Isautier Rhum Louis & Charles Edition
Surprising how much it packs at just 45%. It's a blend of molasses rum and agricole from Isautier, leaning more spice-and-wood than grassy: orange, vanilla, caramel, nutmeg, chocolate and a touch of anise. Several tasters call out sour fruit, eucalyptus in the back, and a body that never feels watery. One member compared it to a Guadeloupe Bellevue. A "bon rhum vieux" most found easy to like.
- Big flavor, low ABV
- Spice and chocolate
- Round, not watery

How does Isautier Rhum Louis & Charles Edition taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Spicy, woody Reunion blend with citrus Most people enjoy this rounded, spicy blend and are surprised by how much flavor it carries at low ABV. A few find the youngest of the range a bit light and not quite essential.

Review by Thunderbird
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
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 Boletus
Diese Mischung aus Melasse-Rum und Agricole ist in sich durchweg stimmig, rund und verleitet zum unbeschwerten Süffeln, wobei das Mundgefühl zu keinem Zeitpunkt wässrig oder lasch ist. Bei etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit entpuppt sich der Rhum zudem als hübsch komplex mit Noten von Kräuter, Gewürzen, Schokolade, Früchten und nicht übertriebener Eiche. Gefällt mir echt gut!

Bonne surprise !
Review by Johannes
Für die niedrigen Prozent erstaunlich viel Geschmack. Holz, Zitrus, rote Früchte. Erinnert mich sehr an einen Bellevue von Guadeloupe.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
14.10.2018 Nice little get together with new rum friends. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: fresh, wood, orange, caramel, ginger, spice. Palate: fresh, round, spicy, wood, anise, ginger, citrus. Finish: medium long, round, vegetal, anise, light caramel.
Review by Jakob
Ausgewogenes Profil mit frischen Zitrusfrüchten, schwerer Süsse von Steinobst und Nougat, Heu, Schokolade, Eichenholz sowie dezentem Pfeffer, Piment und Anis. Ansprechendes, stimmiges Aromenspiel, das mit vielfältigen Geschmacksnuancen zu gefallen weiss.
Review by Leo Krüper
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 zabo
Im heutigen Vergleich traten der RX5826 und RX19571 gegeneinander an. Überzeugen konnten mich beide nicht wirklich, wobei die Abfüllung von Swell de Spirits meines Erachtens der bessere von beiden ist.

Bon rhum vieux
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.
