Rivière du Mât Arrangé - Vanille des Tropiques
Best over a cube of ice on a warm day, this Reunion arrangé is all vanilla and sweet cream toffee. A couple of tasters found it refreshing sipped slow with ice or a slice of lemon; more found it cloying, with one member flagging the vanilla as "overpowering." At 35% it barely reads as rum — think sweet vanilla infusion first, spirit second.
The community says- Full vanilla flavor
- But: Too sweet for many
- But: Vanilla overpowering

Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Very sweet vanilla infusion, needs ice Divides people sharply: a few enjoy it cold with ice and lemon, but several call it far too sweet and vanilla-heavy — closer to a dessert liqueur than rum.

Review by Vincent D
Écoeurant, tant au nez qu'en bouche. C'est tellement sucré ! Trois glaçons sont nécessaires pour diluer le tout. Franchement, c'est une tannée de devoir boire cette boisson. Pourquoi ces rhums arrangés sont ils aussi sucrés ???
Review by LE Wutiss
Very good arranged rum with a touch of vanilla that goes very well with a slice of lemon.
