“Bought three different Rivière du Mat, produced in Reunion, during my drive down to Spain. This is the second I open, a traditionnel Rhum Vieux. Haven’t found out the aging, but I characterize it as a VO with an aging about 3 years. Overall an OK rum that’s definitely better than the Ambre because of its deeper character (easier to recognize the aroma and tastes) and longer finish.”

“An der Nase verlockend floral-süß, gaukelt höheres Alter vor. Am Gaumen dann enttäuschend, unrund und alkoholisch-holzig. Wer nicht desillusioniert werden möchte, riecht nur am Rhum, ohne ihn zu trinken. Immerhin relativ langanhaltender Abgang.”

“The very definition of cheap and cheerful. Blended rhum traditionnel with unspecified age profile and a bargain basement price. Surprisingly successful as a sipper, certainly not unpleasant by any means. Spicy, wooded, and containing that distinctive clay tone that I also find in rhum traditionnels by Isautier (the La Reunion neighbor of Rivière du Mat). For the 20€ asking price this is a recommend, assuming you are the type of person who is able to tier what you are drinking based on how much you are paying.”
