The surprise here is how much flavor sits in a 45% bottle — several tasters expected thin and got the opposite. Expect orange and sour gooseberry, chocolate and nougat, oak and warm spice like nutmeg and anise, with a light eucalyptus note in the back. A blend of molasses rum and cane-juice agricole that reads more traditionnel than grassy, and drinks round and easy.

How does Isautier Rhum Louis & Charles Edition taste?
Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.
Spicy, citrus-and-chocolate Réunion sipper Most find it balanced and layered for the low ABV — a genuinely nice sipper. A couple felt it thin next to the older bottles in the range and pricey for a young one.

This Isautier surprises me... and in a very positive way! Despite the low ABV, it offers plenty of aromas of tart fruit, chocolate, spices and a little wood on the nose and palate. A really good sipper. The dilution has definitely been successful here

Very interesting. Some rubber, tar, tea. Hardly any Agricole tones in the nose or palate. However, recognizable on the finish. The fruitiness gives way to dirty tones as the glass progresses. Not a world class rum but a nice experience.
Review by Frank
Despite only 45%, this Isautier has a very beautiful, multi-layered bouquet. Nose: delicately spicy and pleasantly woody. In addition to the spice of nutmeg and caraway, it has a very soft sweetness of nougat and chocolate. There are also delicate fruity notes of gooseberry, blackcurrant and orange. Everything closes wonderfully with herbs and a fine eucalyptus note. 8,4 The impressions from the nose are similar on the palate: spicy and woody, with nutmeg and caraway, plus a slight peppery note. Clearly fruity, bitter orange peel with tart gooseberry. An impression of hay, saffron and a hint of eucalyptus at the back. It doesn't need a higher ABV and that is a sign of quality. 8,0

Review by zabo
In today's comparison, RX5826 and RX19571 went head to head. Neither really convinced me, although in my opinion the bottling from Swell de Spirits is the better of the two.
Review by Boletus
This blend of molasses rum and agricole is consistently harmonious, round, and invites carefree sipping, with the mouthfeel never watery or weak. With a bit more attention, the rum also reveals itself as nicely complex with notes of herbs, spices, chocolate, fruits, and not exaggerated oak. Really like it!
Review by Johannes
For the low proof surprisingly much flavor. Wood, citrus, red fruits. Reminds me a lot of a Bellevue from Guadeloupe.
Review by Timo Groeger
Somehow it doesn’t feel like a typical Agricole. On the nose we mainly have vanilla and caramel, also some wood and spice. On the palate it’s quite similar to the nose, with a slight sweetness in the form of chocolate.
Review by Jakob
Balanced profile with fresh citrus fruits, heavy sweetness of stone fruit and nougat, hay, chocolate, oak wood as well as subtle pepper, allspice and anise. Appealing, harmonious aroma play that pleases with diverse flavor nuances.
Review by Godspeed
Quite light compared to the Alfred and certainly compared to the Antoinette. This is the youngest of the three and it shows in comparison. For 94€ there are frankly far better rums to be had. That being said the flavor is well integrated and the mix of rhum traditionnel and agricole is generally successful, it’s just a bit expensive for what it is.
