Montebello ZENGA BLACK EDITION (Canne Noire) 2022
Made for people who already love a proper canne noire agricole and don't flinch at 60%. Fresh-cut sugarcane and lime up front, then a peppery, oily, faintly bitter turn — black pepper, star anise, licorice, a twist of grapefruit. Full-proof heat is real, so a splash of water or a ti'punch tames it. One taster went through the bottle in a single evening.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane
- Oily and complex
- But: Hot at 60%

How does Montebello ZENGA BLACK EDITION (Canne Noire) 2022 taste?
Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Peppery, grassy canne noire at full proof A well-liked canne noire that fans of the style rate highly — grassy, oily and complex. A couple find it a touch bitter and hot, but that's the character talking.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a great Agricole Blanc with typical Montebello aromas and tastes. It’s distilled in January 2022 at the Carrere Distillery and bottled one year later after a year's rest in vats at 60% in 12000 bottles. It’s named after the ZENGA rooster which is considered the leader of the barnyard in the West Indies.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
An exciting combination for a Canne Noir of black pepper, plenty of star anise, licorice, bitter pink grapefruit and bitter orange as well as minimal chili. I don't really like it in the ti Punch and overall I find it a little too alcoholic and bitter. All in all, however, a good bottling for fans of canne noir.

#4545 13.01.2020 Relaxing at home. A pretty good release. Fresh and fruity with an oily palate that is spicy and medium dry. The finish is medium to long and spicy with some added licorice.
Review by TheJackDrop
Wisky Live 2023, quick tasting session! Surely a fine copy of the Bologna black cane, but is it worth the original? Not sure.
