Reunion-island fans who like their island floral character wrapped in real oak will feel at home here. The nose drifts from florals and thyme through cardamom and nutmeg into candied citrus and marmalade; the palate turns herbal and dry, with citrus, dried fruit and spice trading places before the wood takes over. At 58% the alcohol reads mostly integrated, though a couple of tasters found it fading toward the finish.

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Floral, woody Reunion sipper that dries out late Ratings land around 8/10, with the floral-woody Reunion profile the draw. A few note it goes decrescendo — the nose promises more than the dry finish delivers.

Antoinette: woody with vanilla, somewhat bitter, sweet on the finish. Not particularly complex. A woody easy sipper. The finish is medium-length and the best part of the rum. Apollonie: softer, also sweet, with a vegetal and herbal touch. Overall more complex, tasty. Elise: This one has the most intense nose so far, which continues on the palate. Here the dark and red fruits come out more clearly than in the previously tasted ones. Also tasty. Aventurier: this is really nothing. Reminds more of a young Foursquare. Poorly integrated alcohol. aventurier bdf: almost 80% abv. Sounds promising, but here it shows comparatively tame and boring. The alcohol is well integrated, but unfortunately no aroma spectacle. Expected more here. Audacieux bdf: Better, the 73% abv are very well integrated, oily, warm, woody with dark fruits on the palate. The finish disappoints. The tasting was a sobering experience, maybe I just have too high expectations when I see Isautier. My favorites remain by a large margin the bottlings from Velier and Swell.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A traditional Isautier with fairly full and varied aromas, the nose taking a journey between floral notes and thyme, then making a stopover on spices (cardamom, nutmeg) before landing at its destination in tropical fruit, candied citrus and marmalade, all with a sweet, honeyed edge to boot. An olfactory journey that makes you want to return. The attack on the palate is a little more choppy, with herbaceous notes first, followed by citrus, dried and exotic fruits, before woody and spicy notes take over and finish the dance. There's a touch of alcohol on the cognac that lingers on the palate. The alcohol is fairly well integrated. The finish completes the harmony of aromas, with a predominance of herbal and spicy notes that leave a certain dryness on the palate (also partly due to the tannins). Dried and shelled fruits make themselves quite small at the end of this gustatory journey. A good cuvée from Isautier with undeniable qualities, but the profile seems to decrescendo as the tasting progresses, unfortunately.
Review by Rodolphe
Tasted live, I found it nice, more so than the Agricole version. I rediscovered the floral profile that I find so typical of Reunion Island, but with a marked woodiness. I thought it would make a good competitor to some Savannas.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = the nose is light with ripe fruits like orange, apricot and coconut, a well-present woodiness and vanilla. 👄 = the vigor of the 58% ABV quickly gives way to exotic fruits, the indulgence of molasses with milk chocolate and a long spicy finish with a bit of licorice.
Review by Thomas Renoud
Nose : you smell the alcohol, floral, grassy Mouth : in line with the nose, very dry Final : medium, fresh, might be my favorite part
