Rhum House Domaine de Courcelles Rhum Vieux Édition 2014 1972

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.

Expressive and profound bottling, for me the strongest from the Rum House range. Complex aromas with ripe fruit, fine spice and elegant wood notes. Intense and multi-layered despite the moderate drinking strength. The differences to the other releases are minor, but everything seems a little more harmonious here. Exceptional quality, especially in relation to the price.

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.

Let’s keep this brief: delightful stuff! Intense and complex on the nose as well as on the palate. Intense with a very long finish. Right after the Velier release clearly number two in the range. Cheers Jakib for the set.

Intensiv, perfekte Balance, vielschichtig, lang anhaltender Abgang. Was ganz geiles! Exquisite! Französische Rums haben teilweise eine Eleganz, die seinesgleichen sucht.

Blind Community Tasting Courcelles 1972 by Jakob. Danke für die Orga Jakob👌 Fruchtig mit viel roten Früchten. Hier vor allem auch Kirschen / Sauerkirschen. Parfum, Vanille, Am Gaumen Honig. Ein tolles Profil. Mein Tipp: Ist das der 2014

#17th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: cherry, mirabelle plum, red fruits, mango, woody, spicy Mouth: cherry, caramelized, honey, roasted, woody Finish: long, oak, woody, delicious, cherry, mirabelle plum, creamy, bitter, smoky, salty It’s a really nice agricole with a lovely fruity hint of cherries and mirabelle plum, which rest for a long time in mouth and the empty glass too. The alcohol is integrated very well My prediction: I’ll go again with Martinique ca. 50% approx. 20 Years

Marzipan Note in Nase und Mund. Ich bin kein Fan von Marzipan :D. Sehr komplex, viele Waldkräuter. Frisch geöffnete Flasche, die sicher noch gut oxidieren wird.

Hammer, the rum! There's a lot on the nose at once, and it changes the longer the rum is in the glass. You can smell it for hours! It's really difficult to capture everything: Vanilla, apricot, baking spice, mango, allspice, floral, honey. It also reminds me of Rockleys, especially the Plantation Extreme 1986. Roasty on the palate, vanilla, dark chocolate, cask. A real pearl!

I have the 47 year old Courcelles and this one is pretty close to it. Very fruity with a hint of barrel and vanilla. There is a touch of smoke from the roasting and the day after the nose is very nice and chocolaty :-)

Un vieux rhum à l’ancienne qui a gardé beaucoup de saveurs et de peps pour son âge. Le nez est très fruité, avec de jolies épices, des notes de tabac, de bois, un léger voile rôti et des saveurs de crème brûlée très agréables. En bouche, l’attaque est sèche mais délicieuse, embaumée d’épices, de moka, de chocolat, de tabac, de notes rôties, des fruits secs et de banane. L’alcool est très bien intégré, même si une petite pointe alcoolique subsiste dans l’arrière-bouche. La finale est plus terne et moins marquée, mais toujours influencée par les épices, le tabac et quelques notes d’herbes, de fumée, de bois et de fruits secs. Un très beau rhum qui fait honneur à son terroir disparu.

Außergewöhnliches Profil! Im Vergleich zum Velier nicht so süß, deutlich komplexer.

Nase: reife Aprikose und Pfirsich, wunderbar! Riecht fast wie ein entsprechender Likör, unglaublich! Später kommt süßes Gebäck hinzu und Parfüm. Gaumen: deutlich mehr Würze als die Nase vermuten läßt, daneben Mirabellenbrand. Im Nachklang noch immer Mirabellen, trockener werdend mit einem Wechselspiel der Aromen von Nase und Gaumen! Das ist ein unglaublicher Rum, wem sich die Gelegenheit zum kosten bietet - unbedingt ergreifen!

Un sublime agricole
