Carrere Montebello Rhum Vieux Agricole (Batch Année 2022) 2016 6yr 42%

"I’m a big fan of Montebello and I recently bought the 2022 edition of the 3, 6 and 8yo version. The 6 yo can be found as vintage 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2009 but also editions 2021 and 2022. If the latter ones are vintages or not is unsure. It seems like there will be new editions every year now. I don’t now if they differ very much. I’ve tasted the 2003 before, but it’s some years ago. On the older ones the vintage year is written on the backside label, but on the later ones they instead has written the bottling year on the front label. The one I review here is edition 2022, but I’m unsure if it’s really a vintage or not. Overall a very complex, balanced and elegant rum."

"Un rhum comme la Guadeloupe sait les faire. C'est sec, boisé, parfumé, piquant. Un côté pâtissier très plaisant également. En bouche, les 42° sont parfaitement intégrés. C'est pimenté, fruité. Salin presque. Plutôt agréable."

"Very high quality for a good affordable price. Just a bit smoother than the 3 year old"
