The Montebello that finally clicked for people who'd been lukewarm on the range — one taster called it the first one that made him "vibrate." An aged Guadeloupe agricole with orange blossom, buttered brioche and gingerbread on the nose, then honey, sugarcane and mango on a round palate. At 48.2% it drinks dangerously easy for the proof, though a couple of members note the alcohol and a little bitterness poke through.

How does Montebello Brut de Fût #1 2017 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Round, honeyed cask-strength Guadeloupe agricole Widely liked as the release that lifts Montebello — the cask-strength version wins over regulars, with one or two flagging some heat and bitterness at full proof.

Tasted this rum at the hotel bar in Le Gosier during my recent visit to Guadeloupe as well as at the distillery and I had to buy me bottle to take home. This vintage 2017 Brut de Fut is aged for six years in ex-bourbon barrels. I really like their rather new Brut de Fut releases as a compliment to their regular range that nowadays are editions instead of vintage rum as it was earlier. The nose is complex, balanced, fresh, sweet, flowery, woody and fruity with scents of gingerbread, sugarcane, citrus but also hints of smoke and nuts. At the palate it’s complex, balanced, round, soft, fresh, woody, sweet and fruity with flavors of honey, sugarcane, caramel, mango and lemon. The finish is rather long.

Hotel School Salon: gourmand nose, raw palate, alcohol present with persistent spices hence a bit of bitterness. Re-tasted at the cellar anniversary at Vieux, I raise the score, less bitterness and a bit more character.

Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to review and deepen. I preferred chatting rather than taking notes, but really for me, the first Montebello that makes me vibrate :) Probably the effect of the raw cask.
Review by Léo Delek
Yo bros, Montebello - brut de fût 6 years 2017 - 🇬🇵 - 48.2% Blend of 2017 rums aged for almost 6 and a half years. You find orange blossom, buttery brioche, all lifted by vanilla, wood, and roasted almond notes. Banana makes a little appearance on the palate with other fruits, making it a very "glug-glug" rum despite the proof. Cheers!
