Velier Chamarel Indian Ocean Stills 2014 4yr 58%
The Indian Ocean Stills rum, produced by Chamarel Distillery in Mauritius, was distilled in 2014 and aged for four years before being bottled by Velier. Crafted from sugar cane juice in a column still, it presents aromatic notes of vanilla, Mirabelle plum, and cognac. The palate is marked by prevalent anise and vegetal flavors, alongside salty and young wood undertones. User reviews highlight the intriguing contrast between its nose and palate, though some find the alcohol presence slightly dominant. While it showcases bold Agricole-like characteristics, the high alcohol content and youthful profile draw mixed reactions, leaving room for potential refinement in longer aging.

“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)”

“Etwas zu alkoholisch.”

“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.”
