Review by Michael Schillheim
The few bottlings from Mauritius, which I was allowed to taste so far, could not convince me yet.Therefore, this Labourdonnais surprised me positively. Vegetable and spicy notes predominate, which I expect from a sugar cane juice-based rum. Light vanilla, citrus and barrel aromas round out the impression in the nose and on the palate.Only the for me somewhat low alcohol content of 42% is to be criticized by me. Personally, I would have liked a few percent more. Special points again receives the XO for its surprisingly long finish, which leaves very pleasant Agricole notes on the palate.
Review by Barney
Une bouteille fini trop vite. J’ai eu la chance de faire une dégustation des produits LABOURDONNAIS directement à la distillerie. J’ai clairement eu un très bon feeling sur leur gamme de produit. Mon vrai coup de cœur se porte sur ce XO que j’ai donc ramené à la maison. Dégusté à domicile avec les bonnes personnes et dans de bonnes conditions, se XO se révèle être un très bon rhum. Je conseille ce rhum à tout type de personne, amateur ou confirmé, il s’agira là, toujours, d’une très belle découverte. De mon point de vue, c’est une distillerie avec beaucoup de potentiel.
Review by Martin Augustin
Ein gut trinkbarer Rum aus Mauritius. Sehr leicht, aber gut. Geschmacklich sehr süß mit Honig und Vanille Noten.
Review by Wernie
Ein leichter, junger Rum,wenig Tiefgang. Ein paar Prozente wären ganz gut gewesen. Es bleibt bei dem Sample.
Review by Winetrader
Encore un Rhum de l’Ile Maurice, je considère que c’est un Rhum agréable et buvable. Le taux d’alcool est de 42%il s’agit d’un Rhum Agricole avec un bon équilibre, pas trop complexe, parfait a siroter avec un cigare
