How does this rum taste?
Most praise its complex vegetal–olive profile, balanced fruit and well-integrated 57%. Critics find the finish a bit rough or not bottle-worthy. Consensus: characterful, versatile Grand Arôme, great for cocktails and neat.
If you enjoy Haitian clairin, Savanna or Rum-Bar Overproof, this is a slightly tamer but still characterful Grand Arôme that gives you funk, olive brine and florals without becoming unhinged.
Newcomers to rum or drinkers who dislike vegetal, salty olive notes and higher‑proof spirits; anyone looking for an easy, sweet, low‑impact pour.

It reminds me a lot of Haitian Clairin. A kind of oily saltiness. A lot of scent. It's got a nice sweet cane, fruit. There's a saltiness, a smokiness on the finish. I recommend all ten to try it.
Now this is some crazy stuff! 😄
Floral and mineral, salty through to olive brine. Slightly bacony and with a hint of menthol on the nose. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, and indeed: strawberry. Completely new and wild for me, and really impressive. Extremely mild for its 57%. A hint of the salty olive resonates, which only makes it more exciting. Should make a fantastic daiquiri.
Classic Le Galion Grand Arôme profile, but here without too extreme excesses. Aromatically complex bottling designed for use at the bar, but also neat in the glass.
