Isla del Ron Martinique 2005
Highly praised as a unique, savory Martinique agricole with chili heat, smoke and wood over subtle fruit. Complex, niche profile that rewards experienced drinkers looking for something different.
Seasoned agricole fans and flavor hunters who enjoy savory, smoky, chili‑driven rums and want an offbeat Martinique that breaks away from classic grassy/earthy profiles.

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
