    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Manutea cask strength for its fresh menthol lift over ripe banana and sugarcane, wrapped in a distinctive ex‑Banyuls cask character. Expect woody, minty aromas and a palate of licorice, brown sugar and peppery spice, with occasional dried‑fruit warmth. Many note well‑integrated alcohol for 58.7%, though some find tannins and wood a touch assertive. A limited 300‑bottle release that’s gaining fans with 47 community reviews.

    Un rhum très étonnant, ça change de ce qu'on a l'habitude de boire.

    Nez très gourmand et belle couleur acajou. Au nez le boisé domine avec une belle gourmandise apporté par des notes de canne à sucre au maximum de sa sucrosité. En bouche la canne à sucre apparaît longuement au départ. Puis le vieillissement en fût Ex-Banyuls apporte tout son potentiel: une belle richesse aromatique, chaude et rappelant les saveurs méditerranéennes, dates et figues séchés. En finale il reste une certaine amertume et astringence, probablement lié aussi aux tanins du Banyuls, un peu dommage mais il se mariera probablement bien avec cigare dominicain ou nicaraguayen épicé.

    Incredibly beautiful bottling from Tahiti. Overripe banana, blackberry, vanilla pulp and dark chocolate and caramel candy with salt and coffee, plus a good dose of sugar ear, honey and tobacco. Alcohol is very well integrated and extremely complex and long lasting! Absolute benchmark underdog bottling at a very good price from Tahiti💯.

    👃: Vin blanc liquoreux, doux, fraîcheur mentholé sous un fond légèrement fruité et bois jeune et d'épices pas facile a distinguer. L'alcool est très bien intégré. Le deuxième nez annonce davantage de fruits, c'est assez funky. Ça sent bon mais c'est assez timide. On sent qu'on a quitté les petites Antilles françaises.⭐⭐⭐ 👄 : Explosion de saveur, texture très grasses rappelant le vin liquoreux. l'attaque est frange sans être désagréable, l'alcool est plutôt bien intégré. Prédominance de fruits plutôt mûrs et vient ensuite les fruits a coques et les épices dans un fond de bois. J'aime beaucoup cette bouche. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⏳: Bois humides pas très agréable avec des épices types poivres, cardamomes. Dans l'ensemble assez amer, ce que je n'aime pas d'autant qu'elle est assez longue ⭐⭐
