Review by Jazz
Des notes de fruits mûres et d’amandes ! Un rhum rond et satisfaisant ! Manque légèrement de puissance!
Review by Jacques etdom
Pleasant nose, but too much citrus on the palate. I liked the 10-year-old much better. No finesse. Not worth the price.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. Tasted this next to the Bielle 2016. Very different. Creamy. More woody.
Review by Jarek
Nose still quite good, disappointing on the palate.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a sophisticated rum with a great nose, that maybe has a little bit too kind and soft flavors to get a really high score in my opinion. This rum, a Brut de Fût, from the Carrere Distillery in Guadeloupe is aged for 8 years in Ex-Bourbon barrels before bottled at a rather low cask strength.
Review by mto75
Am Gaumen ziemlich süß, ein bisschen wie Birnensirup, daneben die pflanzlichen Noten, die ich sonst eher bei noch jüngeren Agricoles wahrgenommen habe. Am Gaumen dann deutlich Röstaromen, Muskatnuss, Fasseinschlag. Für mich nicht ganz die Agricole(Montebello)-Oberliga, vergleichen zB mit dem 12jährigen Velier Basseterre.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super sweet agricole. Toffee/tonka bean/dried hay/vanilla pods and biscuit dough. Reminds blind rather of reimonenq. Very delicate, elegant and neither too dry nor too sweet. Also an unusually low alcohol content for such a young brut de fut! Overall, however, really harmonious and dangerously drinkable with enough character to remain exciting.
Review by Werner10
Not bad but could also be better. Trying this one after a Bielle 2014 brut de fut wasn't my best choice.
Review by Rodolphe
A good representative of Guadeloupe in cask strength. Very sweet, so pleasant and easy to sip. Personally, it's not the style of Agricole I prefer.
Review by DomM
Feels unbalanced. Fresh/vegetal notes fight with notes from the cask without creating a working picture. Starts off rather sweet wirh a bitter turn on the finish.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Mmm... erste Nase sehr angenehm. Sehr süffig. Um so mehr man dich damit beschäftigt um so mehr kommt eine Off Note durch. Am Gaumen wieder süß mit mehr Kräutern. Der Abgang mehr Holzeinfluss. Hatte auch schon süsere Bielles oder La Favorite. Hier stimmt die Balance aber nicht ganz. Trotzdem gut trinkbar.
Review by Jakob
Verführerische Nase mit schöner Fruchttiefe und Würzaromatik. Am Gaumen dagegen leider sehr flach - Gewürze, etwas Holz, der Rest des Profils ist sehr übersichtlich und mir schlichtweg zu uninspiriert. Auch hier zeigt sich: Für mich gewinnen Montebellos mit der Reifung.
Review by Serge
Nette Nase mit viel frischem Zuckerrohrsaft und fett Süße. Riecht gar nicht nach 8 Jahren, sondern bleibt recht nah an Agricoles blancs mit etwas Gewürz und Holz. Am Gaumen gefällt er mir deutlich weniger und hier verliert er die meisten Punkte. Alkoholisch und bitter (wie von Zitruszeste) hinten raus und wenig finesse sowie insgesamt recht kantig.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Nez original sur le reglisse ou pruneaux Bouche trop énolique sans finesse , trop décevante par rapport au nez.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Montebello ist total unausgewogen … Die Nase geht ja noch: relativ süß und fruchtig, aber am Gaumen: pflanzlich, wie junger Agricole, dann. Holzig würzig und süß ! Nichts passt wirklich zusammen, er schmeckt eher wie ein Blend aus verschiedenen Jahrgängen, leider Daumen runter 👎🏻
