How does this rum taste?
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.

I'm not sure I have the same bottle, since mine is 41°. An agricultural ESB. Cane. Lemon on the nose. On the palate, you can feel the youth. Still cane. A sweet fruit brandy. Citrus fruit. Pepper. Short finish on cane and a wine impression. Definitely not bad. Too bad a watery sensation spoils it a bit. Too violent a reduction for me.
Oh well, clear vinegar here too. It runs through all Chamarel.
Rhum Club de Lille, soirée 1 : super simple à boire, frais; gourmand pâtissier ! Le choux à la crème comme dirait Benjamin. Du caramel, de la vanille, un peu de canne (malgré le fait que ce soit de la mélasse), et je reste sur cette super impression de cannelé bordelais.
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.
