Velier Chamarel Blend

On the nose, expect vibrant herbal, vegetal, and fruity aromas; the palate is dry, woody, spicy and layered with anise and floral notes. Highly regarded for its complexity and originality—an under-the-radar Mauritian sipper the community considers great value.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex, fresh herbal profile
    • Long, spicy finish
    • Great value for quality

    RumX tasters spotlight Blend's fresh, vegetal nose with herbal and fruity layers, leading into a dry, woody-spicy palate graced by notes of anise, floral hints, and subtle whisky character. The finish is long, spicy, and intriguingly saline, with whispers of tobacco, tea, and roasted nuts. Worth exploring for fans of drier, complex agricole-style rums with an edge.

    "This is a wow factor rum, because you don't expect a Chamarel to taste like this. The nose is fruity with spices and wood. Leather, tobacco and licorice and a hint of grass follows. The palate is intense, oily and dry with wood, fruit and spice followed by coffee, tobacco, chocolate and wine. Overall the palate is spicy. The finish is long and spicy with tobacco and raisin. The finish is dry like the palate. Price to quality can be discussed."

    "Solid rhum, but nothing more. That it was bottled by Velier, you do not notice here (the rhum is in no way somehow outstanding), but that should be heartily indifferent in an evaluation of smell and taste. We are not talking about the bottle price here ... So again: Solid bottling, solid 80 points."

    "A fresh herbaceous nose, with a floral spice, something like mace. Slightly sweet of honey. Something fruity, perhaps slightly towards apricot. On the palate salty-sweet, spicy with anise and vanilla. But also something fruity, perhaps in the direction of sour cherry. Shortly comes something bitter and then immediately again something tart-sweet. A light almond note can also be heard. In the finish green tea and grassy sugar cane. Nice flavor curve."

    "I was very taken aback by the salty side, I wasn't expecting it at all."
