The Louis & Charles - Rhum vieux édition spéciale is an intriguing blend of molasses and sugar cane juice, aged between 14 to 22 years at Isautier distillery, Reunion. Distilled in a column still, it contains an ABV of 45%. Users describe it as having a predominantly agricole character, with aromas of caramel, wood, and vanilla, and flavors of caramel, grass, and woody toffee.

"#4006 This one has more complexity to it than the 10 year old release. Lovely fruits mixed with roasted wood and spices. I like the caramel note in the profile. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is lovely. Price to quality is so good that I ordered a bottle."

"A blend of agricultural and molasses rum, with the scent of cane juice being instantly felt. The floral, woody and spicy notes take over, leaving only a slight fruity nuance. On the palate, the fruit has completely disappeared and the typical agricultural notes cover the whole mouth. Grassy and vegetal notes mingle with toasty aromas and nuts. It's dry but quite light with the 45%. The whole is easy to drink but remains quite classic, without bringing incredible depth or complexity.The finish is slightly reminiscent of dried fruits and quite fresh and spicy agricultural notes. A blend with strong agricultural dominance, unfortunately dull and monotonous for what was expected. The quality / price ratio is average, rather good for the age account but not extraordinary for the perceived aromas."

"Dégusté en sample de 3cl. Nez: liqueur à l'orange, orangette chocolat noir, un peu de colle à l'acétone, des fruits confits (orange, mangue), un peu de salinité, un peu d'amertume, des épices douces (cannelle), il s'ouvre aussi sur une pointe de fraicheur. Puis, du caramel fondu fait son apparition avec son sel, le nez s'adoucit et devient plus gourmand. Le boisé n'est pas en reste avec une cire subtile appliquée sur un meuble ancien. Bouche: beaucoup de liqueur à l'orange mais aussi de la clémentine, une belle texture, un alcool un peu trop présent pour une réduction à 45%. Toujours ce joli boisé en rétro-olfaction mais pas aussi fin qu'au nez qui évolue vers un coté jeune bally avec pas mal d'épices et de la colle à bois. la bouche en retrait par rapport au nez. Finale moyenne et monolithique sur un coté torréfié et boisé."
