Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute riesen Überraschung! Meine neue Referenz für st. Aubin vermutlich. Dunkle Schokolade, Safran, Kirsche, Brombeere, Portwein Einflüsse, pelzige Kiwi, Karamell, etwas Tabak. Super angenehm zu trinken und perfekt ausbalanciert.
Review by Dr.Django
At the first tasting, I awarded this St. Aubin a full 88 points and can confirm this at the second attempt. Very tasty, wet tobacco, raisin chocolate... Super elegant, but different from the majesty of Neisson. I'll have to get a bottle after all! Thank you @Gunnar!

Verkostet auf der Hanse Sprirt 2023. Sehr schöner Agricol wirklich mein Highlight auf der Messe und macht Lust auf mehr. Holz, dunkle rote Früchte in der Nase. Im Mund setzt sich das fort, kräftig würzig mit sehr gut inhegriertem Alkohol. Leider hat er auch seinen Preis aber ich bin froh trotzdem eine Flasche geschenkt bekommen zu haben.

I'll make it short: You can rely on Frank's ratings. His assessment of this rum has made me curious. I got myself a sample and did not regret it, on the contrary - now I have to get a bottle. Exceptionally successful distillate of the little-known distillery Saint Aubin on Mauritius (which is always worth a visit). I can only unreservedly agree with the assessment of Frank. Delicious!
Review by Frank
It was hard to find a rum with more than 45% ABV at the Mauritius-Chamarel&Co booth at HanseSpirit. Then there was this one and it had me immediately! What an aroma. Sample bottled and now in peace to try at home. Nose: fantastically intense spicy-woody-fruity, complex and round. A concentrated array of aromas. Initially vanilla, fragrant cherry wood and pipe tobacco are up front, accompanied by sulfured raisin, prune and cherry and black currant. Also seems pleasantly toasty, toasted and laughingly smoky next to it. A subtle and tart sweetness of maple syrup and slightly sour and licorice molasses can be heard in the background. Would say the 8 years of tropical aging in a port wine barrel have done the rum really good. 90 Palate: concentrated and elegant, spicy-woody-fruity. The port wine barrel clearly comes through here. A pleasant blend of sour cherry, sulfured raisin and sweet and tart kiwi. At the front, however, first comes a wave of cardamom, slightly salty-peppery, then saffron with a hint of mint. Then in the back the port with the fruit. Hay on the finish. Very nice. 84 A very nice rum, where the finish (although this is rather the main maturation here) has come really well.
Review by cigares
Calendrier de l’Avent Rum Firendly Club, jour 9. Un nez chaleureux et complexe avec des herbes sèches, des fruits jaunes, de la banane très mûre et un côté pâtissier en bel équilibre avec les fruits. La première bouche est douce, puis les arômes montent en puissance, fruits et côté végétal avec de la vanille et une petite douceur très agréable. Le tout tout à fait équilibré. La finale est plutôt longue sur les fruits, la vanille, le bois et une belle amertume.
Review by Basti
Beim ersten "Reinriechen" kam mir direkt Bratensoße in den Sinn. Natürlich ist es das Port-Fass, aber in der Form habe ich das bisher auch noch nie wahrgenommen. Dazu kommen getr. Früchte und es ist auch direkt durch die dezent grasigen Aromen auszumachen, dass es sich um ein Rum auf Zuckerrohrsaft-Basis handelt. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls sehr präsente Portwein Noten, leicht nussig, etwas Karamell, Gewürze, Traube und auch hier ist wieder herauszuschnecken, dass es sich um ein Destillat auf Zuckerrohrsaft-Basis handelt. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Righrum
Another surprise from Mauritius. Supposed to be sugarcane juice distilled in pot still, very little remains from the juice but the profile is still nice. A lot of influence from cask: on the nose port, plums and dried raisins, along with tobacco and caramel. Drinking, it's a bit rough and salty, and the barrel adds a bit of spices.
Review by Fuwi
Toller Rum, der in der Nase erst ein wenig stechend wirkt und ich hab bisschen Bedenken bekommen, ob der Alkohol gut eingebunden ist. Aber ob nach 5 oder 30min, der Geschmack ist wunderbar rund! Ausgeprägte Noten von Holz und Port, rote Früchte und Rosinen mit Schokolade - mega Kombination!
Review by Mopar Rules
very balanced on both nose and palate, well integrated ABV and a nice caramel layer on nose, palate and finish. The nose is quite complex while on the palate it’s more simple. Just had a bit of polish on the last sip; let me add this to the profile
Review by zabo
So now also the two 2010s from Gunnar his legendary Mauritius Split in the glass. Both are a lot of fun. For an Agricole, which I don't really prefer, it tastes extremely good to me. Seems to be due to the good tropical storage.
Review by primus
Wirklich schöne Aromen, bestehend aus roten Früchten und Fass. Geschmacklich eine tolle Tiefe und Komplexität mit sehr gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Wer sonst nur Rum auf Melassebasis trinkt kann hier Risikofrei in die Welt der Rums auf Zuckerrohrbasis einsteigen.
Review by Jakob
An der Nase zunächst etwas verhalten, mit mehr Luft aber filigran-ausgewogen. Präsentes Holz, Würze von grünem Pfeffer und Piment, Kakao, geröstete Nüsse und dezente Trockenfrüchte. Am Gaumen tritt die Würze in den Vordergrund, dazu Röstaromen, erneut dunkle Schokolade und Nussnoten. Intensiv-herb, aber nie ausser Balance. Ansprechendes Niveau.
Review by Johannes
Great complexity with wood, chocolate, tobacco, light sweetness.
