Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L‘Or 2001 14yr 64,8%

"Madness! A real killer agricole!"

"Excellent Agricole, tastes slightly better to me than the 2006. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Intoxicating nose to enjoy. Barrel aging they can anyway perfectly in the French Antilles. I just tasted it with the Neisson 15 Ans Batch #2, it is very similar and equally good."

"A rum of which I had high expectations, yet which did not disappoint. Rodolphe told me it was one of his favorite rums. On the nose, a great sweetness, with fruit (pineapple, banana, passion fruit) and vegetal notes. The attack on the palate is smooth, with a beautiful aromatic palette. Everything's in place, it couldn't be better. Incredibly smooth, given the ABV. The finish is long and delicate, with a noble bitterness. A rum that ticks all the boxes. In direct comparison with the 2010, it seems fresher, with more fruit and flowers, but the finish is a little less long and complex."

"Lucky day today, the second absolute top drop in the glass. After tasting Saint James yesterday, this one is already worlds away. Hell yesterday, heaven today. This is probably the closest comparison. Thank you Joachim for opening up the world of Agricole to me once again."

"Une bombe en brut de fut."

"#15th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, coconut, woody, light spicy, honey, pastries Mouth: coconut, citrus, fruity, agricole, earthy, tobacco, nutmeg Finish: long, oak, woody, earthy, delicious, black tea, milk chocolate Wow, this is an amazing agricole. Starts without being an agricole, but in the mouth it’s chancing immediately. The finish is long and delicious and earthy. Really a great rum. It’s an agricole. My prediction: from Martinique, but i’m unsure to pick a distillery. ca. 55% approx. 15 Years"

"This bottler has already bottled very good agricoles; and this one seems to be no exception. On the contrary! Nose: very intense, powerful and full-bodied. Clearly a mature agricole. Beautiful and clear wood acidity, oak and dark fruit, such as blackberry. Fine vanilla and leather with light tobacco. With apple, it also reminds me a little of old Calvados. The almost 65% is still cutting at the beginning, but also draws in a lot of aromas. The nose becomes more and more beautiful. 9,0 Palate: amazing! Intense, complex and full-bodied, powerful and delicious. Again oak and wood acidity, plus salty and spicy, with nutmeg, caraway and clove. Quite bitter at the beginning, but immediately followed by blackberry, sour cherry and bitter orange with lemon peel. There are also roasted nuts such as pecan. Everything is again underpinned by a pleasant acidity, perhaps from blackcurrant. I also have this in the powerful aftertaste, where green twigs and grass are still present. 9,2 A really expressive, complex, intense and yet round Agricole. It's rare to find something like this in a glass."
