"Un rhum très réduit pour plaire au plus grand nombre de palais, ce qui a pour effet d'éteindre un peu le goût. Ici, c'est le nez qui est très intéressant avec un profil agricole ou la canne est bien présente, avec un soupçon de bois et une vraie gourmandise. C'est un rhum réunionnais, avec sa typicité si particulière. Très cool."
"Right after opening my sample, the aroma was almost perfumy. Poured it to my tasting glass and unfortunately the aroma mostly disappeared. Afterwards only was getting light citrus. When tasting, got herbal notes and very light wood. Mouthfeel was quite watery. The finish was vegetal, grassy and short."
"Honorable for the price. A bitterness I'm not a fan of. Alcohol could be better integrated."
"Goûté au RF 2023 donc dégustation sommaire... C'est agréable mais beaucoup trop réduit, sans relief."
