How does this rum taste?
Elegant grassy-fruity Velier Guadeloupe
If you like elegant agricoles with grassy fruit, this is a sweet spot: more depth and age than entry rums, but softer and easier than full-proof, funk-heavy bottlings.
Those chasing high-ABV power, extreme funk, or very rich dessert-like sweetness; drinkers who want maximum intensity over elegance and subtlety.

A great aged agricole, tasted a couple of years later and still impressive
This rum is lightly dry and has a long finish. Fruity with spices and it has a herbal touch with honey to it. Very well balanced and complex. A lovely rum and a very good buy in my mind.
C’est doux ! Le nez est très doux avec des notes végétales. En bouche l’alcool est très bien intégré sans morsure ! On retrouve le côté miel herbacés . Une belle finale tout en fraîcheur. Très joli rhum !!
Rather elegant agricole with some peppery heat
