Chamarel XO

Most enjoy its smooth vanilla-wood profile and easy sweetness. Critics miss agricole bite, complexity and punch. Consensus: a well-made, approachable XO, better for relaxed sipping than deep tasting.

    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.

    Auch echt okay dieser Rum. Ist eher süßlich, aber trotzdem okay. Schöne Vanillenote in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch viel Vanille, außerdem etwas dunkle Schokolade und auch sehr würzig und holzig. Leckeres Teil.

    Auto-translated

    La bouteille à été ouverte pour l’occasion. Un nez de bois neuf avec du bacon et du fumé. La bouche est consensuelle avec un léger poussiéreux. La finale est plate et courte. Un rhum décevant mais loin d’être mauvais.
