    How does this rum taste?

    The Courville Rhum Vieux Agricole, a 1960 vintage from Martinique's La Thibault distillery, enchants rum enthusiasts with its rich aroma of vanilla, orange peel, and tropical fruits. Despite its 25-year barrel aging, users find it smooth and balanced but sometimes lacking in complexity. A blend of woody and citrus flavors with a long, fruity finish makes it enticing. This historic agricole, produced in a closed distillery, offers a unique tasting journey, ideal for those appreciating subtle elegance over high alcohol intensity.

    Ein weicher angenehmer Agricole, der mehr auf der fruchtigen Seite steht. Etwas später gesellen sich am Gaumen leichte Fass- und Bitternoten dazu. Im Abgang erscheinen dezente pflanzliche Aromen. Gefällt mir ganz gut… auf jeden Fall ein Stück Geschichte im Glas (Destille seit langem geschlossen) PS: für so einen alten Rum mit geringem ABV hat er noch richtig Dampf

    Un nez beau mais doux, beurré avec des agrumes, écorces d’orange et pamplemousse rose, de l’ananas, un côté herbacé et un côté doux, mielleux. La bouche est aussi un peu beurrée et douce et toujours le côté agrumes assez marqué. La finale est longue, très longue ce qui est rare avec surtout des arômes fruités. Le boisé reste léger mais soutient les autres arômes. Très beau rhum qui donne envie d’en boire sans soif ! L’ABV relativement bas ne ne gêne pas du tout.

    #4235 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. I wonder where this bottle came from but it was a nice surprise once revealed. Fruity with really nice flowery notes. I'd say it was close to what you pick up when you walk into a womens perfume store. Love the cherry in the profile, which is a bit light and I would have loved a higher ABV. Draws nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some coconut, wet grass and chocolate.

    Damals zusammen mit einem Teil der Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Eine schöne Rarität. Das war es aber dann auch leider schon. Nichts desto trotz ein sehr schöner Rum mit tollen Aromen, aber vermutlich war die Erwartungshaltung einfach zu hoch.
