The Nectar Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams
Most love its wild, experimental olive‑menthol funk and salty chocolate depth; critics find it chaotic and not fully balanced. Consensus: exciting, niche rum that’s great to try, not a daily sipper.
Seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy high-ester, funky profiles like Jamaican whites or Savanna HERR and want an experimental, salty‑olive, medicinal Martinique twist at near cask strength.

How does this rum taste?
Experimental olive‑menthol funk bomb
If you enjoy funky Jamaican or Savanna grand arôme rums, this pushes that style in a salty‑olive, menthol direction—complex, a bit crazy, and rewarding if you like bold experiments.
Beginners, those sensitive to 59% ABV or who dislike olive, menthol and medicinal notes; anyone wanting an easy, sweet everyday sipper.

A bomb. Black olive brine on the nose and glue, followed by an explosion of dark chocolate and salt on the palate. Superb. Deguste à l'aveugle a la soirée Rhum Club Paris (Hôtel Maison Mère)
Love it or hate it - completely your own profile. I like Le Galion well, even if I can understand that not everyone will be happy here. The bottling has similarities with the Grand Arômes of Savanna, but again brings a somewhat spicy-herbaceous note purely, which in return the fruit ester sharpness somewhat invalidates - if one can speak of it at all here. Worth trying in any case!
Le nez est plutôt puissant avec des notes végétales et herbacées, des solvants jamaïcains. Le tout adoucie par le fût de Sherry. On retrouve donc des esters, de l’olive, des fruits tropicaux … le tout s’enrobant dans l’atmosphère d’une file d’attente de chez le pharmacien. En bouche c’est explosif et complexe, cela part dans tous les sens comme un feu d’artifice. On est vraiment sur quelque chose d’expérimental et sans contrôle ! C’est porté sur le végétal, l’herbe fraichement coupée au matin, du raisin sec, de l’orange, du vernis, des solvants, de la menthe, du sucre brûlé …
Sehr nah am Savannah HERR, gefällt mir sehr gut.
