How does this rum taste?
The Martinique 2005 by Isla del Ron, distilled at Distillerie du Simon, offers a distinctive experience with its 15-year aging. This limited release of only 42 bottles delivers a bold tasting profile at 49.8% ABV. Users highlight its unique combination of vegetal, chili, and spicy aromas, recalling a chili cheeseburger. Its taste resonates with spicy and umami notes, surprising with fruity undertones atypical of Agricole rums. The rum’s woodiness and subtle grassy flavors merge intriguingly with a touch of saltiness, offering a complex and layered experience.

Wow, ein außergewöhnlicher Agricole aus Martinique. Anders, als alles was ich bisher von dort kannte. Nicht typisch erdig-grasig, etwas fruchtiger und fast schon dreckig-süß. Und nur 42 Flaschen. Ein paar Prozent mehr hätten ihm wohl trotzdem gut getan. Vielleicht muss ich in Zukunft öfter mal den ein oder anderen Clement probieren..
Jalapeno/bacon/cheese/brioche sesame burger or Burger King chili cheese burger in liquid form. Fat!
Smells and tastes savory. Chili both on the nose and on the palate. Woody, spicy, grassy. Rather little fruit. Very interesting.
Very niche bottling for Distillerie Du Simon..as far as I can tell, it’s really an unusual expression for a Martinique rum..you surely get vegetal and mildly grassy notes, although these are quickly covered by chili, green pepper and woody, with a touch of underripe banana and mango. On the palate, these flavors evolve into more complex notes, like cola and smoke. Truly unexpected
