Le Galion Flensburg Rum Company Le Galion
Most enjoy its funky olive-citrus nose and dry agricole edge. Critics find it thin, sweaty and challenging. Consensus: an interesting, characterful but polarising Le Galion for agricole fans.
Fans of funky agricoles and high-ester profiles who enjoy olives, citrus and a medicinal, dry finish, and don’t mind some rough edges at 62.9% ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Funky, olive-driven agricole for experienced palates
If you like funky agricoles like Neisson or edgier Jamaicans, this Le Galion rewards you with olives, citrus and medicinal notes, but it will feel harsh if you prefer smooth sweetness.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or who dislike sweaty/medicinal, olive-driven funk and prefer sweeter, softer rums.

#5846 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. This was the best of the new FRC releases. A nice rum with light ester, olives, citrus and a light smoky touch. There is also a hint of vegetal and medicinal notes in the profile.
Beim kurzen Sampletausch mit DomM die letzten paar Tropfen aus der Flasche probiert. Für mich eine positive Überraschung. Hatte mir nicht viel von dieser Abfüllung erwartet. Wäre schön wenn ein wenig mehr für mich geblieben wäre, hätte den gerne als Mixer ausprobiert.
Dünn und der Geruch von Umkleidekabine oder wie meine Frau sagt „Kinderfüssen“. Hier bin ich gar nicht wirklich warm geworden. Schwächste Abfüllung dieser Serie und eines der enttäuschenden Releases der Whisky Live 2025 in Hamburg
Very intense and funky both on the nose and palate.
