    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers love its rich overripe fruit with the unmistakable clairin character intact. Expect olive and cherry notes, a light medicinal-herbal edge and a subtle smoky veil, with wood that never dominates. Enjoyed in good company, this 6‑year, 54.6% cask strength Le Rocher shows depth without losing freshness. With multiple high scores and only 158 bottles, it’s a distinctive Haitian worth grabbing while you can.

    Dégusté en bonne compagnie sur Paris. Ce vieux Rocher fait la part belle aux fruits surmuris, aux notes typiques du clairin, un gras issu du sirop très satisfaisant en bouche, et un voile fumé. 100% plaisir, c'est vraiment excellent.

    Su questo vieux le rocher avevo tante aspettative sull’invecchiamento perché partendo dalla distillazione dello sciroppo di canna e con la fermentazione simile ai Grand Arome il potenziale poteva essere alto! Al naso ricorda un mix tra clairin bianco e Hampden dove c’è una nota importante di frutti fermentati! Al palato invece mantiene tutti i sapori del clairin con una bella parte di legno che non sovrasta il timbro originale di le rocher! Un rum davvero ben fatto!

    On the nose: That typical medicinal, herbal note you recognice as a Haitian canejuice rum. Also dried fruits, honey. Fresh canejuice notes. Taste: Olives with medicinal and herbal notes upfront. Sweet sugarcane notes come after that. Overripe notes. Then thereis allspice notes in there. Finish: Herbal notes and roasted mouthfeel upfront. Sugarcane notes. Finishes dry. Good rum, but not a "daily driver" for me. I have to visit this rum another time.

    Kein Favorit für mich, aber man muss ihm lassen, dass die Balance zwischen Spiritcharakter und Fasseinfluss hier gut getroffen wurde. Die etwas käsige bzw. Joghurtnote des ungereiften Le Rocher finde ich auch hier. Weird aber ganz spannend, wenngleich mir der neuere Vieux Vaval im direkten Vergleich besser gefällt.
