"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)."
"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."
"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!"
"Absolutely impressive distillate. The whole Rum House range is great fun. You can't go wrong here. If the bottling were from V., the whole thing would cost twice and three times as much and be long out of stock."
