Le Galion Rhum Martinique grand arôme (1950s)
Highly praised as an unusual, old-school Martinique grand arôme with a fantastic nose, balanced menthol-fruity-molasses profile and well-integrated ABV, only slightly held back by a lighter, shorter finish.
Fans of characterful, slightly funky agricole and grand arôme rums who enjoy menthol, dark fruit and molasses notes without high ABV aggression.

How does this rum taste?
Old-school, menthol-fruity grand arôme
If you enjoy distinctive agricoles or old Demerara-style notes, this bottle gives you that menthol-fruity, molasses twist in a gentler 44% format that still rewards attention.
Those wanting intense cask strength power, very long finishes, or classic sweet-and-vanilla beginner profiles.

Großartig! Alte Schule. Schön ausgewogen, trotz der wenigen Prozente nicht dünn, viel Melasse, fruchtig-grasig mit dunklen, leicht muffigen Guyana-Note.
Ungewöhnlicher Agricole. Geht Richtung Le Galion. Hat eine schöne, schwere Süße.
#4163 A very nice Agricole with a slightly atypical profile. Loved the menthol and floral notes and the ABV was well integrated.
Very round vintage grand arome. Lots of currant, sour cherry, menthol, cinnamon gum, tannins and bitter orange . Yummy! Would love to test in full proof!
