Cusenier Rhum Rico Martinique 1960s
"A part of history," as one member put it — a 1960s Martinique bottling that nobody at the table quite knew how to score. The signature is a big orange note, so pronounced that several tasters suspect it was flavored rather than pure rum. Under that sits caramel, banana and a touch of varnish, and it drinks sweet and very easy, almost cocktail-like. A curiosity more than an everyday pour.
The community says- Intense orange note
- Easy, cocktail-like
- But: Tastes too sweet

How does Cusenier Rhum Rico Martinique 1960s taste?
Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.
Sweet, orange-heavy vintage curiosity A genuine oddity. Most enjoy the intense orange and soft sweetness, but several suspect it's been helped along and call it a borderline case rather than straight rum.

Intense orange note. In my opinion, not just rum, something was probably added flavor-wise. The pairing with the orange influence works very well for me and creates an extremely easy-drinking, cocktail-like profile with a present rum base. I like it, but it's a borderline flavor-wise.

First of all, very difficult to classify this one. Luckily got to try it again from Jakob before he packed the rest of the bottle at the Catawiki booth. Definitely interesting. But the orange note seems a bit artificial.

Not too bad a rum and one i have never seen before. We couldn't really agree on how to score this one but still it's a part of history 😊
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
For the quality back then, exceptionally good. Thanks Jakob for the opportunity! Great fruit, alcohol well integrated, unusually orangey.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 12th GRF at Catawiki: intense orange, overall very sweet, but an exciting release
