Levy Lane Poisson 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 :-)"

"Blind tasting. You immediately recognize an agricultural profile. Very vegetal, sweet on the nose. A sweet, honeyed side associated with fruit, rather apple-like. It immediately reminds me of a bielle aged in (sweet) wine barrels. In any case, I'm ready to talk Guadeloupe. Verdict: failed for the Bielle, but Guadeloupe I had 😉 Well done guys."

"Irgendwie gefällt der mir grad net so gut wie hier die Bewertungen sind. Ist auch wieder sehr pflanzlich und floral, aber Holz mich grad nicht ab. Ist mir zi alkoholisch und das Menthol am Gaumen gibt diesem Rum den Rest ;-)"

"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.."

"Complex and rich. Very long finish. But I think I am not into this Calvados finish..."

"Calvados cask doesn't convince me. But the rum itself is great."

"Wow! Very complex, exciting rhum!"

"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."

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

"Franconian Tasting Gang at Jarek's Not even that good. I also expected a little more from this rum. Basically, it's good, but unfortunately not so good that it really deserved a higher rating. Unfortunately, there just wasn't more in it."

"Intense yellow fruits, grass and hay emerge from the glass. Typical Agricole on the palate with yellow fruits. The long finish brings a lot of spice and is dry with a slight hint of saltiness. I like it, but I need to get to grips with Agricole more intensively. Differentiating the aromas is somehow more difficult for me in this category."

"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."

"Not quite my thing, I'm sure there are lovers of this, but it doesn't work for me."

"Finde diesen Rum nicht so gut wie er bewertet ist. Im Geruch erkennt man tropische Früchte. Orange ist definitiv zu erkennen. Auch Nuss ist deutlich zu erkennen. Für mich aber einfach nicht intensiv genug."

"Floral, fruity, pear, silky, smooth on the palate, wood notes and a very fruity pear!"
