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.
Tantalizingly sweet and floral on the nose, suggests older age. Then disappointing on the palate, unrounded and alcoholic and woody. If you don't want to be disillusioned, just smell the rhum without drinking it. At least the finish is relatively long-lasting.
Starts out pretty well. Agricole styled, fresh and dry. Oranges. Nougat/Marzipan and almonds. Taste: a tad disappointing. Less layered. Gets better with a few sips. A bit chemical. Some paint. Violet flowers. Finish: medium. A bit bitter. Plums. Overall not bad. Far from the brilliant 15y but nice nonetheless.
Time to finish up 1423's "24 days of Christmas". On day 20 we come across an agricole. It has some spicyness and wood in the nose to me, and in the notes I found some dried fruits, sugarcane and a grassy sensation with a medium finish
