Aroma visualization from community tastings
Montebello Cuvée the Bolokos Édition Océ Cheapfret 2019
At 77.7% you'd expect a wall of heat, and the surprise here is how well the alcohol sits — sharp but not aggressive. It's a raw column-still Guadeloupe agricole: fresh-cut cane, citrus, and a strong mineral, earthy streak that a few tasters found downright metallic. Let it rest and the cane opens up, with licorice and mint in the empty glass. Interesting more than easy.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Fresh cane nose
- But: Metallic streak

#4211 This one needs to rest before revealing a nice intense profile. Very fresh and lightly fruity with natural Agricole notes. The empty glass is nice and has some licorice and minty notes.

Testé en aveugle dans le calendrier de l'avent 2022, et tant mieux ! Nez sympa, canne fraîche, assez familier. En bouche ça arrache un peu (à l'aveugle) et goût de terre++, même après repos. Bonne longueur, terre qui fini par s'ouvrir un peu sur la canne. Pas "bon" même si intéressant pour sa particularité. Je suis content de la connaître mais je ne l'acheterais pas à plus de 60 balles, donc pas du tout ! Et le dernier batch, le 4, il sortira finalement ? Il va s'arracher comme l'iPhone 48...
Review by Benoit Mahe
Le nez est assez fermier. On sent le caractère agricole. La bouche est étonnante (métallique et minéral). Ça manque de fruits (meme si on sent un peu de citron) et de gourmandise. Ce n'est pas trop mon truc. Par contre il faut reconnaître que l'alcool est très bien intégré. Pas un rhum facile à noter pour moi : expérience intéressante mais pas franchement réussie
Review by Timo Groeger
La Route des Rhums Adventskalender 2022 Nr. 4. Hier ein sehr hochprozentige Agricole mit einem ABV von 77,7%. Nase ist sehr fruchtig und frisch, Zitrusfrüchte und Agricole sind zu erkennen. Am Gauem ebenfalls Agricole und Früchte. Alkohol erstaunlich gut eingebunden.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Dégustation du batch #2 High ester de qualité malgré un goût métallique dérangeant. Un jus forcément très puissant en alcool, sec, végétal et épicé, il est est très ouvert au nez et en bouche, au final très aromatiques. La finale, certes agressive, permet aux notes fruités de s’exprimer sur la longueur. Belle découverte
Review by laudhar
Première expérience sur un brut de colonne. Plutôt satisfaisant car je m'attendais à ressentir un alcool plus agressif.
