Aroma visualization from community tastings
Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L'Or 2005
Black pepper leads here, backed by oak, coffee, dark chocolate and roasted almonds, with red and dried fruit peeking through. It's an intense, oily Martinique agricole from La Mauny, bottled by Chantal Comte at cask strength. Most tasters call it complex and beautifully balanced — a few just wish the pepper eased off. One reviewer blind-tasted it and guessed Foursquare, not agricole.
The community says- Complex and balanced
- Oily, coating body

How does Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L'Or 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Intense, peppery, roasted agricole for sipping People rate this a very good, complex agricole with roasted, spiced depth. The recurring catch: it's peppery enough that some feel the wood spice tips over the top.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Le rhum agricole dans toute sa splendeur. Le profil olfactif est superbe, très équilibré et élégant. Il y a de nombreuses épices qui agrémentent le nez (vanille, poivre, cannelle, muscade) avec des notes torréfiées sur le chocolat noir, le café, les amandes et les noisettes. Le caramel ressort avec un côté pâtissier sur la praline et le sucre brun, tandis que les notes florales parfument les narines après aération. Les fruits, allant de la cerise aux raisins secs en passant par les fruits tropicaux, sont également de la partie. On retrouve une influence plus agricole que sur le Millésime 2006. L’attaque en bouche est intense, et pourtant subtile dans les saveurs. On retrouve le côté épicé, qui reste dominant en bouche, mais une pointe de tabac et d’amertume sur le chocolat noir, le café et les amandes viennent apporter un côté sec, presque tonique au palais. Le caramel, le nougat et les fruits (rouges et secs) confèrent un peu de douceur dans ce profil vif. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est très longue. On y décèle un côté légèrement herbacé et boisé, toujours agrémenté d’épices et d’un soupçon de gourmandise qui colle en arrière-bouche. S’il est un poil plus rustre que son comparse de 2006, il en reste pas moins un rhum autenthique, prestigieux et remarquablement bien structuré.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
We're tasting this one right now and we can all agree that it's a very good rum. We are however not entirely in sync on the nose and palate :-) The me the nose is full of spice mixed with some fresh cherries. Then comes almond and coffee with a nice oak finish. The palate is complex, intense and very well balanced with fruits, nougat and vanilla in the front. In the back i can get caramel, coffee and oak. The finish is very long with vanilla and toffee sliding into some barrel feel.
Review by cigares
On the nose, wood and solvent, papaya and banana, floral and herbaceous. Very complex, with all aromas harmoniously blended. The palate is calm on entry, with wood taking the lead, followed by the other aromas, ending with a magnificent finish in which all the flavors play their part. The empty glass brings further aromas of yellow fruit, pear and quince. A splendid rum, dense and austere, complex and full-bodied.
Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful nose. Oak dominates, followed by a great glue note and then fruit. Balanced, alcohol well integrated, fresh. In the mouth then a wild ride. Very peppery and powerful. Balanced again on the finish. Very good overall. A very good Agricole, but lacks the brilliant elegance of its two brothers. And meanwhile there is an abundance of similar Agricoles of comparable quality.
Review by Thunderbird
In der Nase noch recht zurückhaltend entwickelt der Rum am Gaumen sein volles Potential: ölig, cremig verteilt er sich und eine leichte holzige Bitterkeit macht sich breit! Immer neue feine Gewürznoten erscheinen… sehr komplex, am Ende wird er leicht grasig! Ein klasse Rum
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Déguste à l’aveugle je n’aurais jamais imaginé que c’était un agricole. Je suis parti sur un Foursquare! Milieu de bouche un poil décevant mais magnifique intégration de l’alcool.
Review by Nico Köppe
Wow, ein toller Agricole... Kraftvoll verströmt sein Duft aus dem Glas und das gepfefferte Profil gefällt mir sehr gut. Schönes Holz am Gaumen, absolut nicht störend.
Review by Dimitri Van Loo
Le nez est sur le vieux bois ciré amenant également une touche de gourmandise. L’attaque est vive et très épicée. Au final, on retrouve un peu plus les arômes du nez.
Review by Peder Frits Nielsen
One of my personal Top-three rums - fantastic appearance and a fantastic taste. I’m fortunate enough to have one of these bottles in my Rum-cupboard
Review by L' Art Rhumiste
D'une grande classe et d'une maîtrise totale, ce 2005 est magnifique avec un équilibre parfait et d'une complexité folle. Un grand coup de cœur ❤️
Review by Mike H.
87 points. Lovely nose and mouth. I would have liked a little more dried fruit and less pepper. But a very good rum nonetheless.
Review by Silas Noergaard
Intensely Intense Explosions of flavors, but maybe a touch too much of wood spice and pepper. A nice dram.
Review by Oliver
Toller Agricole mit ordentlich Power. Etwas zu viel Pfeffer im Abgang für eine Top-Bewertung.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un profil un peu trop sombre et amer à mon goût mais ça reste un bon rhum.
Review by alex
Superbe, légère amertume mais ça reste subtil. Quel régal en tout cas 😍
