Rhum House Domaine de Courcelles Rhum Vieux Edition 2014 1972
Sip this neat and slow — it's a 38-year-old column-still rum from Domaine de Courcelles, and the nose is the show: cherry, cream toffee, caramel and a bit of red-fruit sweetness, with several tasters reaching for strawberry-cream-candy comparisons. The palate runs elegant and balanced, fresh and lightly woody. At 47% a few feel it loses some punch versus the higher-proof siblings, but it's lovely.
- Cherry-toffee nose
- Elegant and balanced
- Drinks well diluted

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Elegant aged Courcelles, cherry and cream toffee Loved across the board for a "wonderful" cherry-and-toffee nose and elegant balance for its age. The honest catch: at 47% the palate reads softer than the higher-proof versions.

Review by cigares
Un très beau nez, cerises au kirsch, boisé, vanillé mais toujours dans l’équilibre. Une attaque en bouche assez douce, mais la bouteille arrive à la fin. Toujours des fruits très équilibrés avec le reste. Une finale moyennent longue mais avec beaucoup d’élégance. Regoûté et encore meilleur que dans mon souvenir. Un tout petit peu en dessous des versions à 54%, mais je chipote. Un rhum magnifique qui fait rêver.

03.03.2018 A wonderful day with my friend from Singapore at the whisky.dk event in my hometown. Notes: Very good bottling. Fruity and fresh with very good balance. Palate is oily and the finish is long with light minty notes. Extra note. I have tried several different bottlings of different ages and I also have two bottles in my collection. In general these releases are really good.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Toller Rum! Wie ausbalanciert er ist für die Jahre, die er auf dem Buckel hat. Sehr geil.
Review by Joachim Guger
Tolle Nase. Massig Lösungsmittel, sticht auch ordentlich, sehr rauchig und rote Früchte. Die lange Zeit im Fass ist kaum merkbar. frisch und grasig. Tolles Mundgefühl und gute Trinkstärke. Arrak. Plastik, Karamell und pfeffrige Würze im Abgang. Sehr guter Rum, mir gefällt besonders die Kombination aus stechenden Lösungsmitteln und roten Früchten. Geschmacksprofil einzigartig.

Erdbeer Sahne bonbons von Campino in der Nase 😅🍓🍒🍰 Blind hätte ich hier sofort auf Savanna getippt. Null Holz, brutal intensiv nach Erdbeer Joghurt und Eis Menthol Bonbons. Richtig geil und total außergewöhnlich!
