S.B.S French Antilles Grand Arome Bourbon Cask 2019
"Typical Grand Arôme wildness, rounded off by the extra years" is how one member sums it up, and that's the read. Overripe, almost rotting tropical fruit on the nose — pineapple, passion fruit, candied ester sweetness — with a little smoke and a meaty, salty edge on the finish. At 60.8% the alcohol sits well integrated. Several tasters like the profile a lot but note it stays a touch narrow.

How does S.B.S French Antilles Grand Arome Bourbon Cask 2019 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Rounded high-ester French Antilles, ripe tropical fruit A well-liked ester-forward release the five years have clearly softened. The recurring gripe: enjoyable and balanced, but a bit one-dimensional, short on real depth.

#7199 22.08.2026 Time for some samples. Today's training on the bike is done and maybe I'll take a walk later. Listening to some ice tracks by Astrix on Spotify. Very ice Grand Arome that packs a punch and also has a good price tag in my mind. Intense profile with glue, polish, olive, salt, fruits, spice, roasted wood and some caramel.

Sweet, ester-forward, and quite aromatic, the rum shows intense notes of confectionery, kiwi, and tropical fruits. The taste is characterized by clearly sweet ester aromas and candied fruit accents. Despite the cask strength, the profile feels a bit tight, lacking depth and complexity. Overall, an approachable pour with pleasant freshness but without much individuality.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Aromatically, it's typical Galeon wildness, but rounded out by longer aging. It reminds me a bit of Clairin in its otherness. Taste-wise, it's great. The extra years definitely help. The body is beautifully fruity. On the finish, the flavour moves into overripe fruit, smokiness, smokiness and a kind of meaty saltiness.
Review by Jakob
Typical high-ester nose with rich tropical fruits, which get some spicy-sweet flavor companions from the cask. On the palate, the aroma play of the nose repeats but is complemented by subtle smoky notes. A good release, appealing, balanced, well-integrated alcohol. An accessible representative of the Grand Arôme spectrum, but in my opinion lacking a unique selling point.
Review by Johannes
I really like the profile - but it is certainly very special!
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2019, in bourbon cask. I rate it 8.6 out of 10, an excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.
Review by Richard Krupa
In aroma of strong overripe to rotten fruit, taste more delicate than I would have expected
