    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Seychelles high‑proof rum for its vivid herbal and minty profile backed by lively spice. Aromas hint at tropical fruit and vanilla; the palate turns woody, vegetal and floral with peppery energy. Some add a splash of water to reveal more vanilla. Opinions vary on heat and finish, but with 74 reviews, strong buyer confidence, and a limited 1,150‑bottle Habitation Velier release, it’s a distinctive pick.

    A complex and well balanced rum in my mind, especially when thinking about the age. Very fruity with spices and herbal/minty/floral notes to balance it all. A bottle already gone from most shelves, but definitely worth a buy if you find it. Price to quality is very good.

    Very disappointed with this Velier! Frankly, it's like drinking bad medicine and chewing rubber. Astringent to the max, I won't finish this 3cl split. One of the first rums in my little experience to disappoint me to this extent, not enjoying the moment at all.

    I really enjoyed this and absolutely have no understanding for the low reviews. I thought it was absolutely delightful for its high alcohol and young age, a bomb of flavour. Had a sample, immediately bought a bottle.

    I have been procrastinating on this review far too long. Color: apple juice Nose: more flowery than fruity, like that dried flower bouquet your grandma used to have, incl. that note of hay and dust. a hint of apricot as well. very slight perfume-y notes Taste: somehow less varied than the nose, more on peach schnaps. goes down with a slight burn. Finish: not too long, not spectacular. something lactic like yoghurt pops up. As much as I fell in love with it's home (who wouldn't), this doesn't cut it. The distillery is charming and worth a visit if you happen to pass by (right besides the main road). I wanted this to be better, but it's only a high average. The destination is a solid 10, though.
