Top review from RumTaTa:
"Comparative tasting with RX890 Nose: as with the RX890, the alcohol is very well integrated and brings a lot of fruit and agricole aromas. The palate is also a little dull but not as much as RX890. This rum also delivers a little more sweetness. In the finish, the spectrum fans out again enormously. Because of the nuance of more sweetness, the 2015 vintage gets one point more from me. Both bottlings are very similar and exemplary examples of what rum matured exclusively in steel tanks can do."
Genesis XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"#4206 Wow, this is a bomb of flavours. I rested it for 30 minutes before giving it a go because it's pretty powerful when poured. Pretty fresh and intense with fruits and light wood and spice. I like the light smoky and marzipan note in the profile. The palate is dry and warm and pretty well balanced. The empty glass has some light coconut and nutty notes."
La Cuvée 62.0
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"The bottle has already been opened several times since I bought two bottles after sampling it. This rum is elegant and the nose appears as soon as you open the bottle. Fresh, floral notes with cane and grass. Nice and warm in the palate with a very long finish. Price to quality is very good in my mind. Next time I'll try it with some lime zest to see what happens."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This Longueteau Genesis rum batch 3 from the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe is produced from red cane, grown on plot No. 9 at the habitation. Itâs from the 2018 harvest and has rested for 2 years after its distillation in a stainless tank aerated regularly. Thereafter is this brut de colonne bottled without any reduction at 72,7% in 5000 bottles. Overall a really great Agricole Blanc thatâs very aromatic, powerful and incredibly soft for the high ABV."

"When you look at the price tag you will get a surprise trying this rum. You get a bang for your buck here. Very fruity and fresh with nice floral notes. The palate is smooth and rounded despite the ABV. Lovely rum đ"
SĂ©lection Parcellaire No. 12 Canne Rouge
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"This is the last of older tastings for now đ Once rested this rum is really nice. Fruity and fresh with nice floral and grassy notes. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is wonderfully fresh with citrus and mint. This rum will probably be splitting waters but I think it's pretty good ad the price tag is really good."

Top review from Fasen :
"A natural cane which offers us fresh notes of citrus fruits (Limes / Orange), very vegetable (Hay / Medicinal herb), of peppers. This cane brings us its sugar just cooked, slightly thick as candied, with the side (Floral / Liquorice) we would have the impression to have a drink type cola at the end of mouth.the rum and also rather milky as a yoghurt.In short, it is a sugar cane which is sublimated with this brut de colonne, we manage to be as close as possible to this one it is very interesting and very good!"
Concerto
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Un assemblage de rhums plus ĂągĂ©s que lâĂ©dition PrĂ©lude (5 Ă 12 ans), et cela se ressent dans la finesse et la profondeur des arĂŽmes dĂ©ployĂ©s. On a ici une panoplie dâarĂŽmes affĂ»tĂ©s, qui vont des Ă©pices (rĂ©glisse, muscade) aux fruits tropicaux, en passant par le boisĂ© toastĂ©, les noix, la canne Ă sucre, les herbes aromatiques et le beurre. Le profil est rond, structurĂ© et bien Ă©laborĂ©. La complexitĂ© et la dĂ©licatesse sont encore plus perceptibles en bouche. La palette sâĂ©toffe avec des notes de tabac, de chocolat noir lĂ©gĂšrement amer, mais aussi de notes de miel et dâagrumes qui complĂštent les Ă©pices et le bois au palais. Lâalcool est trĂšs bien intĂ©grĂ©, car malgrĂ© un degrĂ© relativement bas, on perçoit tous les aspects dâun profil qui a Ă©tĂ© sĂ»rement Ă©laborĂ© avec le plus grand soin. La finale est particuliĂšrement longue, avec des notes herbacĂ©es, une facette plus sombre sur le fĂ»t, les noix, le cafĂ© et le cuir, mais aussi des Ă©pices douces et des agrumes qui complĂštent le jus de canne. Une trĂšs belle surprise, sĂ»rement sous-cĂŽtĂ©e de part le marketing (un nom Ă©laborĂ© sur une belle carafe nâest pas toujours bon signe) et pour un prix raisonnable."

"#4136 Wow, this one has a very nice nose and palate. Intense in its own way. Lightly fruity with a lovely floral note and a spicy palate. The finish is very long and warm/spicy. Price to quality is very good."
Rhum Blanc 62
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This rum from the Esperance distillery, which also produces the Karukera brand, is produced from the blue and red canes of the estate. Fermented in a natural way, without any additives and then distilled on a traditional Savalle column whereafter itâs just slightly watered down with the offspring water from the SoufriĂšre volcano before bottled at the estate. Overall an powerful Agricole that despite the high ABV is very smooth and quite mild. Iâve also tested it in a Ti Punch, and it was great. So I understand that itâs very popular locally in Guadeloupe."
XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"One of the best Agricoleâs Iâve tasted, but the weak nose makes me stop at 92. The finish is quite long and goes as on the palate. Itâs a blend of some of the best vintages from the Longueteau house, that consists of 70% 8yo, 20% 9yo and 10% 10yo Rhum."
Genesis Collection Ambré
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Dans la lignĂ©e de la gamme Genesis, ce Longueteau ambrĂ© fait preuve dâune puissance phĂ©nomĂ©nale. La chaleur de lâalcool et des Ă©pices laisse prĂ©sager dâun nez puissant, auquel sâajoute un jeune boisĂ©, de lâherbe et de la canne Ă sucre, mais surtout une bonne corbeille de fruits allant de lâabricot sec Ă la prune en passant par le zeste dâorange et les fruits exotiques. Un profil aromatique et intense. Lâattaque en bouche est virulente, avec la mĂȘme force de frappe alcoolique. La muscade et la cannelle sâallient au citron vert et au pruneau pour une percĂ©e dans le profil qui se veut trĂšs sec. Canne Ă sucre et notes florales finalisent une attaque intense et bien ciselĂ©e. La finale est trĂšs longue et persistante sur les agrumes (citron vert, orange) et le boisĂ© lĂ©gĂšrement Ă©picĂ©, avant que les tanins et les notes vĂ©gĂ©tales viennent apporter de lâastringence et de lâamertume en fin de bouche. Une belle interprĂ©tation du rhum qui est encore assez jeune pour avoir les notes de canne Ă sucre, mais aussi assez mature pour avoir dĂ©but de notes de vieillissement en fĂ»t."
Single Cask XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"For the price this is a great rum. The nose is very fruity with cognac, spice and sugarcane. The palate is well balanced between wood, tannins and fruits trailed by spice, sugarcane as well as a peppery note and a slight vegetal note. The finish is long and fresh with wood, berries and spices."
GENESIS Collection White (Batch 4)
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Well, this Longueteau is no laughing matter! It's a real powerhouse, with a nervous, taut nose of citrus, cane and classic agricultural aromas (vegetal greenery, floral notes, grass) and peppery spices that quiver and tremble impatiently in the nostrils. You can tell there's plenty under the hood. The result is immediate: while the first few seconds are surprisingly mellow with the vesuvius, the explosion really does permeate the mouth with intense, spicy heat. The raw product in its purest form. The flavors are very prominent, even on a nano-gorge: citrus (lemon) and greenery are very powerful. A profile to be approached with caution and parsimony. The finish is no exception: dry, powerful, intensely agricultural, but quickly counterbalanced by an alcohol burn. Pimento, lemon and orange zest share an anesthetized palate to restore some flavor. A rum to be approached with caution to avoid oral depucellation."
Parcellaire No. 4
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Un Longueteau constituĂ© de canne bleu, dont on ressent tous les arĂŽmes et lâĂ©lĂ©gance au nez. Les fruits exotiques et les agrumes se dĂ©voilent avec une touche de marmelade trĂšs gourmande, on ressent une influence saline et iodĂ©e qui se dĂ©marque du reste du profil, Ă la fois complet et savoureux. Lâattaque en bouche est dĂ©licate et sensuelle. La fraĂźcheur de la canne Ă sucre et de lâherbe coupĂ©e, les agrumes et les fruits exotiques se partagent le palais avant que le poivre ne fasse son entrĂ©e pour donner un peu de vivacitĂ©. Le cĂŽtĂ© marin ressort toujours en bouche. Lâalcool est bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est longue, sur la canne confite, les agrumes (zeste de citron), lâiode, le sel et les notes terreuses, florales et vĂ©gĂ©tales. Ce rhum parcellaire a lâavantage par rapport Ă son frĂšre de la parcelle n°1 avec ses arĂŽmes plus distincts, mais on retrouve dans lâensemble un rhum dâune belle rondeur, Ă©lĂ©gant et trĂšs abordable."
Ădition RSMA 60 ans
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a superb Agricole Blanc, extremely round, smooth and tasty that my son offered me a glass of at Fatherâs Day. Itâs a special and limited edition produced from Canne Rouge at the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe. It pays tribute to the work of the RĂ©giment du Service Militaire AdaptĂ© (RSMA) of Guadeloupe, which is highly appreciated on the island. It was originally reserved for Guadeloupe, but some bottles fortunately reached us here in Europe. After fermentation itâs distilled traditionally in a Creole column. By the way, which is a little special for this distillery, does the owners, the Longueteau family, own the whole process from planting the cane to bottling."
Punch Maracudja
Top review from Rhum Mirror đ§đȘ:
"This is a Rhum Agricole Longueteau 50% white in which Maracudja (passion fruit in Creole) has been macerated for several weeks. Bottled at 25%. For the record, the fruit comes from the Marquisat de Sainte Marie estate. The very place where Longueteau also grows its sugar cane. Nose: passion fruit bursting with sugar On the palate: immeasurably sweet, it's like sipping passion fruit juice by the pool in Basse Terre. A true delight, perfect for an aperitif. The only problem? The little Maracudja seeds that accumulate at the bottom of the bottle, but above all, the bottle goes off far too quickly..."
VSOP
Top review from Boletus:
"Patience is rewarded with this rhum. Both the smell and the taste need some time to fully develop. If you swallow too quickly and then exhale with your mouth open, you have only yourself to blame, as you will miss most of the aromas. However, this fine drop is so smooth that you can easily hold it in your mouth for a minute, allowing it to fully unfold its fruity, beautiful aroma spectrum."
Papillon Blanc
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Iâve built my own calendar with samples from Rhum Attitude. In slot #1 I had the Papillon Blanc from Guadeloupe named after the islands nickname. Itâs an Agricole from the Esperance distillery owned by François Longueteau. The distillery also produces the brands Longueteau and Karukera. Itâs distilled in a Creole column and is a blend of 70% blue cane, 20% red cane and 10% yellow cane at ABV 53%. A very good start for the calendar."
Prélude Harmonie Collection
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"My son offered me a glass of this rum from the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe that produces the Longueteau, Karukera & Papillon brands. This Longueteau PrĂ©lude is a blend of relatively young Agricoleâs aged in French oak barrels formerly contained cognac. It is a "brut de fĂ»t", so itâs bottled without any reduction of the alcoholic strength. It has been released in many batches with minor differences in ABV. This one is batch 11 and at ABV 49,8%. Overall an elegant and soft Agricole thatâs giving an impression of being older than it is."

Top review from Maxime Clr đ«đ·:
"TrĂšs beau rhum blanc, bien Ă©quilibrĂ©. TrĂšs bien fait et assez doux malgrĂ© son 55%. On sent la canne fraĂźche, les agrumes, le poivre et le cĂŽtĂ© iodĂ©. TestĂ© pur et en tiâpunch, vraiment super. TrĂšs beau parcellaire que je recommande."
Prelude Harmony Collection
Top review from Jakob:
"Insgesamt etwas zu zurĂŒckhaltend. Longueteau gewinnt fĂŒr mich wahlweise als sehr frisches, ungezĂ€hmtes Destillat oder nach einigen Jahren Reifung. Hier liegen wir sowohl was das Alter als auch die StĂ€rke angeht auf einem Mittelweg, der sicher Freunde findet, mir aber zu wenig aussagekrĂ€ftig daherkommt."
Vieux 3 Ans
Top review from Valentin M:
"Excellent value for money, as is often the case with Longueteau. A very milk chocolate/fudge profile, full-bodied. An easy-drinking rum with complexity. A good way to introduce people to rhum agricole, or to share with friends."
