Rhum House Domaine de Courcelles Rhum Vieux Édition 2014 Magnum 1972
One taster just called it "genial" and left it there — which tells you the room it walks into. This is old Courcelles molasses rum: cherry and sour cherry up front, then honey, vanilla and a saffron note more than one member singled out as the surprise. Thirty-eight years of oak sits balanced, never drying or bitter, and at 54% the alcohol reads fully woven in. A rare bottle people sip slowly.
The community says- Cherry-saffron nose
- Buried alcohol
- Long oily finish

Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Old Guadeloupe rum, cherry-and-saffron sipper Near-unanimous love here — cherry, saffron and honey over old oak, with the strength perfectly buried. The only real catch is availability; this one won't come around again.

Zusammen in der kleinen Runde der Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Muss mal wieder einfach was schreiben um diese zweihundert Wörter zusammen zu bringen. 😅 Der Rum wäre einfach nur kurz durch ein einziges Wort zu beschreiben: GENIAL Danke an Serge den Spender.
Review by Serge
Ohne direkten Vergleich mit der einfachen Flaschengröße (schon ne Weile her). Aber ohne jetzt verkrampft n die 0,7 Liter Abfüllung zu denken rieche ich hier viel Safran, Honig, Vanille, etwas Brioche und auch etwas Sauerkirsche. Auch am Gaumen liefert er ab und ich bin vollauf begeistert. Aus der Erinnerung etwas weniger Parfumiert und etwas mehr Safran und Honig.
Review by Alain Masrum
Nez assez simple sur le boisé, la vanille cuite et le végétal La bouche après quelque temps dégage une impression forte et intense, sur la sève sèche, sur le chocolat blanc, sur les fruits rouges..genre griotte ! De la colle sèche, sur le vernis séché, d'un coup le zan, les bonbons Car acidulés et sucrés, étonnant, retour boisé, vanillé et fruité confit avec une trace de tabac La finale est longue, intense sur les cerises confites, l'extrait de vanille concentré, le caramel bien beurré et la sève séchée, comme la colle blanche sèche,
