Was invited to a tasting by a friend today and he surprised me with a full Reimonenq selection.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an interesting rum that could be a first start to experience rum from Guadeloupe because of its roundness which makes it very easy drinked. This is an Agricole from the house of ReimonenQ in Guadeloupe named after one of the founders, Joseph Reimonenq. It’s a rum distilled in their column still in 2012, aged for four years in former bourbon casks and thereafter bottled at ABV 40%.

Review by Timo Groeger
This ReimonenQ is also a decent rum. Wood is the first thing you notice on the nose, followed over time by caramel and a certain spiciness. The palate is similar, with pepper recognizable as a spice.

Bon pour offrir
Review by EUDIER Vincent
Joli rhum, intéressant car portant déjà la gourmandise la douceur ( sans tomber dans le sucré) et la rondeur des rhums vieux de la maison RQL. Agréable, fortement réduit, donc peut être accessible au plus grand nombre. Je trouve d’un bon rapport qualité/prix. Et si cela peut vous donner l’envie d’aller explorer leurs rhums plus âgés… tentez l’aventure !
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A little thin, but still pure reimonenq essence of toffee caramel and pineapple. Top for the PLV. Super atypical agricole that will convince every non-sugar ear juice/agricole fan with its own sweetness.
