Rhum Rhum Libération Integrale 2017

An incredible Agricole that you do not recognize as such. Only late in the finish come subtle note of Agricole. Has a very complex nose of leather, tobacco to tropical fruits like bananas papaya over spices and woods. Taste-wise it has a lot to offer. You should give it a lot of attention, then you can taste out so much. Its 58.4% alcohol by volume is pretty darn well integrated. A world class glory.

RumX-Adventskalender 25.12.2023 Blind tasting: Jamaica on the nose, really old Guyana on the palate. Another blend? I'm at a bit of a loss. But very happy with this rum, it's a lip-smacker! 😋 😋 😋 The fact that it's a Bielle in the end doesn't speak against my sense of taste, but in favor of these exquisite agricoles.

I am a fan of connecting rods and again it did not disappoint!!! Thanks to Kevin for sharing this great bottle!

RumX Adventskalender Nr. 25: Klasse Agricole zum Abschluss des Adventskalenders. Super Auswahl und empfehlenswert.

RumX Calendar 2023: Wow. You have to come up with Agricole first. The sugar cane is hidden behind a lot of cocoa, so I'm wavering between milk and dark chocolate. Some citrus fruit on the palate, otherwise spicy-floral elements set the tone here. Nicely roasted with a hint of leather, slight bitterness without being distracting. Could really be located in Guyana. Alcohol is also well integrated. Great.

RumX Calendar Day 26 Bonus Sample What a more than worthy conclusion. Thanks again to the organizing team. All I can say about the rum itself is that it was extremely tasty and dangerously drinkable. Edit: after tasting the RX314 yesterday, I have to say that unfortunately it doesn't quite come close to the RX314

Very interesting agricole which is quite different from what we usually see. Nose is rather dry with wood, spices but also some fruits. Palate is more round with salted caramel, vanilla and overriped fruits. A very good rum !

Sehr fruchtig in der Nase. Ergänzt um etwas Leder, Schokolade und leicht grasig. Riecht sehr frisch. Geschmacklich ebenfalls sehr frisch und leicht. Eine leichte Süße kommt zur Geltung mit Noten von Vanille, Schokolade und salted Karamell. Sehr guter Rum Agricole.

Integral tasting 2024: Insane compared to the 2017 with 45%. Already more dominant on the nose, then a quantum leap on the tongue. The alcohol is really perfectly integrated. The 8.8 remains.

RX calendar 24 bonus Quite relaxed and enjoyable. You wouldn't guess the voltage as it's so well integrated. Very fruity, some sulphur notes at first, cocoa last. Maybe not the most intense or complex but great.

Rhum Rhum is always a great choice. This 2017 is maybe less intense than 2010/2012 but still is a great dram with the liberation DNA, with that chocolate truffle / praline note on the nose that is amazing to me

Calendar #25 (Bonus / blind Würzig, Vanille, Holz, Creme brûlée, Röstramomen (geröstete Mandeln). All das auch am Gaumen. Süffig trifft es gut, der Alkohol ist kaum spürbar. Im Abgang eher kurz aber insgesamt sehr stimmig. Ein gefährlicher daily Sipper. Wenn der Preis stimmt wäre das definitiv ein Kandidat für die nächste MoM-Bestellung :smiley: Also der Vollständigkeit halber: Foursqare, ca. 48%, 14 Jahre +-.

L'excellence de Marie Galante. Complexité et élégance tiennent les promesses à la hauteur de sa réputation. Belle finale plus végétale voir herbacée. Un régal ! 😋😋

Rum pro pokročilé. Vůně a chuť se od sebe dost odlišují, ve vůni mě trochu rozptyluje síra (?). Chuť je velmi komplexní a je v ní jak kůže, tak čokoláda a cukrová třtina. Doporučuju ochutnat.

RumX Adventskalender 25.12.23: In der Nase empfängt eine hohe Intensität, die für mich am ehesten in Richtung Jamaika, insbesondere Long Pond, geht. Am Gaumen gestaltet sich die Sache schwieriger, der Rum ist weniger intensiv (wenngleich immer noch intensiv genug). Das Profil ist schön rund und ausbalanciert, es fehlen jedoch ganz charakteristische Marker. Ganz am Ende kommt eine Note hinzu, die fast an alte Agricoles denken lässt, in Summe würde ich aber trotzdem von einem Rum britischen Stils ausgehen. Mangels besserer Ideen würde ich auf Long Pond, low-ester, gute 60%, mindestens 15 Jahre tippen, bin mir heute aber einigermaßen unsicher.
