Un petit bond 42 ans dans le passé c’est toujours spécial et j’ai adoré tout simplement. Un rhum complexe d’une autre époque.

9.2/10

This is a great rum and the price to quality is very good in my mind. The nose is fruity with wood, nuts and vanilla with trailing caramel and a nice floral note. The palate has toasted wood and fruit trailed by vanilla, licorice and chocolate. There is also a hint of menthol in there. The chocolate and fruits become very clear in the empty glass. The finish is long and has wood, chocolate and raisin with trailing vanilla.

Ein toller Rhum, der im Mund immer komplexer wird bis er in einem unglaublichen Finish endet. Von vorne bis hinten konstant hammer!

9.2/10

Al naso è un po' arrostito con cioccolato, tabacco, bosco e canna da zucchero. Al palato ci sono nocciole, gianduia, frutta secchi (datteri/fichi), una soffice dolcezza caramellata, un pizzico di pepe, liquirizia e una finezza legnosa da contorno che aumenta poco a poco. Dopo averlo fatto riposare tornano le note arrostite e ne emergono altre floreali di violetta. Il finale è delicato, che delizia!

Un Trois Rivières extraordinaire qui offre un profil très complet et réussi. Au nez s’enchaînent les fruits rouges et les fruits secs, les notes mielleuses et de canne à sucre, les notes pâtissières et douces avec les noisettes et les amandes, puis les arômes plus floraux, herbeux et épicés. Toutefois, ce sont les notes boisées qui se démarquent pour leur incroyable finesse. Cette finesse se retrouve en bouche avec un profil varié, expressif mais très élégant avec notamment le moka, le chocolat noir, le toffee, mais aussi les épices douces, un boisé fin exquis et des notes fruitées subtiles. La finale est très longue et savoureuse. Un rhum hors du commun, une véritable licorne de Martinique.

Retour sur un beau sample d’autrefois : Trois Rivières 1980 La Plantation Trois-Rivières est l’une des plus anciennes de la Martinique. Son nom emblématique provient des trois rivières bordant ses hectares de champs de cannes : Oman, Bois d’Inde et Saint Pierre. Mais pour rappel, les colonnes de distillation de Trois-Rivières ont été déménagées vers le site actuel de La Mauny en 2004 juste après la fermeture de l’ancienne distillerie Trois-Rivières située à Ste-Luce. Cette dernière produit du rhum agricole millésimés allant de 1953 à nos jours. Ici, il s’agit donc d’un rhum distillé en 1980 qui a vieillis durant 10 ans sous le soleil de Martinique et embouteillé à 45%. Cette cuvée possède une jolie robe couleur cuivre. Le nez est incroyablement intense et expressif. Il est porté sur les fruits rouges ou s’additionne une note de fruits secs toastés. Voir du vernis, assez déconcertante et envoutante. Il est très séducteur et parfumé. Un nez très fruité particulièrement chaleureux. Assez impressionnant. En bouche, l’attaque est douce avec une intégration parfaitement équilibrée. On a droit à un beau bouquet de fruits confits. Sans oublier un profil empyreumatique suave (moka-toasté). La finale interminable sur la vanille/coco est d’une gourmandise inattendue. Il s’agit là clairement d’un monument de la distillerie dont le nez et cette finale interminable resteront gravés dans ma mémoire. Je ne peux donc que remercier Cedric pour le partage de ce sample (et de la photo).
