Review by Stefan Persson
Have had this 14yo Montebello from the Carrere distillery for a while and now it was time to test it. The Carrere distillery is quite young. They started up 1930 and from 1966 it has been operated by the Marsolle family. It’s vintage 2000 bottled 2015 at ABV 50,6%. There’s just 1250 bottles blended from four different ex bourbon casks. It’s extremely elegant and smooth and it’s actually quite hard to understand that the ABV is 50,6%. To feel the elegance of this rum it’s in my opinion important to keep it for a while in your mouth before you swallow.

After buying the 10 year old I had to try this one as well. It's fresh and the Agricole notes are there as well. A well rounded yet light rum in the flavour profile. Fruity with spices and a hint of nougat on the palate. There is also a light bitterness on first contact with the palate but it subsides with the following sips. In my opinion the 10 year old is better balanced than this one.

Some rums don't suit us at all...
Review by Jakob
Unfortunately, with a steadily declining level from nose to palate. What starts really appealing smell leads to a thin, watered-down taste film of fruit acid and toasty spicy notes on the tongue, which can hardly entice me to take more sips. Unfortunately, a really weak representative of Montebello.
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
Le nez est assez léger avec un boisé sympa et belle fraîcheur. Les fruits sont aussi présent. En bouche je le trouve un peu acqueux c’est dommage ! Il y a une certaine acidité qui me gêne aussi ! Il subsiste une belle fraîcheur sur la finale assez agréable
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Un nez très prometteur, très gourmand et fruité, une bouche très en retrait, un côté savonneux légèrement acide, un peu aqueux aussi, et une finale vraiment courte, surtout quand on considère ses 14 ans. J’en attendais beaucoup plus, déçu…
