CDI Martinique

Users describe this Martinique rum as softly herbal with yellow fruit and a notable mirabelle note. Some wanted more body or complexity—one to try if you enjoy fresh agricole with a hint of spice.

    How does this rum taste?

    • grassy and fresh agricole
    • birne pur
    • warme intensive Ingwer Note

    Distillerie du Simon’s 2008 Martinique rum, bottled by Compagnie des Indes, lines up classic agricole and yellow fruit character with regular mention of mirabelle, grapes, and a splash of dark chocolate. The nose hits with "Agricole, Obstler und Mirabelle, aber echt top" says Timo Groeger, while on the palate, users find it a touch herbal, oaky, and moderately dry. "Frais, gras, herbacée...douce épice" sums up Adrien B, though some wish for more bite or complexity. Overall, it’s a gentle, subtly spiced Martinique with pear and warmth dominating the sip.

    "Wow, dieser CDL hat mich grad tatsächlich überrascht. Gut alkoholisch in der Nase, Agricole, Obstler und Mirabelle, aber echt top. Im Gaumen ähnlich, nur kommt hier dann der holzige Geschmack hinzu. Echt lecker..."
