Velier Carrere Montebello Flora Antillarum 2002

Another rare bottle and I didn't get one and the sample had to suffice. A lovely rum with nice balance and intensity. I like the wood and spices mixed with the light fruit and other notes.

Für mich der beste Rum aus der Serie, auch wenn er leider ein bisschen dünn wirkt.

Hammer Nase direkt nach dem Einschenken, sehr ähnlich zu Courcelles 72. Dann am Gaumen leider wie erwartet bei den niedrigen ABV zu dünn und auch etwas zu bitter. Trotzdem eine interessante und leckere Abfüllung.

A good expression of montebello!Very rich and fruity but I would have liked to hear it with more degrees.The yield would have been better!

Honig und Kräuter. Sehr entspannt zu trinken, trotz des niedrigen ABV fehlt es aber nicht an Geschmack.

Becomes a bit too sweet and sour for me overall, which I attribute to the dilution of the original distillate. Initially with beautiful complexity of fruits, honey, nougat and spices - but at the back just too thin and almost watered down, which gives the citrus fruits in the interplay with the sweetness too much weight. Too bad, because for me the assumption remains that more would have been possible here with more ABV also taste.

Au nez, agrumes (mandarine), bois, vanille, floral, tabac. En bouche, très léger (un peu trop à mon goût) on retrouve les mêmes arômes qu’au nez. Finale sympa par contre bien plus prenante que la bouche. Portée sur les agrumes et le bois. Sur la fin de la finale j’ai le tabac qui ressort pas mal. Sympa mais vaut pas du tout son tarif et c’est assez linéaire dans les arômes.

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.

very nice balanced nose. To me come dried flowers, peach, candied fruit, fresh herbs. On the palate, toasty, herbs, barrel, mocha. Unfortunately also noticeably watery. Too bad, because so it does not quite come close to the two Velier Basseterres.

Etwas dünn und etwas zu holzig für meinen Geschmack.

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

Nase ist unfassbar intensiv und fruchtig geil. Geschmacklich dann sehr trocken und holzig, sowie nach Heu und grüntee... Überzeugt mich nicht endgültig. Mir etwas zu bitter, säuerlich dünn und holzig
