How does this rum taste?
This Longueteau Single Cask for Les 10 ans de la Maison de l’Hédonisme is driven by nutty notes, wood, dried fruits (especially fig and date), and flashes of citrus. Several RumX voices return to the "nussige Richtung" @Johannes and the clear Cognac cask touch. Users find pear and spice—"épices / poivre en fin de bouche" @TheJackDrop—while others appreciate the "fruit, de l'agricole, de la gourmandise" @Djehey but feel the finish is "assez courte" @Fabulon. The consensus: distinct agricultural roots, Cognac barrel influence, and a lively profile that’s pleasant, if not always thrilling.

To Longueteau
Blend aus 65% red cane / 35% blue cane, gereift in Ex-Cognac- und neuen frz. Eichefässern. An der Nase pflanzliche Noten, Fass, Nougat (röstig-nussig), Feige, säuerliches Obst (Sternfrucht). Am Gaumen kräftig, süß-würzig, Fass, Tannine. Nicht schlecht, aber ich hatte mir bei dem ganzen Aufwand, der hier betrieben wurde, ein bisschen mehr erhofft.
This 4yo Longueteau single cask rum from the Esperance Distillery in Guadeloupe is released to celebrate the companionship with the Maison de l'Hédonisme. It’s made from a blend of two distillates distilled in 2016, 65% Red Cane and 35% Blue Cane. It’s first aged in old cognac barrels and thereafter in new French oak barrels whereafter it’s bottled in 290 bottles. The nose is fruity, woody and sweet with scents of varnish, raspberry, honey, vanilla and some licorice. At the palate it’s fruity and woody with flavors of guava, gooseberry and pastry. The finish is medium long, dry and woody with an acidic flavor.
Typische Agricole Aromen an Nase und Gaumen. Junges Holz, Zitrusfrüchte, getrocknetes Obst, Fasseinfluss (Cognac). Im Abgang komplexer mit bitteren Röstaromen und dunkler Schokolade. Ein guter Agricole, aber absolut unspektakulär. Hatte mir hier wesentlich mehr erhofft.
Dégustation à la mer en plein vent, Pas simple, un jus sympa mais assez typique des vieux agricoles je pense, le cognac ajoute un petit plus sans que ce soit exceptionnel. Il y a quand même de belles notes de noisettes, noix, poire, des épices / poivre en fin de bouche, un bon moment, vif, mais assez éphémère.
