Manutea Très Vieux Rhum Agricole VSOP 2015

Curious agricole drinkers who want something gentle rather than grassy will get on with this Tahitian VSOP. The nose leans vanilla and florals; the palate turns woody with anise, fennel and a touch of dried fruit from the Banyuls cask. It's round and easy at 41%, more pastry-sweet than sharp. Fans of the softer style enjoy it; a couple of tasters found the spirit itself a bit plain underneath.

Super sympa ! Clairement un rhum pour les amateurs, ou les débutants, on a de la vanille, de la canne, de l’anis. Le nez est super vanille, la bouche plutôt sur l’anis. La finale est un peu courte mais bon, c’est super gourmand et facile à boire.

I really don’t feel like there’s much going on here. It’s very straightforward with more woody and spice notes. It has a nice floral smell which is fairly round but the taste fell flat for me. Maybe I’m just spoiled with tasting cask strength stuff.

Pleasant rum, I find the markers of manutea VO. A pastry rum, well rounded in the mouth. Long finish for this alcohol level.

It’s just ok. It’s not bad, just not a lot going on. Leans towards the aged wood characteristics but the spirit itself seems pretty simple.
