Review by mto75
Blend aus 65% red cane / 35% blue cane, gereift in Ex-Cognac- und neuen frz. Eichefässern. An der Nase pflanzliche Noten, Fass, Nougat (röstig-nussig), Feige, säuerliches Obst (Sternfrucht). Am Gaumen kräftig, süß-würzig, Fass, Tannine. Nicht schlecht, aber ich hatte mir bei dem ganzen Aufwand, der hier betrieben wurde, ein bisschen mehr erhofft.
Review by Dr.Django
Typische Agricole Aromen an Nase und Gaumen. Junges Holz, Zitrusfrüchte, getrocknetes Obst, Fasseinfluss (Cognac). Im Abgang komplexer mit bitteren Röstaromen und dunkler Schokolade. Ein guter Agricole, aber absolut unspektakulär. Hatte mir hier wesentlich mehr erhofft.
Review by Stefan Persson
This 4yo Longueteau single cask rum from the Esperance Distillery in Guadeloupe is released to celebrate the companionship with the Maison de l'Hédonisme. It’s made from a blend of two distillates distilled in 2016, 65% Red Cane and 35% Blue Cane. It’s first aged in old cognac barrels and thereafter in new French oak barrels whereafter it’s bottled in 290 bottles. The nose is fruity, woody and sweet with scents of varnish, raspberry, honey, vanilla and some licorice. At the palate it’s fruity and woody with flavors of guava, gooseberry and pastry. The finish is medium long, dry and woody with an acidic flavor.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégustation à la mer en plein vent, Pas simple, un jus sympa mais assez typique des vieux agricoles je pense, le cognac ajoute un petit plus sans que ce soit exceptionnel. Il y a quand même de belles notes de noisettes, noix, poire, des épices / poivre en fin de bouche, un bon moment, vif, mais assez éphémère.

Geht wieder in die nussige Richtung.
Review by Djehey
Profil agréable et varié où on y retrouve un peu de tout. Du fruit, de l'agricole, de la gourmandise. Néanmoins il aurait gagné à vieillir davantage pour avoir davantage de rondeur. Ou peut être une petite réduction lui aurait fait du bien...?
Review by Fabulon
Joli nez, quelques agrumes bien murs légèrement acidulés, de la poire, des traces de fruits secs et de fruits rouges, soutenu par un boisé léger et des clous de girofle. Petite vivacité en entrée de bouche avec les agrumes, puis une belle gourmandise avec les fruits séchés (datte et figues). Léger boisé et épices légères en fin de bouche. Finale malheureusement assez courte, légère amertume, on sent bien le cognac également. Dommage que la finale ne soit pas plus soutenue. Au final un joli rhum, bien fait et agréable, mais rien de passionnant.
Review by Righrum
It's a matter of fact, aged longueteau never get high scores in my tastings. This one makes no difference. A sirup-y nose driven by cognac and fruits (pear) but yet fresh. Silly but working more on the nose than the palate, same traits just worst alcohol integration.
