    How does this rum taste?

    Louis & Charles - Rhum vieux édition spéciale is a refined rum from the Isautier distillery in Reunion, aged between 14 to 22 years. It offers a complex aroma featuring caramel, wood, and vanilla, with hints of dried fruit and tobacco. The palate reveals grassy, vegetal notes blended with caramel and toffee, underscored by sugarcane sweetness. Appreciated for its agricole characteristics, this rum combines both molasses and sugarcane juice. While it presents a pleasant nose, some users find it lacking in depth and vibrancy, with a prominence of grassy and vegetal flavors. The lasting, woody finish reflects its agricultural roots. Despite some critiques, its age and affordability offer good value for enthusiasts.

    Pleasant and syrupy it lacks a little watt but makes up for it with a nice complexity and a beautiful length. Perfect companion with a Cigar Vegafina line 1998.

    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.

    Goûté au RhumFest donc dégustation incomplète... Plus abouti que la gamme classique, le côté agricole l'emporte avec du fruit sec et des épices douces. L'ensemble est assez gourmand mais cela manque de caractère pour passer au niveau supérieur.

    #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.
