Sip this one neat and let it sit — the bourbon-cask aging shows up as dark wood, tobacco and dried fruit, with enough caramel and vanilla to round off the dry edge. Tasters catch red fruit, spice and an earthy, leathery finish that lingers. One reviewer swore it drank like it was over 50%, though it's 42%. A wood-forward agricole, not a sweet one.

How does Trois Rivières 12 Years - Carafe taste?
Summarized by AI from 50 community reviews.
Dry, woody agricole with tobacco and red fruit Well-liked as a wood-and-tobacco agricole with red-fruit and caramel balance. A few feel it's less complex than pricier Trois Rivières bottlings, but most call it a rich, honest pour.

La Route des Rhums Advent Calendar 2023 No. 7. Here a 42% Trois Rivières from Martinique. I find the nose very refreshing, somehow funky, also woody and a bit of vanilla. On the palate mostly wood, barrel and spices, but very tasty.

Whisky Live Paris 2024 Messetasting. Limited time spent in the glass, initial impressions from tasting.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Trois Rivières slightly more aromatic than the 1999 vintage. Earthy tobacco notes mingle with the sugarcane, dried fruit and sweet spices on the nose. The palate is suave, bordered by spices and caramel, the latter bringing a great deal of sweetness to the juice. The finish doesn't really bring out any additional aromas, but is relatively long and faithful to the structure on the nose and palate. It's not the most complex of the Trois Rivières, but it's a cut above some of the more "prestigious" cuvées on paper.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
When looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A well balanced rum with nice fruits and spices. The wood is well balanced with the caramel and earthy notes. The empty glass has some sugarcane and apple.
Review by Rodolphe
Very similar to its counterpart the 1999, it comes close (and is probably cheaper) because it's strongly marked by its Bourbon cask aging. It's a nice product but I prefer other agricoles I've tasted at the fair in the same range. (Though this was a quick tasting in a not ideal place, it should be compared with the 99 under better conditions)
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is full-bodied and perfumed, with slightly unripe red fruits, dark wood, a bit of tobacco, and at the back even something like coffee and milk chocolate. On the palate the red fruits(especially black cherry and raspberry) blend with an intense and full-bodied woodiness, at times pungent, and extremely delicious. The finish also adds some tobacco, apple, round spices and a slightly earthy hint. It seems to have +50°. It leaves the mouth flavored with a woody, corky aftertaste for more than half an hour after finishing drinking. Very good contrast between the sweetness of the Bourbon cask and the dryness of the wood, fully reflecting the 3R profile that I personally love. It seems the 2006CS more diluted and less complex. In the empty glass wood, slight roast, tobacco. Fluctuates between 9.1 and 9.2

C’est un bon rhum mais avec un mauvais rapport qualité prix je trouve. Goût boisé agréable et assez doux en bouche. La finale est assez longue mais n’apporte rien de plus.
Review by Julien Jean'Mich
One of my favorite rums. A top quality-price ratio. The nose takes you into wood and nicely rounded spices. The mouth is woody, with tobacco and spices, a bit fruity too, an agricole all in roundness and very flattering. An average but very pleasant finish nonetheless. Trois Rivières makes a rum that is worth much more than many overrated rums. I highly recommend it.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Avent 2023. Très bon vieux avec la complexité et la richesse de son âge. Le nez est riche dense et profond sur le caramel-vanille avec des épices su cuir et un peu de bois. En bouche tout se retrouve en gourmandise cuir cigare pruneaux, le boisé léger, avec presque une sucrosité. La longueur est moyenne à longue, toujours tabac épices , et réglisse. Une réussite.
Review by laudhar
An elegant nose where fruits, spices and wood blend.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
12 let zrání. S 8,3 z 10 jde o velmi dobrou lahev, byť ne špičku mého žebříčku.
Review by jazz8751
Assez sec. On goûte le tabac et le côté boisé.
