Nobilis Montebello No. 22A (Brut de Colonne) 2019
Most tasters are genuinely surprised how drinkable 82.8% can be — the alcohol reads far lower than the number suggests, more like "60-something percent" to several. Expect ripe honeydew melon, fresh sugarcane juice, jasmine and a green, vegetal side, with an oily texture that clings. Agricole skeptics still bounced off it; the club that tried it "really don't like it." Loud, fruity, unaged white.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Ripe melon, sugarcane
- But: 82.8% Is a lot

Review by CaRaph
The ABV is felt strongly as soon as the nose gets over the glass. Tones are végétal, floral, some fruits, olive, oily and very warm. I'm used to working in hospitals and I think there is a slight touch of medicine. The palate is really powerful, though well balanced. One can really feel this rum going down in the belly, it's warm. Flavours are globally the same than in the nose. I find the finish surprisingly short. This rum is not my kind, I think it lacks something like complexity compared to old dark rums and ABV too high for my taste even if well integrated, but I nevertheless recognize it is a good one. Congrats Nobilis !
Review by Frank
Third, the original juice of the two (22B and C). No. 22A. And that hits the suppository with almost 83% properly.nose: careful smelling is announced, but then comes a lot of fermented fruit, floral and something vegetal. Here the unripened Agricole resemble each other but clearly. This one has an oily heaviness. Ripe honeydew melon and papaya meet mild olive. The 83% is there, but doesn't hurt.Palate: blatantly creamy, oily and intense. I think even my pulse quickens briefly at the %%. But flows amazingly well down the palate. Lots of fermented honeydew melon. Slightly bitter for a moment, then honeyed sweetness again. In the back, typical Agricole, becoming distinctly grassy.Challenging and flavor intense. Very interesting.

10.02.2024 tasting event at the Nobilis Warehouse, Haderslev. Retasting and I still love this heavy hitter. ----------------------- Despite the high ABV this release really pulls it off. Once rested (I did 30 minutes after the first sip) it really kicks in. An intense but well balanced rhum and I know where I can go and get a glass locally as well. In short, fruity, floral and well balanced intense rum. I like the oily texture that keeps the flavours on the palate for a very long time.
Review by Gil Firth
הייתי מצפה ממשהו ב82 אחוז להיות הרבה יותר חריף ולא נעים. מדובר ברום מצויין ומאוד מעניין. מרגיש 60 ומשהו אחוז. ריח מוזר קצת חמוץ ולקטי כזה. כמו אבטיח או מנגו שמרקיב. פאנקי. בפה יש לנו כבר מתיקות פירותית. עשבוניות. אסטרים בקטנה. מאוד חי ובוסרי בקטע טוב. בושם. פירות חמוצים. לא רואה איך מסיימים בקבוק כזה🥴 אבל אין ספק שזה מתאים מאוד לכמה דראמים והמחיר שלו מבחינתי לתמורה פשוט מצויין.
Review by Richard Krupa
This is really strong. After a careful sniff, I can smell a lot of fruit, straw and perhaps even a donkey soaked in alcohol. The amps are a real bummer, but the taste is not as wild as I would expect from so much alcohol, but it is still very strong for me. Anyway, a good experience and the strongest sample I've ever tasted so far.
Review by Mc Pirate
More than 82 degrees, it is the strongest rum of my tastings to date! But very surprised by the heat it gives off in the mouth without burning! True to the Guadeloupean column bruts, it is sugar cane to the nose and the trip is intense in the mouth leaving the heat for a long time! Excellent!
Review by Thunderbird
The Montebello comes across as quite intense... it can't hide its 80+ ABV... from the nose to the finish they are quite present, but in a pleasant way... the herbal side dominates..on the palate also a heavy sweetness ... PS: it's fantastic in TiPunch... heavy and fruity 😋
Review by Galli33
The rum with the highest ABV i ever drunk (so far)! This is a really nice fruit bomb with lovely sugarcane notes. The alcohol is integrated very well, but some drops of water will help for sure 😜! Blind i would rate it between 60-max70%.
Review by Jakob
As expected, intense, plenty of fermented fruit, sugar cane, olive brine, herbal aromas...all embedded in - unsurprisingly given the strength - recognizable alcohol, which is by no means overpowering.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Brutally cool overproof Agricole. Intense aromas of honeydew melon and sugar cane juice. Alcohol surprisingly well integrated. Aromatically really incredibly exciting. Very complex and delicious. Makes a gigantic Ti Punch!
