Another very nice rum from this bottler. Woody and fruity from nose to finish. I really like the freshness and nutty and vanilla notes. An intense yet well balanced rum with a surprising finish of lightly smoked wood.

7.6/10

The nose is rather light but very pleasant. There are lovely citrus and anise notes typical of the distillery. A light vanilla woodiness and a surprising hint of smoke join the dance after a little rest. The nose is rather progressive and pleasant to discover. On the palate, the alcohol is fairly well integrated, and the fruit (mango and orange) is round and soft. But the woodiness is much more present than the nose suggested. It's almost toasted woodiness. The finish is rather short, too dry, with toasty-spicy notes.

A beautiful nose but a palate lacking pep, character, and length. It's elegant and soft, the tasting is pleasant but not incredible either.

Marie Galante 

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 420 Rums

Marie Galante is a small round island off Guadeloupe that punches far above its size in rum. Known as the island of a hundred windmills, it makes powerful, high-proof agricole, often bottled at 59 percent and up, from three working distilleries. For agricole lovers it is one of the most characterful corners of the French rum world.
