Alte Tabakstube (Stuttgart) Le Galion Martinique Grand Arôme 2023

Sipped neat at 58,8%, this is a wild ride: overripe fruit and nail-polish ester up front, then a curtain of smoke, olive, bacon and cheese with a dry, acidic bite. Several tasters landed on "cheese and workshop" and meant it as praise. The alcohol hides well — many guessed 50% — but the sour, meaty umami is the star, and it isn't for everyone.

The community says
  • Huge ester complexity
  • Smoky-meaty depth
  • But: Sharp acidity

The look inside the bottle

How does Alte Tabakstube (Stuttgart) Le Galion Martinique Grand Arôme 2023 taste?

Aggregated from 39 community reviews.

Wild smoky, meaty Grand Arôme ester bomb A love-it crowd: most call it intensely complex, dry and beautifully integrated for the proof. One taster flatly can't drink it — the smoky, sour-cheese profile isn't universal.

Perfect for

Ester hunters who love smoky, savory, funky rum

Less suitable for

Anyone put off by sour, meaty, smoky notes

I personally can't drink it😃 sweet, super sour, salty, smoky and fermented/fermented. Quite a wild number and unfortunately not my cup of tea! Especially this sweet and sour cheese note doesn't go down well with me, sorry! 😃🫣

Calendrier de l’Avant RumX, jour 11. Un nez chaud d’esters et de fruits, de la banane, du vieux bois verni et un côté goudron d’isolation. Les fruits attaquent en premier en bouche, mais ils disparaissent assez vite laissant la place au vieux bois verni recouvert de goudron d’isolation avec un côté fumé prononcé. La finale ajoute encore une couche d’amertume de plus en plus forte. Tout à la fin de la douceur tempère ces amers et redonne de l’équilibre.

Blind tasting 11.12.2024 Nose: Glue, resin, dirty, orange Palate: whisky, smoky, cough syrup, eucalyptus Finish: Medium length, smoky, whisky, orange, eucalyptus Alcohol 58% Score 9.0 Tip: Bellevue 1998 ----------- Wow, what a crazy nose: cheese, nuts, dried fruit... immediately reminds me of Clairin but has much more! The palate is again very unusual: soft, spicy, sweet licorice, medicinal, a little dirt. This is a rum completely off the beaten track and off the beaten track! The wild aromas are beautifully framed by a subtle barrel note. The medium-long finish fades with beautiful roasted aromas and then I suddenly notice a very distant hint of eucalyptus! The cheese note lingers until the end 😁 Reminds me of the whisky from Säntis Dreifaltigkeit, great stuff! I suspect this rum will divide opinion widely. I like it very much! Thanks Oliver for the sample!

RumX Advent Calendar Day 11 Nose... Very fruity, gummy bears, strawberries chewing gum sweet, cherries some fruit esters. Palate... At first very fruity, ester strawberries and cherry, shortly afterwards it changes significantly to dry, salty, woody bitter almost musty, developing excellent spiciness and a very complex effect. Finish Nutty and chocolate.

Zumindest mal eine sehr spannende Abfüllung mit komplexen Aromenprofil. Sehr fruchtig nach Erdbeere und Kirsche. Holzig, rauchig, leicht speckig und vergoren. Dazu recht viel Säure, aber es kommt auch wieder das Sherry-Fass durch. Auf jeden Fall interessant, aber mir reicht davon ein 2cl Sample.

RumX Adventskalender 2024, türe 11 Krasses Teil mit viel Savannah Grand Arome Charakter und auch ein paar High Ester Ling Pond Momenten. Beides scheint mir aber nicht ganz stimmig und ich bin ratlos. Toll vielfältig mit Frucht, Speck, Olive, Rauch und etwas Säure. Und schön trocken am Gaumen. Toll, einen gereiften Le Galion hatte ich noch nicht. Gefällt mir 👌

7.7/10

Sehr fruchtig in der Nase. Kirsche und Ananas. Karamell. Sehr rauchig, Politur und alte Komode. Gut balanciert und gute Alkoholintegration. Im Mund dann sehr pelzig, scharf. Lösemittel, Holz. Hatte ich gesagt pelzig? Kurzer, funky Abgang. Ananas und Birne. Handwerklich sicher top. Die rauchige Nase find ich toll. Aber ich ahnte es schon: An einem Schaffell zu nuckeln ist nicht mein Fall. 🐑🐑🐑 80er Range fürs Handwerk und die Nase, 50er (für Angenehm in den 60er reicht es nicht für das Mundgefühl).
