Highly praised, world‑class old Courcelles: perfume-like nose, creamy floral-fruity palate, great balance and elegance with well-integrated alcohol. A legendary, contemplative sipper when enjoyed on its own.
Seasoned enthusiasts and whisky crossover drinkers who enjoy complex, elegant, floral-fruity profiles with cherry, orange, vanilla and caramel rather than heavy funk or sugar sweetness.

Perfumed, elegant old Courcelles masterpiece
If you enjoy refined, long-aged spirits like mature agricoles or old Demeraras, this Courcelles will likely hit the spot with its perfume-like nose and creamy, layered fruit-caramel profile.
Beginners sensitive to 54% ABV, those who dislike perfumy/floral aromas, or drinkers expecting strong oak bitterness and heavy tannins from very old rums.

The new version (2022) of Courcelles 1972 from Swiss bottler Rhum House. It's 50 years old! The nose is fresh and delicate, with salted butter caramel, wild cherry and light tar. The palate entry is surprisingly smooth considering the ABV. The aromas develop harmoniously, yet become stronger, with herbs first, then bitter cherries and, like "Carambar", a stick of salted butter toffee. The finish is fruity, long and refined, gourmand. In the empty glass, all the aromas blend harmoniously. The palate is even more beautiful than the nose. A mysterious rum that reveals itself bit by bit, so take your time.
04.03.2023 Had a nice day with friends and old colleagues. I had the opportunity to taste a few very good whiskies at the event. Just like the other Courcelles I have tried, this one is also very smooth and elegant. Fruity with nice floral/flowery notes. The spices and caramel blend pretty well as does the roasted wood notes. The palate is oily and has a nice light coffee note. The finish is medium to long with a very light smoky note.
Courcelles rhums are simply in a class of their own...and this one proves it once again...the nose alone is so beguiling that you can enjoy it for hours. This floral and fruity blend is unique. A beautiful blend of fruit, barrel and light floral notes on the palate. The finish alternates with the familiar aromas plus a slight spiciness... Great
