“Not a bad rum but I would have loved a higher ABV.”

“Very gourmand on the nose, with notes of vanilla, cane and wood. Sweet and engaging. On the first palate, the promises of the nose remain, with some dried fruit. Then a discreet bitterness intrudes on the finish. The sensation is balanced by a lively, spicy edge. Caramel. Slightly roasted notes. Wood and vanilla. A rather pleasant agricultural experience. Edit: still lacks punch. The significant reduction leaves a watery sensation. On an early line-up, it's still very pleasant.”

“The best rhum that I have tasted so far on Mauritius. Unfortunately, hardly to be found here, since largely displaced by the (m. E. not quite as good) Special Edition 2022 6y with 45%. Didn't think a sugarcane juice chamarel would outshine a molasses New Grove on my palate, but it was the case. Very pleasant, surprisingly deep rhum. With a few percent more it could have been the rage, but even so it would leave standard rum drinkers beady eyed.”
