Edit : rhum club Lille. chocolat & pamplemousse, groseille. Superbe ! Le coup de cœur de la soirée. Une claque ou une caresse ? Un nez qui m’a quelque part rappelé certains Samaroli, le vieux bois, le moulin à poivre de la grand mère et l’origan. En bouche, c’est doux, onctueux, puis l’explosion d’agrumes, de pamplemousse, d’orange sanguine, sur un lit de poivre et d’épices de cuisine. Ça pétille sur la langue, j’adore ! Est ce qu’il me faudrait pas une 3eme bouteille…? J’en parle à mon banquier de suite.
Auto-translatedMature Fiji rum with a calm, rather dry profile. Dark fruits, tea, some leather and wood on the nose, overall rather restrained. Spicy and slightly tart on the palate with little sweetness, some cocoa and a dry, slightly bitter note on the finish. Not a fruit bomb and nothing playful. Solid, mature and harmonious, but more for lovers of this dry style.
Auto-translatedGreat nose green olive, petroleum, burnt sugar, some esters yellow fruits honeydew melon... Alcohol well integrated. On the palate... Very nice mouthfeel alcohol top integrated... nice sweetness delicious yellow fruits... Fruit esters ... less olive (thank god) mmhhh great Fiji . Laaaaaaaaaaag finish 😁
Auto-translatedJ'ai juste trempé mes lèvres dans ce Fidji lorsque je l'ai ouvert et je me suis dit que ce serait un très beau rhum. Aujourd'hui, je lui donne plus de temps et chaque moment de cette dégustation confirme l'impression initiale. Un nez très boisé avec de jolis fruits compotés et des esters façon Jamaïque. On sent que l'alcool sera présent mais il n'est pas piquant. En bouche, jolie morsure de l'alcool. Puis des épices piquantes. Puis très vite le fruit mûr, beaucoup de légèreté, grosse gourmandise. Avant que le bois ne fasse son effet et asséche le tout. Finale plus sombre et amère. Le fût se rappelle à nous. Un superbe rhum avec une superbe évolution. Hate de voir ce que l'oxydation lui apportera. Superbe sélection et rapport qualité prix difficile à battre ! Edit : un côté très huileux, presque savonneux. Un chocolat au lait bien gourmand. Pas beaucoup d'évolution de la bouteille malgré l'oxydation pour le moment.
