Most people land on "pleasant but not exciting" here — a caramel-and-coconut Saint Lucia pot still that's easy to sip without asking much of you. Expect toffee, roasted almonds, dried apricot and a touch of toasted oak. Several note it's fairly restrained on sugar, so more flavour comes through. The 45% shows more heat than the number suggests, and a couple of tasters found it a bit thin on the finish.

How does Dugas La Maison du Rhum #3 2012 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Easy caramel-and-coconut daily sipper A likeable everyday sipper leaning on caramel and roasted notes. Most rate it decent rather than memorable — a few feel the flavour doesn't fully cover the alcohol.

Compared to the Plantation Extreme with a bit more Alcohol this is mild and tempered, but very similar. Taste wise it's more muted, but I do not have to manage any alcohol burn. Also the cask, spice and roasted fruit is quite present and nice. A sipper for easy days.

Not much aftertaste. Not enough flavor to mask the alcohol.
Review by Galli33
This is a very lovely daily sipper. BTW thi is my first St. Lucia. It’s not my favorite but it’s OK. Nose: Coconut, dried prunes, dried apricot, peaches (first impression was Icetea(peaches)when i openend the sample) paired with roated almonds, dark chocolate and sweet toffee. Mouth: Very balanced dry and delicious. Here you’ll find the same tastes but a bit more sweeter. I found some notes of mocha and a clear toated barrel too. The alcohol is very present for 45% only. Finish: Medium long: dry and fruity. You’ll find the roasted almonds, dried prunes, dried apricot and caramel again. With a nice taste of the toasted barrel.
Review by Michael Turner
Simple St. Lucia, hardly any fruitiness or medicinal notes, rather carried by caramel and wood. Good for casual drinking with a cigar. Alcohol is quite noticeable for 45%. There are better ones from this island.
Review by Johan Larsson
Nice. A lot of caramel, or actually a but spicy caramel.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Pretty nice but Reunion is better for example
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Decent rum. This specific release from LMDR have minimum “dosage”. Less stupid sweetness - more flavour. Simple.
