Color: Mahogany The first impression on the nose is of a winery invaded by mold, hints of rather unexpected undergrowth. Soon fruity notes appear, mixing apples and plums on a background of caramel. Very surprising ... Red wine? Some menthol on the edge of the drug (mentholatum. ..) extremely pleasant freshness and contrasts. In the mouth, it is far from these sugary caramel notes that are often associated with rum. We are dealing here with a decidedly fresh rum, with a lot of contrasts between fruit and caramel. This rum is supported by an perfectly adequate alcohol percentage. The finish is relatively short and cool, in continuation of the mouth ![]() |

Colour: Old gold to amber.Nose: Notes of gingerbread, honey, almost vinous, juicy, sweet nose first. With notes of pear, sips sugar apples. Light citrus grow thereafter (especially lemon, lime, lemon peel) with some exotic floral notes. A pretty herbaceous profile finally (fir softwood) with hints of licorice. Mouth is gentle, with notes of licorice, pine honey, ripe green apple, orange peel, vanilla and fresh mint (finally found!). Crisp and clear juice from sugar cane, vanilla and pepper notes on the finish. Final: More on these dry peppery notes, but without too much bitterness. Rum Nation Martinique Hors d'Age? ![]() |

Nose: applesauce with cinnamon from the start. Becomes more complex with aeration, I still feel the same flavors but not melted and explosive as some poor quality rums. There are caramel, candied fruit and spices (vanilla and ginger).Palate: In the continuity of the nose but not too much sugar which is appreciable. Final: average. Comments: I appreciate this rum profile. The only flaw in my opinion is a lack of in the mouth. ![]() |

colour: old wet haynose: sweet but delicate cognac-like nose with fruits like lychee, yellow grapes/raisins and vanilla sweetness. taste: delicate flavoured sweetness, not as exciting as the nose though, some yellow apples and white grapes, easy going and smooth. The finish reveals some spices and a drying touch. But with a lot of fruitiness from peaches and apricots. ![]() |

Color: AmberNose: Fresh and fun, it develops notes some chemicals but pleasant bubblegum or candy, beautiful sweet citrus fragrance, something floral, too. It is not textraordinarily complex, but the remarkable melted makes it difficult to disentangle aromas. Palate: The attack is fresh and sweet, the mid-palate more powerful, dry vegetal also oscillating between the acidity of citrus (orange / cinnamon) and flavor to both sweet and powerful raisins macerated in alcohol. Finish: Quite long, it is more bitter than the mouth, but still found this little tart touch that brings necessary freshness and balance. Conclusion: A good rum, less powerful than the Don Jose 12yo, but more balanced and easy to drink. ![]() |

Much like an old grain whisky... Taste (83): light, smooth. sugar, spices, wood, citrus, liquorice, almonds. Finish (82): (4)average. almonds, sugar. ![]() |

Color: Light TanNose: Heavy or even cumbersome. A reference immediately comes to mind: licorice. And especially the two-color English sweets licorice aromas plus their sweet side. Palate: The palate develops gently. It is fully in line with the aromas of licorice found on the nose. The second part of the tasting is a bit soft with chewing gum side Final: The final thrives on the bitterness of caramel with hints of roast. The finish is a bit short with a return of licorice. A coherent rum but a little too uniform. ![]() |

Colour: light amber. Nose: Very gentle, with vanilla, caramel, plum, tangerine and sugared apples. Somewhat shy, but very nice. Taste: just as gentle as the nose, but a bit weak. Fruity notes of banana and pineapple and some treacle. It's syrupy without being overly sweet, but it lacks punch. ![]() |

Jean-Michel
Colour: RussetNose: Rather discreet compared to other competitors, and quite different. No banana. No acetone. Opens up with two faces. One is rather pleasant, reminding me of a red berries crumble. The other one disturbs me, reminding me of a floorcloth that would have been un-wrung for ages. A nice fruity sourness arises after a while. Kumquat? Raspberry vinegar? Very strange, but once again, not unpleasant at all. Mouth: Weak and sugary. Lacks some oomph. Quite spicy, with lots of cinnamon. Pomegranate juice. Finish: Quite long, with a slight aftertaste of apricot jam. Comment: We’re light-years away from rums I usually drink. An uncommon drink that would have deserved being bottled at higher strength. ![]() |

Nose: It first smells like sugar. Some caramelized apples then arrive with vanilla. There are also touches of varnish. The opening brought back vanilla, fresh spears but artificial (chlorophyll).Taste: Quite round with a lot of spices (sweet), vanilla and lemon (minority) who affixes acidity. It lacks dominant and remains on the brown sugar.Not very originalmelted mouth. Finale: It is very short on vanilla. The aftertaste has some tangy character. Comment: A Rum which is hard to have a footprint. If we except a certain freshness to the nose, the mouth is more neutral, too wise. With a few more degrees we have earned as much depth and length. ![]() |

Nose: I love. Balanced and pastry (apricot tart). Lightly powdered with aeration. Winey (porto) and discrete varnish. Mouth: entrance disappointing in terms of artificial dates and notes of vanilla (chemical). Beautiful silky texture. Limit sickening to me. May be too reduced. Average and quite bitter final (grass side of the cane). Conclusion: a promising nose, a mouth, but that seems very unnatural and almost caricature. Disappointing. ![]() |

Cosinus
Nez: Poivre avec des arômes de menthe intenses. Puis la grenade, le thym, la tisane avec un côté poussiéreux. Ensuite cela évolue sur de l'herbe sèche et le foin.Bouche: Cela parait assez dilué. Elle est sur les mêmes arômes d'herbe sèche et de foin. Un peu de chicorée avec une légère amertume. C'est léger et brouillon mais la fin de bouche est quand même piquante. C'est vraiment pas terrible. ![]() |

Colour: AmberNose: very bright, with fairly deep woody notes (old furniture) and a delicious exotic fruit (passion fruit), quite spicy, it also has notes of softwood bark and citrus fruit (peels) and almonds, beautiful power and complexity Mouth: rather sharp attack, it starts with a woody side then come the exotic fruits, bark, citrus peels. Juice cane appears next, the alcohol is well integrated, it is nice and tasty, average length on cane juice with a slight bitterness that gives a bit of resistance to the whole ![]() |

Colour: Old gold to amberA superb nose where spices (sweet pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, anise) are present and together with the sweetness of cane make it a great mix giving the rum a nice complexity while perfectly balanced. Extremely engaging anyway. On the palate, the rum first is quite discreet but shows up quickly powerful spicy notes with a hint of woody bitterness. This contrast gives it a nice complexity, although we would have liked at times a little more punch. But here is the lover of whisky talking. The finish is long and this blend of spicy bitterness takes over. ![]() |

Nose: A little chocolate and raspberry in the first place. Then the mint and lemon appear. Finally a little marzipan embraces other flavors. A beautiful diversity among typical elements (chocolate, lemon) and surprises (mint, almond paste) to a beautiful nose.Taste: A nice explosion with lemon, chocolate, spices and a little fresh mint. It lacks a bit of body but freshness is really nice. Final: OK, on the mint and a hint of spicy bitterness. Comment: A very cool rum, ideal for the summer season. The presence of mint lightens everything and gives it character. The omnipresence of lemon is a bit too much in the mouth but I must admit that this rum remains pleasant. ![]() |

Colour: Burnished.Nose: Starts rather fruity (redcurrants) before unfolding on spicy and even meaty notes. Quite some organics, and more brown sugar after a while. Mouth: Sweet and easy. Slightly too easy, actually. Lacks a little oomph to my liking. Better take a big sip! Biscuity. Shortbreads and cinnamon. Speculoos? Finish: Same slightly cloying sweetness than in a banana-praline cake. Comment: A rather honorable middle range sweet and biscuity rum. Not the best, not the worst. ![]() |

Nose: a little moderate or too melted. Nice balance anyway. No real change at aeration. Taste: silky texture, fresh attack (mint) then .... Radio Silence! short final Conclusion Can not be bad, lack of presence! ![]() |

nose:Aromatic herbs, thyme, marshmallow, vanilla. It's pretty bright. The nose is very nice and made me think a lot of a bourbon. mouth: The attack on the varnish and bubblegum and strawberry but it's dry and bitter and quite alcoholic. Always herbs. The finish is dry also. The mouth also makes me think of a bourbon ![]() |
