“A rum tasted at the WLP and in Cologne. A warm nose with walnuts, Cementit, old hemp rope and, above all, rapeseed flowers. A fairly lively attack on the palate, with leather, glue and wood, followed by fruit, yellow fruit and apple. A long, elegant finish. A fine rum, all elegance except on the attack.”

“Solid agricole at a high drinking strength. Initially a lot of glue on the nose, then a pleasant blend of spices, chocolate, nougat, wood and subtle vegetal notes. The alcohol remains recognizable on the palate, alongside dried fruit, cherries, lemon, spices, chocolate with a hint of nougat, barrel notes. Nice release, high quality, but it doesn't quite come close to the other Vintage Brut de Fût releases of recent years.”
