    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense tropical fruit profile
    • Complex, balanced flavour layers
    • Well-integrated, creamy alcohol

    Tropical fruits—mango, apricot, and peach—shine brightest in this Isautier Small Batch 2007, backed by layers of spice, mint, and elegant oak. RumX tasters highlight its dense, complex profile, balancing creamy sweetness and herbal notes with a dry, woody finish. Nuances of vanilla, chocolate, and floral aromas create real intrigue for fans of French cask influence. Worth exploring for those who enjoy tropical, spicy rums with a refined edge.

    "A rum balanced in aromas, for my taste far too much. A fine rum, but the column distillation limits its potential. The nose reveals a light roastiness accompanied by dark chocolate, wood and spice. On the palate there is wood, spice, faint roasting/roasting and balsamic notes with a not too long lychee/grape finish. One senses the use of ex-cognac barrels that give it a refined profile close to agricole. A rum that needs attention, but personally not my style."

    "20.12.2023 Having a retaste today and it's a lot better than the first time. I wonder if it's because the bottle has been opened and we took some glasses and then closed it again. Definitely a lot better and this time a much higher score. -------------- #4011 This one was very disappointing compared to the other two. Everything is off and not really balanced. maybe it's the triple cask maturation that went wrong? The price tag on this one is also half of the other two, but I wouldn't buy this one to be honest. Tomorrow I'll finish up the last 3 I have if the 15 year old (September 06 - December 21) has been added to the database."

    "Banana, lots of banana. Then very spicy and a prime example of tropical wood maturity, the oak is perfectly integrated. Great solvent. In the mouth then full-bodied and warm. Perfect alcohol. Horny plastic nodes in the finish. The little brother of the Traditionnel 2005 and equally good."

    "Now that's a seductive rum! Wonderful, these mango and peach notes! The only thing that detracts from the overall impression is, in my opinion, the overpowering alcohol on the palate, of which there is really no trace on the nose. Now I really must try the 16-year-old brother (also molasses)! Thanks to Olivia for the sample. Update 2023-12-20: Online blind tasting 20.12.2023 with 6 very different, but precisely for this reason quite excellent rums, none of which I would particularly like to emphasize in retrospect, each tasted good in its own way and brought its character to the flight, which is why no points were awarded. A great tasting with friends, in which each of us contributed a blind sample. Order RX17286 RX726 RX9954 RX3604 RX39 RX12384 If you want to know what an extract of overripe apricots tastes like, try RX12384, simply delicious."
