LVMH Cuba Ron S.A. Eminente Confrérie du Rhum x Excellence Rhum (Batch 1)
RumX tasters find this Eminente rich on the nose and interestingly floral, with prominent caramel and vanilla supported by wood and spice. Subtle fruity flashes and a roasted edge make it one to try if you enjoy woodier, spicier Cuban spirits.

Eminente Confrérie du Rhum x Excellence Rhum Batch 1 is a Cuban rum that finds fans for its blend of caramel, vanilla, wood, and subtle fruit, often described as "fruchtig-blumig" by @Gunnar Böhme and with "fragrant spices and a fair bit of peppery heat" (@Rum_Diaries). Several on RumX noted a floral and slightly agricole quality, with touches of citrus, roasted notes, and a light touch of astringency in the finish. Some mention the nose as a highlight—"really lovely" (@Artur Schönhütte)—though opinions differ on complexity and sweetness. Overall, it’s seen as a solid sipper that's full of character, especially for those seeking something different from Cuba.

"The Eminente Millesime 2012 not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them. With its aroma and flavor profile, it offers a fascinating and refreshing alternative to the often monotonous offerings of Cuban rums."
"Beautiful nose. Glue, fresh, green apples, fruity, vanilla and caramel. Fine spice and orange peel. In the mouth a touch woodier, dried fruit and citrus. Good finish. Overall warm, powerful and very balanced. Very drinkable. A positive surprise from Cuba. More of it please!!! At the turntable: Arsenio Rodriguez and Chano Pozo. Thanks to Bonn!"
"So this is how a rum tastes that consists of 100% aguardiente (a first for a Cuban distillate, as far as I know). And indeed: Something comparable I had not yet in the glass. Blind I would not have been able to assign the rum at all. In this first tasting, I focused on finding differences between Batch 1 and Batch 2. And they are indeed there: While Batch 1 gets going right away fruity-floral on the nose, Batch 2 is clearly more timid, more discreet. On the palate, however, it's the other way around: Batch 1 tends to confirm the impression gained on the nose, coming across like a light rum in a summer meadow with a gentle breeze blowing over it. Batch 2 is different: While Batch 1 seems somehow slightly broad, Batch 2 is clearly more astringent and has more depth, more wood and tobacco. At the latter, you could perhaps recognize the Cuban DNA - but also only maybe. Overall, both are solid rums and which one is more palatable, is probably dependent on the day or what weight you attach to the olfactory impression. Because of the interesting transformation from the nose to the palate, Batch 2 is a point ahead for me today. As I said, a very exciting bottling of Excellence Rhum and La Confrérie du Rhum. But if one wanted to dare at least a geographical comparison: Both batches do not yet reach the long-stored consistently exquisite 98s from Sanct Spíritus ((Cuba)."
"Besser als ich dachte. Kein Komplexitätsmonster, aber auch nicht flach. Schöne fruchtige Noten, irgendwie hat er einen Agricole-Touch. Komplexer und intensiver als Batch 2. Nach Info von Benoit: Bourbon Fässer die nochmal Whisky enthalten haben. 100% Aguardiente, also Rum der zu 70% distilliert wird (wie viele Agricoles auch)."
