Velier Carrere Montebello Flora Antillarum 2002 19yr 41,3%
Montebello Flora Antillarum, bottled by Velier, is a limited-edition rum produced at Carrere Distillery in Guadeloupe. Distilled in 2002 from molasses and sugar cane juice using a column still, it aged for 19 years and is bottled at 41.3% ABV. Tasting notes reveal intense aromas of peaches, vanilla, and tea with a hint of demerara sugar. The palate features hay, vanilla, and mandarin, with herbal and woody undertones. Reviews suggest a pleasant olfactory profile, but note a lighter body than expected, questioning the cask strength’s impact. The rum is particularly appreciated for its aromatic complexity, although its pricing and intensity garner mixed feelings.

“A very sweet fruity nose! Almost sherry-like!The palate is, although the rum light and thin comes along, quite intense and complex!Fruit and herbs alternate harmoniously!The finish is then again typical Agricole!A good rum, which would probably have been excellent with higher ABV”

“An old agricultural rum with a very pleasant olfactory profile, oscillating between fruits (tropical, dry and orange), spices, vegetable notes, coffee and caramel, for a very harmonious whole. In the mouth, the rum is very light and sweet, carried by a profile of sweet spices, cinnamon, hazelnuts and almonds, a succinct fruity side and aromas of cappuccino, chocolate, caramel and hay are also felt. The finish is slightly lacking in impact, though citrus, wood, spice, chocolate, and herbal and floral notes come through. A very good rum on paper, but very expensive for the final rendition, which lacks the intensity to be a level above.”
