How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy the fresh woody, floral agricole profile and solid structure, while many are disturbed by dominant soap/perfume notes. Consensus: interesting, polarizing rum, better as a niche sipper than a crowd‑pleaser.
If you already like floral, slightly quirky agricoles, this is worth a try—but if soap or perfume have bothered you in other rums, this bottle will likely push that button hard.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to soap/perfume flavors, or drinkers seeking sweet, easygoing rums without challenging herbal and woody edges.

Tasted at a private tasting for a good cause. This was the last of the 10 Velier vintages. All very different and good. This was obviously the youngest. More young wood/virgin/US oaky than the others. Some of us really loved this one in contrast to the older ones. This was not the best but still a very good agricole rhum. Pretty woody but still fresh. Pretty floral/lavenderish. A bit "soapy" at times.
Le nez est correct mais en bouche un goût très particulier. L’impression de boire du parfum, j’ai lu goût de savon, y’a de ça. Peut peut-être un soucis sur mon échantillon mais pour moi limite buvable.
Very nice young Rhum. Really like this vintage, more than 2014
Étonnant, goûté en 1er sur le calendrier de l'avent et ça commence fort, je lui trouve plutot une grosse dominante d'herbe fraiche autant au nez que en bouche. Une finale vraiment tres longue et toujours sur ce même parfum de fraicheur, ou bois frais et jeune pourquoi pas. Très étonnant en tous cas par rapport à ce que je connais, même si ce n'est pas dans mes goûts. Je suis content de connaître mais surtout de ne pas avoir la bouteille.
