Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 2020
Two years in virgin oak and it drinks like something much older — that's the surprise most tasters land on. It pours thick, almost syrupy, with overripe tropical fruit, red berries, olive brine and a medicinal, fermented edge running through it. The virgin wood tames the wild Galion side without going bitter. At 58.5% the alcohol sits remarkably well integrated. Dense, unusual, and a lot of people want more of it.
The community says- Dense fruity funk
- Syrupy body
- But: Medicinal edge

How does Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 49 community reviews.
Syrupy fruit-and-funk bomb from young virgin oak Most owners are won over — a syrupy, fruit-and-funk flavor bomb that punches way above its two years. A few find the medicinal note a hurdle, and it's not built for complexity.

Review by Djehey
Finished bottle (T__T): totally won over by this bottle! I'm very interested in trying out other Galion aged rums! Bottle almost finished: it's become even rounder. For 2 years, I find it remarkable. It's not insanely complex, but it's very coherent. A very good bottle... 2nd tasting - after a quarter bottle Take some ripe exotic fruit Put them in a copper pan Add a large lump of butter and a little sugar Cook over a wood fire Flambé (with rum) Squeeze a small piece of lemon Now you can serve this superb Galion! 1st tasting it looks like fruit compote in a soda barrel.

15.06.2022 A nice day running through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, balanced, fresh, light olives, apple, light citrus, fruity. Palate Medium intense, oily, light wood, olive, light salty, apple, light tannins, spice, faint medicinal. Finish Medium to long, warm, light oily, olive, light citrus, spice, fruits. Extra note. A brilliant example of what you can do with short aging in virtin oak.
Review by Tschusikowsky
What a cool drop. Thick molasses rum that drinks like syrup from the consistency. The palate is extremely complex and very special in its own way. The blueberry and strawberry I find very horny. The finish is no less complex. Meaty, bacony, smoky, licorice, medicinal. Very exciting profile. Especially for the two years of aging. Please more of it.

Plums, puddings
Review by Schnubbi
Not bad at all. Glue and dried fruit, behind which the wood comes through quite dominantly without becoming too bitter. Quite a dense aroma, drinks almost syrupy. Really not a bad rum for the price. For me, it goes a bit in the direction of Savanna.
Review by Sebastian.W
Very fresh and fruity on the nose with citrus, apricots, smoke, toffee and some vegetal notes. The first sip is agricole like, but let it rest and it turns into overripe fruit and marmalade. A complex rum and the price at release was very good.
Review by Filip Šikula
Velká pecka od daily drams. Sirupová konzistence a vůně i chuť marmelády dělá z tohoto kousku něco tak typického, že nejde splést. Perfektní ovocný nos i chuť, plná červeného ovoce s poněkud kratším závěrem.
Review by John Coffey
A great aroma very satisfying for the price. It lacks complexity but given the age it sends watts and that's all we ask.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Very interesting taste of "bompari".
