"Wow, was für eine Nase - fast schon wie Parfum. Süße Orangen, floral und elegant. Am Gaumen vielschichtig und extrem cremig. Der überraschend dezente Holzeinfluss unterstreicht perfekt die intensive Fruchtigkeit des 50 Jahre alten Rums. Ein süßer Abgang zum verlieben. Ausgezeichnet! Für eine Top-Bewertung im Abgang etwas zu biestig (auf hohem Niveau natürlich)."

"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."

"Absolut eindrückliches Destillat. Die ganze Reihe von Rum House macht mega Spass. Hier macht man nichts falsch. Wäre die Abfüllung aus dem Hause V. würde das ganze doppelt und 3x so viel kosten und längst vergriffen."

"While starting off as the weakest nose by some margin, breathing for a very long time opens the profile up nicely. Less fruity and with a hint overripe/musty notes still somewhat an outlier in the line-up yet interesting. On the palate it can’t fully compete in terms of complexity and intensity, unfortunately. Still, this is very very nice and should be a delight if tasted standalone without its ever better brothers. Cheers Jakob for the set!"
