Trois Rivières 12 Years - Carafe 12yr 42%

"A Trois Rivières slightly more aromatic than the 1999 vintage. Earthy tobacco notes mingle with the sugarcane, dried fruit and sweet spices on the nose. The palate is suave, bordered by spices and caramel, the latter bringing a great deal of sweetness to the juice. The finish doesn't really bring out any additional aromas, but is relatively long and faithful to the structure on the nose and palate. It's not the most complex of the Trois Rivières, but it's a cut above some of the more "prestigious" cuvées on paper."

"When looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A well balanced rum with nice fruits and spices. The wood is well balanced with the caramel and earthy notes. The empty glass has some sugarcane and apple."

"Ressemble beaucoup à son homologue le 1999, il s'en rapproche beaucoup (et est sûrement moins cher) car il est bien marqué par son élevage en fût de Bourbon. C'est un beau produit mais je lui préfère d'autres agricoles que j'ai pu gouter sur le salon dans la meme gamme. (Après, c'est de la dégustation rapide dans un lieu pas ideal non plus, il faudrait le comparer avec le 99 dans de meilleures conditions)"

"The nose is full-bodied and perfumed, with slightly unripe red fruits, dark wood, a bit of tobacco, and at the back even something like coffee and milk chocolate. On the palate the red fruits(especially black cherry and raspberry) blend with an intense and full-bodied woodiness, at times pungent, and extremely delicious. The finish also adds some tobacco, apple, round spices and a slightly earthy hint. It seems to have +50°. It leaves the mouth flavored with a woody, corky aftertaste for more than half an hour after finishing drinking. Very good contrast between the sweetness of the Bourbon cask and the dryness of the wood, fully reflecting the 3R profile that I personally love. It seems the 2006CS more diluted and less complex. In the empty glass wood, slight roast, tobacco. Fluctuates between 9.1 and 9.2"

"Un de mes rhums préféré. Un rapport qualité prix au top. Le nez vous emporte dans le bois et les épices bien rondes. La bouche est boisée, du tabac et des épices, un peu fruitée aussi, un agricole tout en rondeur et très flatteur. Un finale moyenne mais très agréable cependant. Trois rivières signe un rhum qui vaut bien plus son prix que nombre de rhums trop sur côtés. Je vous le recommande vivement."

"Un nez élégant où se mélangent fruits, épices et bois."
