Review by Fasen
Étant un grand fan des high ester je ne peux que adorer celui-ci. Il est extrêmement aromatique et complexe, on y trouve une belle dose de fruits (Tropicale / Sec) avec une super gourmandise (Caramel brûlé / Brioche / Créme / Pâtissier / Pain d'épices), les épices bien que douces sont plutôt présentent et accompagne a merveille cette gourmandise (Vanille / Cannelle / Girofle / Muscade / Réglisse). Avec tout cela, la longue fermentation apporte énormément de notes empyreumatiques qui s'armonisent parfaitement avec le reste (Caoutchouc / Goudron / Acétique / Cuivre / Fumé / Tourbe / Plastique). L'olive iodé en saumure est bien présente du début à la fin c'est un peu comme le chef d'orchestre de ce rhum. Wow quel rum, c'est tout à fait mon style ! Bravo Guillaume ! 👏
Review by Jean Louisss
Terrible ! Une surprise auquelle je ne m'attendais pas. Quel rhum superbe. On pense que le nez est excellent mais la bouche est une véritable claque de douceur et d'arôme ! Très très bon, un rhum avec une profondeur aromatique impressionnante.
Review by Renato
The fermented molasses gives a wide variety of empyreumatic esters, well complemented by barrel aging. A great discovery for lovers of the English woody style. The finish is extra rich and long.
Review by MarcT
I had to look this up after my first taste, as it did taste so much different than other Melasse Rums I thought it might be an Agricole after all. Quite fruity in a way I was not expecting and must be refined in a second tasting. I liked it very much. Second tasting: Thinking I found the reason it is so different, Caramel and malt go with grapes and herbs, but also some fresh sweetness. Are all Grand Aromes along those lines? Worth checking this out...
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Une vraie petite bombe, le côté grand arôme prend un sacré goût de boost et devient un magnifique rhum de dégustation, j’adore!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Considering the age and price tag this is a very good rum. Fruity with wonderful spices that makes it live up to the "Grand Arôme". Very intense in the flavours with a hint of licorice and mint. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Morgan Garet
Le nez est génial, il attaque sur les solvants et la vanille, puis, au bout de quelques minutes, la pâte d'amande,le fume, les fruits tropicaux et les épices arrivent et tout se marie parfaitement ensemble. En bouche c'est complexe avec les mêmes acteurs qu'au nez. On fini sur une belle fraîcheur médicinale. Un vrai grand arôme👌🏼

Excellent GA from Ferroni! A little too woody on the palate to reach 90, but superb complexity for a 5-year-old rum. Express tasting. Needs more time to see evolution.
Review by Johannes
Ich mag die Grande Arome sehr gerne! Allerdings habe ich fast das Gefühl, dass sie mit längerer Lagerung eher an Kraft verlieren. Ich glaube das ist bisher der älteste GA, den ich getrunken habe.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
De la colle, de la banane et des épices plein nez. En bouche c’est puissant, c’est long et c’est une explosion de saveurs. Beau produit !
Review by Vincent D
Un jus de banane puissant et fort agréable. Édit : 2e dégustation plus aboutie. On n'est pas juste sur un jus de banane. Un nez pâtissier, bourré d'esters et de fruits mûrs. Une bouche très puissante, avec de la banane omniprésente accompagnée d'une gourmandise caramélisée, de touches de réglisse. Un côté iode également. De l'olive. Une finale iodée encore. Intense. Pas un rhum de tous les jours. Mais c'est très bon.
Review by Niko
Grand arôme martiniquais très réussi ! 🙂🙂
Review by EUDIER Vincent
This is a complete mind blowing stuff, the rhum is clear but black. The taste is expected to be “young high Esther” but it vanishes with ginger and licorice… interesting and playful ! Given the price, the quality and the trip… this “rhum” is amazing.
