Alambic Le Galion Rare Single Cask Rum 2002

6.8/10 based on 11 community reviews ↓

A for-curious-explorers cane‑juice rum with a light Savanna‑style Grand Arôme touch. Expect citrus marmalade, honeyed wood, menthol and a slightly smoky, meaty note. Easy to sip but quite diluted in intensity, praised more for its unusual profile than for power or depth by 11 RumX reviewers.

Interesting but thin Le Galion sipper A for-curious-explorers cane‑juice rum with a light Savanna‑style Grand Arôme touch.

Zwar etwas dünn, aber geschmacklich sehr spannend und gut! Typischer Galion Profil, das in der Verdünnung schon fast Richtung Savanna geht.

Blind mit viel Nähe zu Savanna Grand Arômes, was aber natürlich auch bestens zum Le Galion Profil passt. Hier funktioniert auch die Reduktion, kommt für mich zwar nicht ganz an den schier unglaublichen Preisleistungskracher RX6593, trotzdem ein prima Release. Bleibt nur zu rätseln „Was wäre wenn…“ hier noch etwas mehr Prozente beibehalten worden wären…? Wir dürfen in Fantasien schwelgen.

Netter, unkompliziert trinkbarer Galion. Leider ist der reduzierte Alkoholgehalt dafür verantwortlich, dass sich das Aroma und Geschmack nicht intensiv genug durchsetzen. Bei 53% plus würde die Abfüllung locker die 80er Punktmarke überspringen, da alle Martinique typischen Trademarks vorhanden sind.

Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No2 Diese Süßlich weiche Nase erinnert mich etwas an "Courcelles" Vanille, Veilchen Kandierte Früchte ... geil !! Am Gaumen fällt er dann deutlich etwas ab ... ähnlich der Nase nur etwas Flach hier fehlt der ABV ganz deutlich... würde auf max. 45% und 4-6y tippen.

Johannes Bild Tasting. Besten Dank für diese Gelegenheit! 😊 Die Galions haben durchaus geschmackliche Parallelen zu einem Savann Grand Arome. So auch hier der Fall, minimal. Mehr ABV wäre bestimmt toll gewesen und hätte dem Rum etwas mehr Komplexität verliehen.

Blind Tasting #2: first sensation: citrus fruits/marmelade. With some time to breath I also get roasted bell peppers. Interesting. On the palate: honey and woodiness. Some grapes akin to a sweeter white wine. Cheers, Johannes for the set - was a blast to taste.
