    How does this rum taste?

    • Distinct wine aroma
    • Smooth easy-drinking texture
    • Subtle cognac influence

    The Chamarel Gold Rum is a distinguished product from Mauritius, created with sugar cane juice through a column still distillation process at 42% ABV. Noted for its lovely wine and lemon peel aroma, the palate reveals spicy, sweet, and vegetal notes with an alcoholic finish. While some find it can lack complexity with a short, aqueous finish, others enjoy its smooth, easy-drinking character. The rum’s composition also includes subtle influences from cognac, though it might not suit everyone’s taste due to its limited depth and quick disappearance on the palate. RumX users praise its agricultural essence but offer mixed reviews, suggesting limited appeal with particular tasting preferences.

    "Pas sûr que j'ai la même bouteille puisque la mienne titre à 41°. Un ESB agricole. De la canne. Du citron au nez. En bouche, on sent bien la jeunesse. La canne toujours. Une douce eau de vie de fruit. De l'agrume. Du poivre. Finale courte sur la canne et une impression de vin. Franchement pas mauvais. Dommage qu'une sensation aqueuse gâche un peu la sensation. Réduction trop violente pour moi."

    "I tried it today at the distillery at Chamarel after a short tour. The distillery has a seasonal break now and will resume operation during the sugar cane harvest around August. The sugar cane is grown by the distillery, they use both green and red types. Distillery owns a column and a pot still. This one was second in line, the short aging left it with smoothness but also a bit less character. Quite spicy, simple, some cognac influence."

    "Not great not terrible. Taste and smell of home made booze. Spicy as well. This is surely not my cup of coffee, I mean rum. Agricole. One shot is perfectly enough for me. It was brought by a friend straight from his visit of mauritius."
