Rivière du Mât Single Cask 2003
Sip this one neat after dinner — it's light on its feet at 46% but leans woody and spiced. Tasters find baked apple, tobacco and cigar-box on the nose, then exotic fruit (papaya, mango, apricot) and caramel on a fresh, slightly minty palate. A 15-year molasses rum from Reunion that "changes from the usual agricole," as one French member put it. Dry, woody finish.
The community says- Fruity and spiced
- Cigar-box tobacco

How does Rivière du Mât Single Cask 2003 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Light, spiced, woody after-dinner sipper Well-liked as a light, fruity, spiced after-dinner pour with real complexity for the age. A few tasters wished it were bottled at cask strength; the finish reads a touch dry and bitter for some.

Tasted at Spirits Days in Tournai, quick notes: Nose: aged wood, dried fruit, vanilla, banana Palate: pastry, apricot, brown sugar finish In short: 70€ a bottle for 15 years? crazy! clearly underpriced?

Very green and vegetal rum. I find this rum very special but also very light .... It's a bit of a shame, I would be curious to taste the same one but in raw cask.
Review by Julien Ries
The nose welcomes us with baked apple, with quite fine woodiness. It's a rather round rum, quite fruity and spicy. We notice aromas of vanilla and cardamom, quite a bit of cooking spices. This nose evolves towards a cigar box with this classy tobacco. The fruitiness is more on yellow fruits: peach, quince. The palate is discreet in alcoholic strength, with quite a lot of exotic fruits: papaya, mango, passion fruit. The whole is quite fresh, a bit mentholated. The finish brings us back to tobacco leaves and woodiness. All in a quite nice complexity. The finish is medium-plus in length, continuing on this tobacco, this ship's hold style woodiness, and these exotic fruits. A good after-dinner rum that differs from agricole with solid assets and an excellent quality-price ratio considering its age.

01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 Price to quality is very good on this release. Medium fruity with nice floral notes. The palate is lightly dry and fruity with nice caramel. The finish is medium long and medium dry with wood and caramel.

Aroma:Alcoholic-sweet, round with toffee.Aromas of chestnuts,tobacco, oranges and chocolate.Taste:Light, fresh and spicy with some caramel pudding in the mouth.Pleasant spicy-woody when swallowed Tastes like cake batter and licorice.Finish:Medium length, dry, woody and faintly bitter.Conclusion:Absolutely delicious and pleasant. Only the aftertaste is too dry and bitter for me.
Review by Thefrenchagave
Rivière du Mât Single Cask offers a nice balance with woody and spicy notes. A pleasant rum to drink, well made, but it didn't leave as strong an impression on me as others. A good discovery.
Review by Léo Delek
Very spicy rum with some floral and fruity notes. It's a pleasure because it's a change from what I usually taste. Pot pourri, pear, caramel...
Review by Pavel Spacek
