Beginners, those sensitive to 53% ABV, or drinkers who dislike solventy notes, strong sherry influence, or very expressive ester profiles.

Review by Anders Bovien
Very fruity nose and so intense aroma, this reminds me most of a savanna grand aroma really worth a buy 🔥
Review by ElReyTristan
Whaou déjà au nez je n’ai jamais sentis ça c’est tellement gourmand et different, de la colle mélangé avec de la banane flambé avec des notes de caramel en final. En bouche je sens des notes de bonbon cachou, extrêmement de réglisse avec un petite pointe mentholé et fraîche tout en étant assez lisse dans le palais. Cette note de cachou persiste en bouche et laisse cette sensation de fraîcheur en bouche…Peut être qu’on a en finale une note d’écorce d’orange alcoolisé style cointreau ou plutôt cocktail ils fashion fait maison… C’est vraiment une découverte à part, je n’ai jamais goûté quelque ch

I eftersmagen lidt Caroni. Tjære, petroleum. Ikke meget px smag

Despite this being a very, very young rum it's incredible how well balanced it is from nose to finish. Sweetness is natural because there is no added sugar. Trace flavour from the sherry casks they used to mature the rum. I think the price tag is a bit high for such a young rum, but nevertheless a very good one.
Review by Martin Augustin
Für sein sehr junges Alter erstaunlich komplex und erwachsen. Natürlich ist das Sherry Finish merkbar, funktioniert aber wesentlich besser als bei vielen Vertretern aus Jamaica. Trägt dazu bei, dass der Alkohol gut eingebunden. Ein gelungener Grand Arome.
Review by Johannes
Großartiger junger, fruchtiger, frischer Agricole! Blind hätte ich wahrscheinlich fast auf einen ungelagerten Rhum getippt. Aber ob er sein Geld wert ist?! Das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Mir war er dann doch eine Flasche wert!
Review by DomM
Really like this experiment. The sherry cask is very noticeable and forming the experience quite significantly. Imho this works very well however and presents interesting ester and fruit notes. I get the sensation of drinking strawberry jam here 🤤😅
Review by Vincent D
Le rhum embaume la pièce à l'ouverture. Du vernis, de la cerise, de l'agrume peut être. C'est très particulier. En bouche, le nez se confirme. Des solvants, de la cerise encore. Des zestes. De l'acidité. C'est surprenant et agréable. Typiquement le genre de rhum a laisser s'aérer très longtemps pour profiter de cette petite bombe aromatique, à conseiller aux amateurs de cerise.

zum zweiten Mal probiert, Vorfreude war da und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Tolles Produkt das die vielfältigen geschmacklichen Möglichkeiten in der Rum Welt eindrucksvoll unterstreicht.
Review by Jakob
Beautiful Le Galion, but the PX finish does not seem unreservedly advantageous. The heavy fruit notes crush the freshness a bit, the whole thing is still within limits, nothing tips completely in the wrong direction - but it is at the expense of the great freshness that otherwise distinguishes the Grand Arômes from Le Galion.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sweet fruity, salty and sour at the same time. absolute taste explosion, the sherry influence is extremely dominant, but also makes the whole thing much more drinkable than it would probably be without the finish, cool thing, but does not come for me to the white le Galion of finedrams Ran.

Mes goûts ayant évolués, j’apprécie de plus en plus les rhums de la baie du Gallion. Tabac cuir et solvant combiné à des fruits très mûrs prévalent ici. Beau produit, je monte la note car je l’apprécie aujourd’hui. Le fut de PX en fait un produit similaire à la sortie de The Nectar.
