    "Exquisite, yellow fruits meet noble spicy notes and honey sweetness. Despite its great age, the wood is in no way intrusive or otherwise unpleasantly perceptible, on the contrary - the balance is almost perfect. A great bottling."

    "Wahnsinns Rum, immer wieder schön, eine dieser Abfüllungen zu probieren. Ausser der ersten Abfüllung, welche etwas mehr Umdrehungen hat sind jedoch alle ziemlich identisch. Aussergewöhnliche Qualität zu einem super Preis."

    "RumX calendar 17: WOW: what a great rum... an unusual delicate floral-fruity nose, the palate is complex, fruity, with vanilla, roasted, caramelized and coffee! The finish is medium long and creamy... Absolutely top Re-tasting at Dr. Django: This Courcelles is really terrific and quite special in terms of flavors. I would also like a bottle of this"

    "A rum still in stock in Switzerland. Remarkably sweet on the nose, despite the 54%, with amarena cherry, roasted notes, vegetal and floral notes, and marzipan. Very smooth on the palate, as if this rum (which is not an agricole) was made at 40%! Balanced and elegant, with deep fruit and floral aromas. Morello cherry galore and a taste of dark chocolate. A remarkably well-balanced, delicious rum! The empty glass is still very rich in flavors around red fruits with lots of cherry 🍒 Compared to the 2022 version, it's more direct and less mysterious. There's no tar on the nose to complicate the aromatics, and the palate has a citrus edge that the 2022 version doesn't have."
