Velier Chamarel Indian Ocean Stills 2014

This rum was spectacular in the way that the nose was significantly different from the palate. The nose is light and elegant with tropical fruits, grass and some vanilla. The palate on the other hand is fruity with a warm touch and a lightly smoky wood flavour. The finish is fruity with chocolate and a very light pinch of barrel. Price to quality is very good.

Au nez, de la mirabelle, poire williams, un côté cognac, fait très rhum agricole. Sur le second nez presque un calvados, ca evolue pas mal. En bouche, plutot des fruits tropicaux avec un caramel, un côté salin, un peu de vanille et de bois. On dirait vraiment un agricole mais avec plus d intensité en bouche. Finale correcte. Ce rhum m etonne, je n en attendais rien, et pourtant il est très bien fait. L alcool est présent, mais sans être dérangeant. Je lui aurait plutot donné 7 à 8 ans. Beau produit.

Wyrazny podmak anyzu. Pieprz, krotki do sredniego finiszu.

For me, the best rum from Mauritius so far, but still with room for improvement. While the planty aromas dominate the nose, the palate shows a colorful mixture of caramel, fruit and notes of young wood. There is an alcoholic note (Cognac or Williams pear), which suggests that a little more time in the barrel would have done this rum quite well. In my opinion, good and with typical Agricole notes (although not a "real" Agricole), but not good enough for the price.Edit: Nose >> Palate

On the nose immediately rises the smell of vanilla, accompanied by a note of cognac, further develops mirabelle and a hint of anise.On the palate, young wood dominates at first, the rum spreads warm and slightly bitter.... there is some anise and pepper.The finish remains the young wood and earthy grass!A good rum, but not very complex.

두리안 과일 노트가 있는 럼입니다. 단독으로 시핑하기 보다는 디저트 럼의 기주로 활용하기 좋아보입니다. 하지만 특이한 두리안 혹은 암모니아 냄새를 제외하면 알코올이 잘 통합되어있고, 오크, 가죽등의노트가 밸런스가 좋아 마실 만 합니다. 굳이 꼽자면 남아프리카 혹은 사바나 쪽 저숙성 스타일에, 두리안 향을 포함한 캐스크로 마무리 한것 같은 느낌입니다. 나쁘진 않지만 보틀을 구매하기에는 무리가 있습니다.

As you would expect from the score, not a real highlight ... but not too bad either. Stone fruit and apple with aniseed, vanilla and vegetal notes as well as some wood and tobacco. A little too alcoholic and rather nothing you would need a bottle of (even if it is quite nice itself)

Clairement pas une réussite, c'est dommage.

Etwas zu alkoholisch.

Sehr leichter Rum. Viele helle und grüne Früchte, leicht grasig mit jungem Holz. Hmm, viel mehr gibr er leider nicht her. Erinnert mich komischerweise etwas an die LMDW Releases der thailändiacher Rums von Chalong Bay.

A nose of mirabelle plum where I find the alcohol very present. In the mouth I find the alcohol too present and not well enough integrated. I'll try to leave it aired for a while to see if it needs it.

Not bad, but a rum too expression- and profile-less. Could probably have used a few more years of storage - especially in the mouth, the alcohol still stands out noticeably even after some time in the air, the rest of the bouquet is pleasing, but too interchangeable. A pleasing drop, not a highlight. There are more interesting from Chamarel, although at least so far primarily rums of comparatively younger age (and also rather rarely in barrel strength) are bottled there.

Uplne neco noveho. Krasna vune, chut mi moc nejede Nejvic specificka vune u rumu co jsem snad mel. Chut uz lepsi nez pred rokem (z 62 zvedam na 65).

an der Nase relativ fruchtig und würzig nach grünem Apfel und Piment und etwas alkoholisch scharf, im Geschmack dann Hauptsächlich trocken, holzig und scharfkantig alkoholisch und unausgewogen. dazu etwas Anis, Apfel und Lakritz und salzig bitter... insgesamt erinnert er an Calvados, gefällt mir nicht so gut und ist einfach zu jung und auch zu teuer mMn.
