Longueteau Rhum Blanc 62

This rum from the Esperance distillery, which also produces the Karukera brand, is produced from the blue and red canes of the estate. Fermented in a natural way, without any additives and then distilled on a traditional Savalle column whereafter it’s just slightly watered down with the offspring water from the Soufrière volcano before bottled at the estate. Overall an powerful Agricole that despite the high ABV is very smooth and quite mild. I’ve also tested it in a Ti Punch, and it was great. So I understand that it’s very popular locally in Guadeloupe.

Endlich wwirds besser ;-)Ein schöner Agricole von Longueteau hier. Sehr pflanzliche Nase, man hat direkt einen frischen und floralen Geruch in der Nase. Am Gaumen setzt sich das Agricolespiel fort. Pflanzlich, warm und erdig. Alkohol gut eingebunden.

An elegant, well-balanced Longueteau, with a lovely attack on the nose of sugarcane, vegetal, earthy and floral aromas. Tropical fruit and citrus are not far behind in this dry but fairly rounded profile. The attack on the palate is warmer and spicier. Ginger sharpens the profile, while nature (floral and vegetal notes) tries to reclaim its rights, before letting citrus take the lead. The profile isn't particularly spectacular, but it remains well constructed. The alcohol, on the other hand, is very well integrated. The finish is long, bordered by sugarcane and vegetal notes, citrus (cltron zest) and spices (ginger). The latter accentuate the dryness of the finish. A rather well-made, powerful and aromatic Longueteau.

green apple, ginger, red pepper, honey, nutmeg and lavender. very exciting combination!

What strikes me here, after having tried a vertical of Blanc, is the incredible creaminess! It's quite thick, almost creamy. Cannes, vegetal and lime very easy to perceive. On the nose: Vegetal, Sugar cane, Lime, Alcoholic, Green apple. On the palate: Sugarcane, Intense, Lemon, Creamy, Lime, Green apple Finish: Lemon zest, Green apple

A beautiful white

Déception totale pour moi. Longueteau figure parmi les meilleures producteurs d’agricole blanc mais celui-ci est vraiment pas un de ses meilleures. Loin de ça. Fade, ennuyeux, nettement au dessous de leur constellation pour donner juste une example. Vraiment un blanc au milieu de gamme. Le test de ti-punch sec n’impressione pas, plutôt le coule complètement. Décevant.

Very good white. A beautiful smell of cane and lemon. Average length.

This one is really nice. Maybe a bit sharp due to the alcohol not being integrated too well, but nonetheless a very nice Agricole Blanc with grassy and peppery notes.

Nice lemony, green smell. It burns on the palate, and as it passes through the gullet, it's always warm. It's hard to bring out aromas with such power, rather green so cucumber and gin for example. Good, but difficult to enjoy dry. Indeed, a ti-punch is better.

My first Longueteau and I really dig it. Higher on the green apple and lime with a lot of floral notes and some sharper spices like coriander and clove. Guadalupe does not disappoint—this gives Pere Labat 59 a run for its money.

D'après Longueteau, c'est leur référence des blancs de base. Regoûté en aveugle face au Longueteau Constellation et au Bologne La coulisse, il arrive en effet en tête grâce à son nez exhuberant de canne sucrée. En bouche il est gras et citronné, avec une légère amertume épicé sur la longueur moyenne.

Longteu 62 Apples , garlic cloves Tasting Like a dry raki taste of Japan apples mangos this is a delight of the tongue

Nice find that 62 ! A little disappointed compared to the 9... Less length in mouth and not the particular sparkle. But it remains very very good
