Review by Lawich Lowaine
Super bally avec un profil assez complexe.Un nez sur le vernis et les fruits tropicaux. Un moment d’histoire partagé. Super
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un grand rhum agricole, gourmand et très complexe. On retrouve tout le savoir-faiee martiniquais
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è intenso e ricco con vernice, legno, frutti rossi e tropicali, zucchero bruciato, pelle e spezie, rappresenta appieno il profilo tipico e la personalità della distilleria. Al palato è corposo e molto rotondo, tendente al secco con frutti rossi acerbi, legno, pelle, spezie e una nota dolce sul finale che persiste a lungo, ma nel retrogusto prevale il legno, davvero squisito e all'altezza dei prodotti più recenti nonostante abbia solo 45%
