int he back there is are light candied notes and some anise. The finish is long, warm and oily with sugarcane and nuts. A very good buy if you like Agricole."

"Have had this 14yo Montebello from the Carrere distillery for a while and now it was time to test it. The Carrere distillery is quite young. They started up 1930 and from 1966 it has been operated by the Marsolle family. It’s vintage 2000 bottled 2015 at ABV 50,6%. There’s just 1250 bottles blended from four different ex bourbon casks. It’s extremely elegant and smooth and it’s actually quite hard to understand that the ABV is 50,6%. To feel the elegance of this rum it’s in my opinion important to keep it for a while in your mouth before you swallow."

"With a medium long finish you get a pretty good rum considering the price tag. The Agricole notes are there as well as light fruit and spices. I rally like the dry oily feel on the palate."
