How does this rum taste?
Takamaka St. André 8 Years Old Rum, distilled at Seychelles' Trois Frères Distillery from sugarcane juice, offers a mixed sensory experience. Users note a promising aroma with woody, dried fruit, and vanilla notes complemented by a sweet, spicy palate. While opinions on taste vary, it is generally described as easy to sip but lacking depth, often deemed best for mixology rather than standalone enjoyment. The rum presents mild complexities with hints of spice and a pleasant woodiness but falls short in terms of impressive finish and integration of flavors. This 40% ABV rum presents an affordable introduction to Seychelles' rum, appreciated for its simplicity and versatility in cocktails.

This rum from the Seychelles is made from sugar cane juice, but they don’t call it Agricole cause they say that their methods are different. I think that the best thing about this rum is the aroma which is very nice, in the mouth it’s then quite bland but easy to drink.
Un rhum décevant. Le nez semble prometteur avec des notes de colle, de fruits, d’épices et de bois, avant de tomber complètement dans l’oubli une fois en bouche. Très fade et évasif en bouche, on pourrait s’y méprendre à boire de l’eau caramélisée. La finale, tout aussi peu mémorable, ne laisse pratiquement rien percevoir.
Hatte bei diesem Rum eigentlich mit nichts Gutem gerechnet, aber völlig überraschend hat er gut gemundet. Eine leichte Süsse und Vanillenote, da habe ich echt nicht mit gerechnet. Bin zufrieden für einen eher billigen Rum.
Da kann ich den bisherigen Bewertungen nicht ganz zustimmen. Zwar ist er sicherlich keine Offenbarung und wahrlich auch kein Preis-Leistungskracher, aber trotzdem hat er was. Leichte Kaffenoten, sauer auf der Zunge, relativ holzig und würzig (nicht unangenehm) - man findet einiges. Definitiv ok(+)
