Review by Felix Reiber
Ein sehr gut gereifter und fruchtiger Rhum aus Martinique. In der Nase habe ich tolle Fruchtnoten, etwas Holz, Honig, Tee und sogar einen Eindruck von Cola. Am Gaumen kommt der Muskatwein gut zur Geltung. Getrocknete Früchte, Leder, Vanille und Backgewürze bringen eine prächtige Fülle hinein. Der Abgang ist nicht allzu intensiv, aber doch lang und sehr harmonisch. Von getrockneten Früchten, Fassnoten, Gewürzen bis hin zu Grapefruit wird alles perfekt von einer schönen Eukalyptusnote untermalt. Ach ja, der Alkohol ist erstklassig eingebunden. Keine Spur von 52% Vol. Ein großer Genussfaktor. Gerne wieder.
Review by Lot-NAS
What can I say, the 2009 Chestnut brother / sister was more to my liking. The finish is a bit overwhelming leaving no room for the character of the spirit (except for some fruits / red tea on the nose). It is nice but pretty generic at the same time.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, the New Grove DNA is already clearly recognizable on the nose. The alcohol is also well integrated. But overall, the rum is a little too tart and almost boring for me. Is this due to the Moscatel finish? Nevertheless, it's still a good rum, even if it's not at the top of the New Grove league.
Review by Timo Groeger
The last one for me from the S.B.S Mauritius series, but somehow it doesn't pick me up. The nose is quite woody, but dried fruits are also recognizable. On the palate there is also wood/oak, but also some red wine.

Sweet grape meet sweet spirit. Brandy, smoky peaches, not sure what to think of it.
