How does this rum taste?
Produced at the Isautier Distillery in Reunion, the 5 ans rum is distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for five years, with a 40% ABV. Users report a fresh, citrus and herbal aroma with notes of sugarcane and green peppers. The taste profile includes young wood and a fresh, herbal quality, accentuated by a slight syrupy note. While some appreciate its unique Reunion Island character, others note a lack of complexity and a somewhat watery mouthfeel. Though the nose is particularly praised for its fresh citrus and herbal scent, the flavor is often considered less distinctive. Overall, this rum delivers a pleasant experience, albeit with some critique on balance and integration of flavors.

A very reduced rum to please as many palates as possible, which has the effect of somewhat extinguishing the taste. Here, it's the nose that's very interesting, with an agricultural profile where the cane is very present, with a hint of wood and a real gourmandise. It's a rum from Reunion, with its own particular typicity. Very cool.
Simple, assez leger. Pas mauvais mais pas assez complexe. Il y a mieux à la Réunion et chez Isautier
This Isautier is quite okay, there are much worse from this distillery :) The nose is very fresh, citrus fruits and herbs are recognizable before the young wood makes itself felt. Lots of herbs on the palate too, and a herbal note is also recognizable.
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.
