Vůně mírně ovocná, koření, skořice. Dost jemná až nevýrazná. Chuť celkem zajímavý mix agricole a ovocné pálenky. Kupodivu výrazné, koření, sud, docela citrusy a švestka. Očekávání byla nízká, ale toto není vůbec špatné.
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.
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.
Assez classique, pas désagréable mais pas ouf.
