Chamarel Gold
Most enjoy its easy, dessert-like character and winey, fruity nose. Critics find it thin, short and a bit boring. Consensus: uncomplicated, drinkable starter agricole-style rum, not a flavor bomb.
Those new to cane-juice rums who want a soft, slightly winey and sweet profile that goes down easily neat or in simple highballs without overwhelming the palate.

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.
