Aroma visualization from community tastings
Manutea Quintessence
Grassy sugarcane and fresh lemon lead the nose, with pear, melon and a floral lift behind them — a very typical unaged agricole from Tahiti. At 59.9% the alcohol is well integrated; a few tasters even sip it neat, though most reach for it in a Ti' Punch or daiquiri. The palate splits people: some love the fruit, others find it more herbal-spicy than fruity. Long finish for a white rum.

Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Grassy Tahitian agricole, great in a Ti' Punch A clean, very vegetal white agricole that shines mixed but divides tasters neat — some find the palate less pleasing than the nose. Surprisingly tame heat for the proof.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4063 With the price tag this rum had i thought it a mixer rum, but you can actually enjoy it as a sipper as well. Fruity and floral and it has a nice balance. I wonder what would happen if lemon cest was added 😊 Lightly dry on the palate and the empty glass has licorice notes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Nice nose, the taste is a bit too little fruity and too spicy for me. Solid in the daiquiri but no revelation...
