    Heute geht es los mit einem Manutea aus der Südsee Insel. In der Nase bereits sehr viel Ester riecht aber auch sehr frisch auch einige Früchte sind zu erkennen. Im Geschmack sehr bekömmlich, auch Ester und Früchte.

    #5175 28.03.2025 Running through some samples at home. Nose Fresh, medium intense, light olive, citrus, faint mineral, light anise, sugarcane. Palate Warm, medium spicy, fruits, citrus, sugarcane, anise, light floral, licorice. Finish Long, faint smoke, fruits, citrus, light pineapple, light licorice, light floral, light spicy. Empty glass Licorice, citrus, light nutts.

    Une belle curiosité ! Nez: Étrange et inhabituel pour un habitué des agricoles de Martinique et Guadeloupe. Ressemble à de l'eau de vie de réglisse, un peu iodé. Bouche très grasse et autant de réglisse. Longueur, faut que je regoute... Édit 2025 goûté en aveugle, je passe de 7.4 à un bon 8 et l'aveugle me permet de reconnaître sans hésiter un rhum d'alambics sans reconnaître le Manutea puisqu'il est affiché comme un rhum de colonne ! En reprenant l'étiquette cela confirme l'alambic, je vous résume : " Canne rouge O'Tahiti de Tahaa, le vesou obtenu sans addition d'eau est amené par goélette à Moorea où il est distillé en Alambic puis maturé 3 mois et réduit à l'eau de source du Mont Rotui". Pour cette évaluation en aveugle : Très bon nez caractéristique de l'alambic avec ses notes cuivrées métalliques, une force tranquille et déjà des notes de réglisse. La bouche est sur les mêmes tons, grasse et douce avec une petite chauffe bien agréable car elle reste grasse, c'est loin d'être un défaut d'intégration. La longueur est moyenne et ne dénote pas. Un super blanc à faire découvrir, un alambic quoi... Pas du niveau de La Perle A1710 mais de la même génétique. Il lui manque sûrement un peu de complexité pour être encore mieux noté.

    Licorice sticks in liquid and brutally intense! how is that possible?!! personally, I'm not a fan of licorice at all, but it's kind of crazy😅 in the daiquiri, the licorice note also remains brutally dominant, but is flattered by light vanilla and coconut/banana and bitter orange notes. Cool and very unusual stuff 😅🕺
