Review by Vincent D
I'm not sure I have the same bottle, since mine is 41°. An agricultural ESB. Cane. Lemon on the nose. On the palate, you can feel the youth. Still cane. A sweet fruit brandy. Citrus fruit. Pepper. Short finish on cane and a wine impression. Definitely not bad. Too bad a watery sensation spoils it a bit. Too violent a reduction for me.

Oh well, clear vinegar here too. It runs through all Chamarel.
Review by TheJackDrop
Rhum Club de Lille, soirée 1 : super simple à boire, frais; gourmand pâtissier ! Le choux à la crème comme dirait Benjamin. Du caramel, de la vanille, un peu de canne (malgré le fait que ce soit de la mélasse), et je reste sur cette super impression de cannelé bordelais.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
I tried it today at the distillery at Chamarel after a short tour. The distillery has a seasonal break now and will resume operation during the sugar cane harvest around August. The sugar cane is grown by the distillery, they use both green and red types. Distillery owns a column and a pot still. This one was second in line, the short aging left it with smoothness but also a bit less character. Quite spicy, simple, some cognac influence.
Review by Christoph
Ein insgesamt recht langweiliger Rum der in der Nase ganz klar eher an Wein erinnert. Am Gaumen leicht röstig aber den ganz netten Traubenduft will man nicht so richtig schmecken und auch sonst schmeckt dieser Rum nach relativ wenig.
Review by JFehr
Dünn, weinig. Angenehme würzigkeit im Abgang. Leichte Bitterkeit und grasig. Recht unspektakulär
Review by rum_sk
Not great not terrible. Taste and smell of home made booze. Spicy as well. This is surely not my cup of coffee, I mean rum. Agricole. One shot is perfectly enough for me. It was brought by a friend straight from his visit of mauritius.
Review by Thefrenchagave
un rhum qui met tout de suite dans l’ambiance. Au nez, ça part direct sur le caramel, les notes pâtissières bien gourmandes, et une belle touche de vanille. En bouche, c’est doux, rond, ça glisse tout seul. Un rhum qui fait plaisir, facile à apprécier, avec ce petit côté dessert qui donne envie d’y revenir.
Review by MJ72
Solider Vertreter, fruchtige Apfelnoten in der Nase, moderate Süße und etwas Frucht im Mund, im Abgang flach aber mild
