For curious explorers, this 10-year Montebello agricole bridges rum and bourbon vibes: woody, spicy and candied-fruit over sugarcane and brown sugar. At 42%, it’s accessible yet characterful, praised by RumX members.

Thinking about the price you get a good deal here. Very well rounded and intense rum. In order to release its full flavours you need to rest this rum for at least 15 minutes and I fond that it was best after 30 minutes. The oak is taking the front seat here without being too dominant.

A very nice surprise. Perfectly balanced nose between spicy, fruit, and wood. A bit peppery, a note of smoked cocoa. Balanced palate, indulgent. Still the candied fruit, the pepper, a caramelized touch, a bit of mocha. Very long finish for the strength, on wood and oak.

A surprising proposal and an interesting bridge between rum and bourbon, which you feel throughout the tasting. A little candy of indulgence and a fairly low proof make it accessible to a wider audience.
