Tamosi Père Labat (Hiali)

04.05.2024 Retasting during a nice exclusive tasting at Romdeluxe. I stick to my score and I still love it. -------------------------- This is a very nice interpretation of a Pere Labat and the flavours just come at you from opening the bottle. My favourite part is that they didn't lower the ABV. Leave the glass for the next day and nose it, amazing flavours still emanating from the glass. Price to quality is extremely good which is why I bought a backup bottle :-)

What a delight. It glides along by itself. Alcohol very well integrated, nice length. Very nice rum. I love it.

Shut up and take my money. Superb.

Taste of 3 random rhum agricoles, let´s see. Rum Artesanal Clement 2015, 55,5% Tamosi Hiali Peré Labat 2013, 57,5% J.M Millisime 2004, 42,9% C: Gold N: Oh, I know I’ll love this one. Oily and earthy. Am I smelling the best tequila reposado in the world? Sweet celery mixed with purée of pears, granny apples, rasp- and strawberries. On top of that dulce de leche, Tea and touches of vinegar. But that´s not it, I also get light peat, very resemblance of that burn eucalyptus and old tyres I get with pot still from Fiji. All very subtle though, almost elegant. M: So good, different, totally different to everything I’ve had before. But I love it. Earthy. Whiff of burn sugar and veggies. Sweet sourness. Big taste! F: Good length. Chilli heat! B: Yes sir. A very particular kind of distillate.

Das Calvados Fass schmecke ich nicht diekt heraus, allerdings hat er tolle Fruchtnoten. Etwas Wasser tut ihm sehr gut, dann wird er fruchtiger und man kann sich den Calvados dazu denken.Typisch langer, leckerer Agricole-Abgang. 😉

Wow! Very complex, exciting rhum!

Very very tasty and balanced Marie galante rum. Surprisingly complex and elegant for 57.5% . Makes a real mood despite the young age!

A Père Labat with lively and expressive aromas, with a very impregnated herbaceous, vegetal and floral framework, exotic fruits, wood, spices and sweet notes of sugar cane and caramel that embellish the nose. The rum is much more marked in the mouth, with a very spicy, floral and vegetal profile. There is an appreciable salty and mineral touch, and the bitterness brought by licorice, anise and cocoa. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, carried by this earthy, vegetal and spicy profile. A very pleasant rum, round and complex for its age and power.

Nase ist poisson-typisch. Schön floral, Mir vor allem durch den ausgezeichneten ungelagerten 59er bekannt. Langsam strömen fruchtige Aromen hinzu. Ich nehme eher rote Früchte wahr. Ein schöner roter Apfel in etwa. Das ganze unterlegt mit etwas marzipanähnlicher süße. Am Gaumen geht es etwas mehr Richtung Bratapfel, wir bleiben floral, sehr angenehm weich am Gaumen, Alkohol ausgezeichnet integriert. Einiges an Tanninen aber niemals zuviel und ein schönes trocken-elegantes Finish. Dann unbedingt Mal am leeren Glas riechen 🤗

8,6:On the nose, a very attractive first impression with herbaceous, grassy sugar cane, fresh, flowery and an apple, citrus, then nutty wood. On aeration, it get's a bit darker with a licorice, roasted wood notes like caramel, marzipan and pastry, the fruits and cane are fermented, we spot some black berry, orange, the cane is minty and fresh with tea, from spices, a vanilla lights the darker notes. 8,6:On the palate, the sugarcane is mineral, flowery and herbaceous, grassy with sweet honey, fermented like the fruits that occupy our tasting buds, especially pear, orange, we are attacked with some esters, pepper and salt, roasted and smoky wood with caramel, pastry.After a nice rest, a bit darker with licorice, nutty, fresh with tea and minty notes, a variety of fruits pop up with red, yellow ones and some apples, the wood releases a tannic touch. 8,5:The finish is long, tannins continue with a cooperation of green tones of sugar cane honey, dry and smoky, roasted wood notes, FAI crunchy bread, bbq, nuts, there is some rubber, the tropical fruits like banana and mango are fermented, orange is bitter..

Wow! Initially fruity on the nose, then turning spicy. Sweet, herbal and spicy on the palate. Very interesting. The influence of the Calvados cask always shines through, but not too obtrusively. Very distinctive profile, but also very tasty. Addendum: I got myself a sample for the first tasting and I liked the rum so much that I had to have a bottle. Yesterday we opened it as part of a tasting of the Franconian Rum Tasting Gang and I hardly recognized the rum. Unpleasantly sharp alcohol, the Calvados influence very dominant in the direction of fruit brandy. Not an 8.6 rating. However, I let the rum oxidize a little and then try it again.

At first quite a heavy bitterness and sharpness. After while it develops in to a warmer bouquet. Going back to the glass it keeps developing. Very nice indeed!

Alot of caramel on the nose, followed by chocolate, anise, baked apple and pears on palate. Quite enjoyable. Thanks Tobias for sharing a sample.

Blind verkostet, der Rum kann seine Herkunft nicht verleugnen. Im Mund erst voller Guadeloupe Antritt, mit einen Hauch grasigen und dann schönen hellen Fruchtnoten. Der Abgang überlagert dann allerdings etwas das Profil mit einem würzigen Winter-Bratapfel Profil. Hatte auf einen Bielle oder Bellevue getippt. Durchaus interessant, auch wenn ich mir immer noch unschlüssig bin, ob ich das Calvados-Finish gut finden soll oder ob es so etwas überhaupt braucht. Habe mir daraufhin nochmals ein Sample organisiert, um nochmals in Ruhe nachzutesten, das ich heute geöffnet habe. Bin immer noch hin und hergerissen. Das Pere Labat Profil ist nämlich generell sehr geil.

Tres joli on retrouve les marqueurs de la maison, avec une très agréable finale bien longue ( contrairement au 2004)
