Review by Joachim Guger
More wood and less almond on the nose than the 45% version. More serious, very dignified, very nice. Mega cool in the mouth. Full, dense, lots of honey. The finish could be a little longer. The closest taste to the Bielle standard (Brut de fut 20XX), without reaching the class of the Liberation series. The 2020 does not disappoint. It's in line with the 2012, but my favorite remains the 2015 with its sunny disposition.
Review by Mentalo
I like the Rhum Rhum Liberation range. But the 2020 is the weakest bottling for me so far. It's really not bad, but unfortunately it doesn't come close to the complexity of its predecessors.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is not a cheap rum, but quality costs and this is a good rum. I like it better than the "little" brother. Once rested the nose is fresh and woody with dried fruits and sugarcane trailed by vanilla, floral and earthy notes. The palate is lightly dry with smoky wood, fruits and spices trailed by honey and a hint of tobacco. The finish is long and lightly dry with wood, raisin and a hint of tobacco. Price to quality can be argued, but it's a good rum nonetheless.
Review by Chrischi78
Ein wirklich toller Rum, hab ihn nach dem Sample auf die Wunschliste gesetzt. Schöner Agricole mit den typischen Noten aber wunderbar rund und sanft. Alkohol wahnsinng gut eingebunden. Hat mit ausgesprochen gut gefallen!
Review by RumTaTa
The nose is similar to the diluted version. Again, a noticeable earthy note. On the palate, again the association with whiskey (slightly smoky). Additionally tobacco, herbs, spice, wood and honey - very balanced. The finish follows continuously.Not my preferred style.
Review by Leo Krüper
I don't like it quite as much as the others in the series. Nevertheless, a very good rum.
Review by Jarek
Flo's birthday tasting Rhum Liberation 2024-05-17: At the bottom of the scale of integrals tasted today, but still a very tasty agricole. Sugar cane, spices, tobacco, dried fruit and enough power.
Review by Righrum
On the nose, a nice aged agricole. Confectionery, wood and spices, but also honey and vanilla in the nose, and just a little herbal. Only little alcool is perceived here, while drink side it's much more noticeable. On the mouth honey and vanilla again, much more spices and, overall a bitter herbal note very noticeable and that lowers a bit my overall score
Review by mto75
Tasted together with the Integrale 2017, the 2020 is a bit fresher on the nose (herbs) and more pronounced on the citrus, the 2017 is a bit more pronounced on the dried fruit and caramel. On the palate, the 2017 is a bit rounder. The 2020 comes through more on the tannins and oak barrel. Overall, the 2017 is minimally ahead.
Review by Thunderbird
This Liberation Integrale comes along much better, but really can not convince me!The flavors are more present and intense, but lacks complexity!Honestly, I had set him a higher expectation!
Review by alex
C’est pas le meilleur de la série « libération » mais il se défend plutôt bien Beaux arômes de fruits, Fruits secs, Vanille, caramel, Des notes de cuir et du tabac. La longueur est moyennement, longue, mais plutôt agréable
Review by F.L.O.
Integrale Tasting 2024: Im Vergleich zum 2017er kaum Unterschied in Nase. Er wirkt etwas mehr erwachsen. Auf der Zunge nicht ganz so gefällig. Der Alkohol ist präsenter und dadurch wirkt der Rum nicht so stimmig wie der 2017er.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
This bottle/sample is my introduction to this series. On the nose: Nicely aged wood. Dried fruits. Spices. Little bit of agricole grass. Not intense. Taste: Woody, spicy and quite dry. Dried fruits. Honey notes giving a little bit of sweetness. Nicely round. High abv is present giving a good body to this and i would say that is nicely integrated. Could use some complexity. Finish:Woody, dry and herbal. Tobacco. Quite woody and complexity was missing for my liking. Still quite good rum.
Review by Chateau Caroni
Huge deception
Review by N’ours
Tout comme le réduit grosse déception. Profil très boisé, on a perdu ce qui faisait la renommé des libérations, la gourmandise et le fruit. Sensation en bouche presque désagréable. Laisse un côté âpre qui reste très longtemps, comme certain rhum qui on été remis en vieillissement dans des fûts neufs non chauffé.
