One taster called this "a piece of rum history" — an extinct style worth trying if you're a nerd about this stuff. It's dark and roasted with molasses that just keeps going, and several drinkers said it reminds them more of Guyana or old Demerara than a typical Martinique. A little bitter, a touch one-dimensional, but genuinely interesting in the glass.
The community says- Endless molasses
- Rare vintage style
- But: Slightly one-dimensional

How does Saint Gilles Compagnie du Rhum 50's taste?
Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.
Dark, roasted, molasses-heavy old-style rum People taste more Guyana than Martinique here — dark, roasted, molasses-heavy. Loved by enthusiasts for the rare old style, though a few found it a bit thin and one-note.

Nice profile, but bottled a bit too weak.

Reminds me of Guyana with a bit of Savanna. Dark, roasted. But also somewhat one-dimensional. Still a smooth story.
Review by Nivius
Totally reminded me of the 7-year-old MoonImport Enmore Ehp - although it was weaker compared to what I remember - but I'm sure it was this rum that others also attribute Demerara notes to. I would definitely like to have a bottle of it and was very happy to try it at the rum fest :3 so if anyone here wants to get rid of one <-- write me 😇
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tried at the 12th GRF: Once again a piece of rum history, an extinct style. As a nerd, you should have tried it. Reminds a bit of Guyana, dark, roasted. The molasses is very noticeable.
Review by Jakob
Beautiful Martinique with classic Grand-Arôme hints. A bit bitter on the palate, but very pleasant to drink.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super tasty unusual vintage Martinique rum that I would have guessed blind as more Guyana style. Good 40%, unusually aromatic and strong with an intense molasses aroma. Nice surprise!
