How does Manutea Brut de Fût V.O. Private Cask 2017 taste?

Aggregated from 47 community reviews.

Minty, Banyuls-driven Polynesian powerhouse For curious explorers ready for something different: a 3‑year, cask‑strength cane‑juice rum from Tahiti, aged in ex‑Banyuls. Expect mint, licorice, overripe banana, dried fruits and tea‑like tannins. Widely praised for originality.

Perfect for

Seasoned agricole and cask‑strength fans who enjoy minty, anis/licorice notes and wine‑cask influence, and want an off‑the‑beaten‑path Tahiti single cask in their lineup.

Less suitable for

Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or tannic bitterness, and buyers expecting a soft, sweet sipper rather than a dry, herbal, wine‑driven profile.

Nez très gourmand et belle couleur acajou. Au nez le boisé domine avec une belle gourmandise apporté par des notes de canne à sucre au maximum de sa sucrosité. En bouche la canne à sucre apparaît longuement au départ. Puis le vieillissement en fût Ex-Banyuls apporte tout son potentiel: une belle richesse aromatique, chaude et rappelant les saveurs méditerranéennes, dates et figues séchés. En finale il reste une certaine amertume et astringence, probablement lié aussi aux tanins du Banyuls, un peu dommage mais il se mariera probablement bien avec cigare dominicain ou nicaraguayen épicé.

Incredibly beautiful bottling from Tahiti. Overripe banana, blackberry, vanilla pulp and dark chocolate and caramel candy with salt and coffee, plus a good dose of sugar ear, honey and tobacco. Alcohol is very well integrated and extremely complex and long lasting! Absolute benchmark underdog bottling at a very good price from Tahiti💯.

👃: Vin blanc liquoreux, doux, fraîcheur mentholé sous un fond légèrement fruité et bois jeune et d'épices pas facile a distinguer. L'alcool est très bien intégré. Le deuxième nez annonce davantage de fruits, c'est assez funky. Ça sent bon mais c'est assez timide. On sent qu'on a quitté les petites Antilles françaises.⭐⭐⭐ 👄 : Explosion de saveur, texture très grasses rappelant le vin liquoreux. l'attaque est frange sans être désagréable, l'alcool est plutôt bien intégré. Prédominance de fruits plutôt mûrs et vient ensuite les fruits a coques et les épices dans un fond de bois. J'aime beaucoup cette bouche. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⏳: Bois humides pas très agréable avec des épices types poivres, cardamomes. Dans l'ensemble assez amer, ce que je n'aime pas d'autant qu'elle est assez longue ⭐⭐

Vraiment un très joli rhum avec ses accents de cire d’abeille, de miel, de fruits jaunes, et une note mentholée, une belle rondeur apportée par le fût de Banyuls, très très gourmand! Une belle réussite.
