    Bought three different Rivière du Mat, produced in Reunion, during my drive down to Spain. This is the third and last I open, a traditionnel Rhum Vieux. Haven’t found out the aging, but I estimate it to around 4 years. Overall a quite good rum that’s definitely better than the Ambre and the Royal Reserve because of its deeper character and longer finish.

    Short trip to Reunion September 2024 Then at least 2 decent rums are needed. Here's the Grande Reserve from Riviere du Mat. Spicy and smoky, as well as some caramel on the nose. On the palate, some vanilla is added to the spice and smoke.

    Als nächstes der Riviere du mat Grande Reserve aus dem Adventskalender. In der Nase sehr fruchtig. Pfirsich ist hier sehr dominant. Im Geschmack auch ein bisschen süßer nach Früchten. Kann man trinken

    This one was really disappointing because I know they can do a lot better. Out of balance in my mind and I'm happy i didn't buy a bottle.
