Longueteau GENESIS Collection

A white agricole that polarises: lush sugarcane, citrus, grassy and vegetal with unmistakable alcohol punch. One to try if you enjoy raw cane and unaged rums.

Impressive agricole with fresh cane, citrus, and a bold kick.

    How does this rum taste?

    • un nez absolument incroyable sur la canne
    • vraie Aromenexplosion mit pflanzlichen Noten
    • expressiven Zuckerrohr- und Fruchtaromen

    Longueteau's GENESIS Collection (2015) is a vivid showcase of agricole character, with RumX members repeatedly flagging its intense sugarcane, grassy freshness, and a bold vegetal streak. Citrus and lime vie for attention alongside a characteristic olive note, while the high ABV is alternately described as "très puissant mais avec un nez absolument incroyable" (@Simon Leroux) and surprisingly well integrated for "plus de 70 degrés" (@Sylvain44). Some point to a peppery tingle and a surprising sweetness amid the fiery delivery, though opinions divide sharply on the heat factor and overall drinkability.

    "Comparative tasting with RX890 Nose: as with the RX890, the alcohol is very well integrated and brings a lot of fruit and agricole aromas. The palate is also a little dull but not as much as RX890. This rum also delivers a little more sweetness. In the finish, the spectrum fans out again enormously. Because of the nuance of more sweetness, the 2015 vintage gets one point more from me. Both bottlings are very similar and exemplary examples of what rum matured exclusively in steel tanks can do."

    "RumX Advent Calendar 2024 post-tasting, 17 So, I managed to get the untasted one over with 😂 Sniff test: Agricole Then spiked and did the tasting not blund. Not my profile. I do unaged agricoles in the ti Punch but pure they just don't blow me away."

    "Tag 17 RumX Adventskalender 2024 Tja wie soll man anfangen. Ist schon ein ziemliches Brett, dieser Rum. Ungelagert und Agricole war eigentlich klar, aber bestimmen oder eingrenzen konnte ich ihn nicht. Nach der Auflösung bin ich drauf gekommen, dass ich einen ähnlichen (RX890) bereits probiert hatte. Für mich persönlich schön diesen im Glas gehabt zu haben, aber diese sind pur für mich einfach nichts. Ist mir auch zu alkoholisch gewesen."

    "Tag 17 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Ein großer Vorteil von Rum gegenüber Whisky ist, dass die Rohbrände auch ohne Reifung in Holzfässern von beeindruckender Tiefe und harmonischer Aromenfülle sein können, wie es zum Beispiel dieser Longueteau beweist. Die pflanzliche, grasige Frische des Zuckerrohrs zaubert hier bei einem erfreulich unanstrengendem Mundgefühl nicht nur zahlreiche Fruchtnoten hervor, sondern hat auch das nötige Kräuter-Gewürzrückgrat, um durch das Finale nachhaltig in Erinnerung zu bleiben."
