Rum Shark Chamarel 2013

Sipped neat, this is one for slow evenings — "very agricole, almost whiskey like rum," as one member puts it. Grassy cane, pear and fresh fruit up front, then a streak of nail-polish and spice, cinnamon and clove, with light oak underneath. At 56.5% it needs a while in the glass to open up. Fresh and dry, closer to a rhum agricole than anything sweet.

The community says
  • Grassy cane freshness

15.07.2026 Retasting and it is still a pretty OK rum. -------------- 25.01.2023 Enjoying some samples at home. Colour Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, Agricole, fruits, light polish, spice, plum, faint medicinal. Palate Round, warm, light wood, faint roasted, fruits, light pear, Agricole, spice, light nutts. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruits, light pear, light medicinal, light plum. This rum needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly.

8.3/10

This rum is like a candy - it smells like mead but with a hint of varnished wood..the flavor is complex..from sweet honey on the nose to overripe fruit to a bit more technical varnish and spices like cloves and cinnamon. The finish is medium to long...it's the kind of rum to sip every evening when you're craving something sweeter (like Christmas) but not too sweet...just like a candy bar.

Mauritius 

Avg Rating 7.6/10 over 490 Rums

Mauritius is the rum island of the Indian Ocean, a sugarcane country that makes it all: smooth aged molasses rum, fresh-juice agricole, and the spiced and fruit-steeped rhum arrange that locals drink. That range across three rum styles makes it one of the most varied origins in rum, still flying under the radar of most drinkers.
