    How does Spirit of the day #3 La Reunion 2017 taste?

    Punchy, fruity Reunion cask strength
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like younger Savanna or Worthy Park‑style rums and don’t mind firm alcohol, this offers a similar mix of tropical fruit, buttered caramel and light brine at a fair price.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to high ABV or looking for soft, easy sippers with deep complexity; the alcohol and relatively lean body can feel harsh or thin.

    Aroma

    Fruity Young wood Tropical fruit Vanilla

    Taste

    Tropical fruit Woody Spicy Butterscotch

    There are good foundations, but I find this rum a little unstructured. It would have benefited from longer tropical aging. Its main negative point is the integration of alcohol. The attack on the palate is not obvious. What I liked was the fruitiness, the caramel aspect and the smoky vanilla touches. Given the price of some bottles of Savanna, it's a good buy.

    Auto-translated

    To describe it briefly and concisely, this bottling has a very poorly integrated alcohol. It overpowers pretty much everything on the nose and palate. Even after some time, there is not much more to it. Despite the alcohol, it seems a little watered down.

    Auto-translated

    Édit : nouvelle note dégustation : Au nez, je n’ai pas le bois patiné habituel de La Réunion, c’est déroutant. Par contre il y a des notes d’olives et de fruits murs qui ne semblent pas tromper. Un petit Savanna de derrière les fagots ? Surement, mais on ne le saura jamais ! Pas mal de beurre, une légère vanille. C’est très gourmand. En bouche, une réelle chauffe, qui s’estompe assez vite, heureusement, laissant place à une trame assez proche du nez, supplément fruits tropicaux, caramel au beurre. Le piquant du début de bouche a refait la part belle au beurre, et au fruits. C’est sacrément gourmand. L’espère d’un instant on pourrait croire à un petit Worthy Park low ester. Finale, entre fruits exotiques, bois léger, et onctuosité, mais plutôt de courte durée.

    Auto-translated

    The nose is ok, it's fruity and pleasant. You can taste there's something but it's overwhelmed by the alcohol. I don't get the reunion vibe. The finish is vegetal. Conclusion: Lack flavours for the proof.
