How does this rum taste?
Dry, fresh cane with citrus bite
If you like traditional Depaz/Bally-style 55% blancs, this will feel familiar: clean, dry cane with citrus and spice, more about precision and ti-punch utility than originality.
Beginners sensitive to 55% ABV or drinkers seeking sweet, round, heavily fruited rums; also anyone looking for a very distinctive or experimental profile.
On the palate it is very smooth and powerful at the same time, as the rhum has a very oily texture on the palate. Vegetal notes of sugar cane are very well balanced with fruitier, spicier and even a few bitter notes. The finish is soft and round, with a hint of spice and very subtle metallic flavors. Some sweetness remains on the tongue at the end.

The nose is magnificent with citrus, custard, vegetables, sweet cane, flowers, some ripe fruit and a moist note. The palate is warmer with pepper, custard, citrus, vegetables (green peppers), chamomile, green tea, a hint of lychee and in the slightly earthy finish also some roasted hazelnuts. Good body and persistence in a dry and sweet mix. Reminds me a bit of Montebello Winch. In the empty glass cream, citrus and earthiness
Grassy fresh with soft citrus notes on the nose. The taste mixes tangerine (sweet) and lime. The finish complements indefinable herbs and fresh earth on which sugar cane was beaten.
Tres reussi, le meilleur parmi les noveautés en matiere de blancs. Un peu de caoutchuc dans le profil, pas mal de reglisse, vraiment tres bon mais pas a la hauteur a ses freres ainés tant que bally 55% ou depaz 55%. Mais tres agreable quand meme.
La forme plus intense du Braud & Quennesson classique. Les arômes floraux, d’herbes et de canne à sucre dominent au nez, accompagnés d’agrumes (citron vert notamment) et de notes poivrées. On perd l’onctuosité du premier rhum pour gagner en puissance sur cette seconde cuvée. L’attaque en bouche est aussi plus vive, épicée et moins fruitée. Le citron vert, le poivre et la canne à sucre reviennent pour donner du corps à ce profil floral, herbeux et terreux. L’alcool est plus marqué mais il reste globalement bien intégré. La longueur en bouche est moyenne, portée par les saveurs agricoles (végétales, florales), une chaleur épicée (piment) et une touche fruitée qui apporte une légère gourmandise à l’ensemble. Un rhum bien plus sec que son prédécesseur, mais qui étanchera la soif des adeptes de rhum blanc sans problème.
