Carrere Montebello Le brut de fût 8 ans 2014
Most praise the rich, honeyed sugarcane, pastry spices and great nose. Critics find the palate unbalanced, a bit bitter or flat. Consensus: gourmand, easy-drinking agricole, not the most refined.
Agricole drinkers who enjoy sweeter, pastry-like profiles with honeyed sugarcane, brioche and spice, and who want an approachable cask-strength Guadeloupe rum for relaxed sipping or dessert pairing.

How does this rum taste?
Sweet, pastry-like agricole with quirks
If you like gourmand agricoles like softer Reimonenq or sweeter Bielle but want more wood and pastry spice, this Montebello will likely hit the spot despite its quirks.
Purists chasing razor-sharp, very dry agricoles, or anyone sensitive to vegetal notes, light bitterness on the finish, or looking for maximum intensity at cask strength.

Des notes de fruits mûres et d’amandes ! Un rhum rond et satisfaisant ! Manque légèrement de puissance!
Pleasant nose, but too much citrus on the palate. I liked the 10-year-old much better. No finesse. Not worth the price.
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. Tasted this next to the Bielle 2016. Very different. Creamy. More woody.
Nose still quite good, disappointing on the palate.
