Rivière du Mât XO 15yr 42%

RX811 Good Column Still Rum <50€
“Smooth, sweet, but lacks depth for some.”

The Rivière du Mât XO rum from Reunion Island is a molasses-based spirit aged for 15 years, crafted using a column still process. With an ABV of 42%, it exhibits primary notes of caramel and sweetness, accented by subtle honey, fruity, and woody aromas. The palate is underscored by lingering caramel, delicate smoothness, and hints of dried fruit and sugar. Users hold mixed opinions, with some appreciating its mellow, sweet character, while others find it lacking complexity and depth for its classification. This XO represents a smooth and accessible option, yet it's perceived to miss the robust intensity expected by some enthusiasts.

“Ya basic! Very bland and superficial with too much burn for its weight. Hard pass. Wouldn’t even use it as a mixer nowadays…”
