Les Rhums du Sud ReimonenQ Small cask 6 mois (Collection Guillaume de Roany)
Members rate it well but nobody's swept off their feet — most land around 7.5-8.5 and dock it for the same thing: a finish that runs short. It's a young, cask-strength Guadeloupe agricole, heavy on licorice, anise and fresh young wood with a minty, candied-fruit nose. At 60.7% it hits hard and the alcohol isn't fully tucked in yet, but the aromatic punch on the palate wins people over.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">A rare high-proof ReimonenQ that tasters mostly enjoy but rarely rave about — big anise-and-wood palate let down by a finish that fades too soon.
The community says- Strong aromatics

Review by Stefan Persson
This rum from the ReimonenQ distillery in Guadeloupe is selected by Guillaume de Roany and Rhums du Sud. It’s a single cask aged for 6 months in cognac casks and limited to 248 bottles. Directly in the nose it’s unmistakable an ReimonenQ. In mouth and at the palate it’s then an explosion of tastes which reminds me of the first ReimonenQ I tasted long ago. I find it quite hard to identify what it tastes, but it’s really a great rum. The finish is short to medium which is the only reason that I stop at 8+. ReimonenQ normally releases their rum at 40%. So after tasting this one I really hope they will release rum at higher ABV. Overall a fantastic Agricole with a little too short finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very nice and also a rare release. Very few bottles released and the price is amazing compared to what you get. A very intense rum with light fruit and floral notes as well as nice spices. There is a light caramel flavour on the palate and it goes well with the minty note. The high ABV has definitely benefitted the overall profile. Needs to rest for a while for the ABV to settle and all the flavours to be released. Noted that the empty glass is really nice after a while.
Review by Djehey
Un reimonenq avec un haut titrage d'alcool (ce qui est plutôt rare), vieilli 6 mois, probablement dans une barrique neuve. Le résultat est vraiment bon. Pas forcément complexe mais une vrai force aromatique en bouche.
Review by Johannes
Schöne Komplexität mit deutlicher Nuss-Note.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Au nez on sent que l’on est sur un agricole ESB, il fait très jeune. Des fruits confits puis du menthol et sur l’anis, il me fait penser à un rhum de La Favorite. Beau boisé. Au palais, énormément de reglisse, de bois et d’anis. Pas forcément ma came mais pour les amateurs c’est bien fait. En terme d’ABV, ça cogne mais on est sur les 59%. Rare du côté de Reimonenq mais du coup bienvenue ! Pas une intégration folle mais c’est du à sa jeunesse je pense. Beau produit.

Au nez on a l'impression d'avoir un to punch dans le verre.. Peu de longueur en bouche c'est dommage
