“Unexpectedly unique, intense alcohol, fruity hints.”

Zodiac Taureau Grand Arôme is a cask-strength rum from Reunion's Savanna distillery, selected by Famille Ricci. Distilled in 2017, this rum unexpectedly diverges from the typical 'Grand Arôme' profile anticipated by its label. While it presents a strong alcoholic presence and fruity notes on the palate, some users found it reminiscent of a high-proof fruit brandy rather than true 'Grand Arôme' character. Limited to 380 bottles, it offers hints of woody and smoky aromas with pineapple and overripe fruit nuances. This rum garners mixed feedback due to its intense alcohol and unique aroma, making it a conversation piece among rum enthusiasts.

“The label promises Grand Arôme from Réunion. Neither nose nor palate have much to do with it, however, blind I would rather be with a high-proof, but little aromatic fruit brandy. Makes me little fun, I'm sorry.”

“Strange. The label says Grand Arome from Reunion. But there is definitely no Grand Arome in the bottle. A fairly neutral column-style rum with light chocolaty barrel notes.”

“A blend like Ricci knows how to make, with two origins that respond well to each other without one overshadowing the other. Here we have a rather young Hampden with lots of very ripe fruit, accompanied by a more earthy TDL that should bring woodiness and roundness. A pleasure.”

“Weak robe. Lacks intensity. Nose with a lot of alcohol, lacking complexity. Strong attack but driven by the alcohol again, with hints of residual sugar. Some unpleasant bitterness. Long finale, not bad, but of honeyed pineapple. Overall not amazing and honestly, disappointing”

“I didn't perceive much on the nose, mostly alcohol and little room for aromas. On the palate, the alcohol is very strong and masks a lot. I detect a little honey. Medium finish, as expected given the alcohol content, but still mostly alcohol for me. I tried to cut a little with water to lighten the alcohol, but to no avail; the glass became very flat. I'm very disappointed compared with my expectations of a "big aroma" and rather glad I only had a sample.”

“I liked this savanna, but the label says great aroma but it doesn't taste like it.”

“A great, singular aroma that stands out from the classic markers, yet has a lovely texture and a very pleasant aroma.”
