Longueteau VSOP

"Mild, too gentle" is one honest take, and it tells you a lot: this is a soft, aged Guadeloupe agricole that rewards patience over punch. Vanilla leads, with banana, fresh sugarcane and a light woody edge, and a few tasters pull ripe apricot and mango from it. Give it a minute in the mouth — rush it and you miss most of the fruit.

Patience is rewarded with this rhum. Both the smell and the taste need some time to fully develop. If you swallow too quickly and then exhale with your mouth open, you have only yourself to blame, as you will miss most of the aromas. However, this fine drop is so smooth that you can easily hold it in your mouth for a minute, allowing it to fully unfold its fruity, beautiful aroma spectrum.

Mild, too gentle. Not so complex. Pleasent

A rather pleasant VSOP. No big surprise. Not disappointing either. The cane is still present on the nose. It accompanies vanilla and wood. A sensibly identical sensation on the palate. It's quite pleasant.
