Review by mto75
war schon sehr gespannt, diesen St.Aubin verkosten zu dürfen. An der Nase allerlei exotische Früchte wie Papaya, Mango, Nektarine, auch etwas süss-blumiges, das vielleicht am ehesten noch mit den Domaine de Courcelles Abfüllungen vergleichbar ist. Am Gaumen eine schöne Würzigkeit, gepaart mit Kafffee, Karamell, Frucht und Malz. Im Abgang Ankläge von Fass und Banane. Der eher niedrige ABV passt hier sehr gut, und unterstreicht den milden Charakter. Ich muss sagen, der gefällt mir richtig gut! Besten Dank für das Sample nach Berlin!
Review by Rodolphe
Blind tasting. I immediately thought of whisky. Cereals, malt, yellow fruit. On the palate, it was the same. For me, it was a whisky. I don't know what it's due to, as I don't know St Aubin. Whisky cask or distillery style? In the end, it's really not my thing.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
A very fine, independent rhum that cannot conceal its sugar cane juice origins from the nose. A rhum from the year in which production from sugar cane juice was officially permitted for the first time in Mauritius. Won't be available for much longer. Unfortunately (even at the distillery) at a price that hurts. So you should definitely taste the rhum before you buy it.

Edit: let it stand again and observe the development a little. Unfortunately, I have to correct it downwards. Unfortunately, it's not more than mediocre First of all, thanks for introducing the rums from Mauritius Gunnar. For me, it's better on the nose than on the palate. It seems a little thin and doesn't last long. Unfortunately, I have to say that I'm a little disappointed. For the price that is being asked, there are far better rums from Mauritius that were included in the package for cheaper money. This whisky finish also ruins things.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Interessanter Pot-Still Agricole mit viel Kraft. Leider fürchterlich überteuert, daher wird der wohl sicher nicht von vielen getrunken werden können. Zweitverkostung. Diesmal blind. Netter Rum, aber insgesamt zu wenig Ecken und Kanten.
Review by Thunderbird
Diese Abfüllung hat fast die klassischen Noten eines Agricoles, bis auf die Zimt- und Vanillearomen am Gaumen. Mir ist er etwas zu leicht und das Zuckerrohr zu dominant
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The thing that I caught right away was the design of the bottle. I really liked that they put some effort into it and that it stands on "two feet". The nose is very fruity with wood and some vanilla. The palate is sweet takes off right away with wood, fruit and spices trailed by sugarcane. The finish is medium long and lightly dry with smoky wood, spices and fruits. Price to quality is so-so.
Review by Buddudharma
Interessantes Profil, das trotz des hohen Alters relativ jung wirkt und Assoziationen an einen Willi kombiniert mit Agricole-Noten weckt. Es fehlen jedoch mindestens 10% ABV, um hier in höhere Sphären vorzustoßen, PLV ist auch eher mau.
Review by Schnubbi
An der Nase hat er etwas von einem gereiften Agricole, oder vielleicht auch einem etwas helleren Armagnac. Am Gaumen sehe gefällig, geht auch dort etwas in Richtung Agricole, mit Aromen von Bratapfel mit etwas Rosinen, leichter Würze und Zimt. Fast ein wenig wie ein flüssiger Apfelstrudel. Der Abgang ist dann eher kurz gehalten. Sehr entspannter und leckerer easy sipper, tolles Bratapfelaroma. Dennoch kein Benchmark.
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
Assez agréable pour qui aime le boisé, assez fin et élégant mais qui manque de gourmandise et d'excentricités à mon goût.
Review by Lot-NAS
The nose is pretty inviting, vanilla, wood, caramel, some spices and dried fruits. On the palate there are no fruits at all and it tastes like an average molasses based rum with some additional notes. Not bad but not great eather. The finish is a bit too rough and alcoholic keeping the 45% in mind.

Le bois prend le dessus tout en douceur
Review by Harald
Farbe: Goldbrauner Bernstein Geruch: Alt, reif und ausgewogen Riecht süß nach dunklen reifen Früchte, sehr reife Banane, Mango und Papaya sowie Karamell. Geschmack: Im Mund süß und ölig, zudem würzig mit Karamell. Beim Schlucken medizinisch, kräuterig und würzig mit Toffee. Nachgeschmack: Mittellang, bitter und würzig-scharf. Harzig, medizinisch, holzig. Fazit: Schmeckt mir leider nicht besonders. Der Holzeinfluss ist mir zu stark. 80 Punkte
