    "The nose is very closed. The alcohol is a little too present on the nose for me, accompanied by herbs, a little wood, malt and licorice. The palate lacks intensity. I perceive some herbs, malt, wood and spices here."

    "J'adore ce rum de mélasse. Le nez est dominé par l'odeur enivrante du jacquier, le jackfruit endémique de Mayotte. Il dégage une odeur pestilentielle très agréable. Le fruit est tombé de l'arbre depuis quelques jours. Je pourrais rester sur le nez des heures les yeux fermés, cela me rappelle mes randonnées mahoraises dans le sud de l'île, de plage en plage. On a aussi du corossol, carambole, jamblon (non pas jambon, jamblon est une espèce de cerise locale), jujube,... Vient ensuite en arrière plan quelques fleurs de pays, comme au jardin botanique de Saint Denis de la Réunion. 88/100 En bouche, l'alcool est vif. Mais vient ensuite les mêmes marqueurs qu'au nez, un melting-pot de fruits exotiques bien mûrs à pourris. Un boisé légèrement mouillé accompagne ces fruits. Astringence agréable. Un peu de vanille au caramel lui apporte une relative douceur. 84/100 Après plus d'un an et demi d'ouverture, les senteurs sont toujours aussi présentes et la morsure de l'alcool tend à se dissiper un peu (un de ses défauts). Le verre vide le lendemain matin est encore très expressif. PS : Rum clivant certes, mais qui donnera un grand sentiment de satisfaction à qui saura le dompter."
