    How does this rum taste?

    Le 1802 Monte Cristo is a bold Panamanian rum by Old Brothers, distilled from molasses using a Column Still. With a high 70.1% ABV, it presents a distinct metallic, olive, and vegetal aroma. The palate unfolds with mineral, floral, and green notes, attributed as fresh and unexpected given the proof. While perceived mild by some, others appreciate its complexity, noting a balance of vegetal and floral qualities enhanced with a varied mix of sweet and smoky nuances. Limited to 534 bottles, this rum showcases a unique experience for enthusiasts seeking a robust and challenging spirit, though its intense profile may divide opinions, especially when it comes to its mixing compatibility and resting period which affects its character.

    7.4/10 17 reviews

    Un Ron onctueux avec une palette aromatique plutôt légère et équilibré mais bien étalé. Le rhum est floral, minéral. Il est végétale a la manière d'un pur jus (Foin / Vert / Olive en saumure / Sève), frais et épicée (Agrumes / Gingembre / Réglisse), se qui contraste plutôt bien avec les quelques notes empyreumatique (Acétique / Fumée / Cuir / Caoutchouc / Cuivre / Tourbe).Le sucre est amené par quelques fruits mûrs à l'eau de vie (Poir / Abricot (sec) / Pruneaux) ainsi que quelques fruits exotiques grillé (Ananas / Mangue). Ce Ron est aromatiquement intéressant et agréable a boire.

    This one will split waters. If you don't rest it it'll definitely will bite you in more ways than you'd expect. Once well rested it's a very fresh profile with some nice floral notes and light fruit. I tried it in a Coca Cola as well and it does really well in that mix.

    Viel Power, Hefe, etwas Frucht, Alkohol für die heftigen Prozente gut eingebunden.

    Très vert et métallique. Produit des effets contrastés dans un registre aigre-doux.
