Rhum House Domaine de Courcelles Rhum Vieux Édition 2022
Expect a perfumed nose of caramel, vanilla, cherry, and floral notes, leading to a buttery, fruity palate with well-integrated alcohol. Community tasters call it 'elegant nose, cherry, frutal spectrum, balanced and butterly on palate' (Adrianv), praising its creamy texture and harmonious blending of flavors, especially the interplay of fruit, floral, and caramel. Many highlight its sophistication and approachability—'very smooth and elegant...fruit with nice floral/flowery notes' (Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰)—while common critiques mention a shorter finish and less complexity or woodiness compared to some peers. If you're drawn to vibrant fruit, creamy sweetness, and gentle florals, this could easily become a new favorite in your collection.

"Wow, what a nose - almost like perfume. Sweet oranges, floral and elegant. Complex and extremely creamy on the palate. The surprisingly subtle wood influence perfectly underlines the intense fruitiness of the 50-year-old rum. A sweet finish to fall in love with. Excellent! A little too beastly in the finish for a top rating (at a high level, of course)."
"Absolut eindrückliches Destillat mit reifer, vielschichtiger Aromatik und klarer Handschrift. Die gesamte Reihe von Rum House überzeugt mit Charakter und Tiefe, und auch diese Abfüllung macht viel Freude. Im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden 1972er Courcelles etwas zurückhaltender, aber dennoch auf hohem Niveau und stilistisch sehr gelungen."
"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."
"Wow! I dont believe this rum was made just original way. The taste of oranges is so intense, that you think you taste sirup (not sweet). Wow again. I have already bought 10 bottles for myself next 15 for my friends. It is worth of it :)"
