    How does this rum taste?

    • Smooth vanilla-forward nose
    • Gentle sweetness and wood
    • Easy-drinking, dessert-friendly profile

    Vanilla and woody notes take center stage in Chamarel XO, underlined by dried fruit and gentle spice from its 8-year aging. RumX tasters appreciate its smooth profile, soft sweetness, and mild complexity, though some wish for higher proof or bolder flavors. Worth exploring for those seeking an easy-drinking, dessert-friendly rum with elegant vanilla character.

    "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."

    "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."
