CDI Martinique 2008

Opinions land all over the place on this one. A few tasters were pleasantly surprised by the agricole, fruit-schnapps and mirabelle nose, with young wood and a warm ginger kick on the palate. Others found it thin and short on complexity for an 11-year Martinique single cask. Expect pear, herbal notes and dry oak at an easygoing 42%.

The community says
  • Mirabelle and pear
  • Warm ginger note

Wow, this CDL actually surprised me. Good alcoholic on the nose, agricole, fruit brandy and mirabelle, but really top. On the palate similar, only here the woody taste comes in. Really delicious...

Big fan of Martinican rums, this 11 year old lacks complexity. Disappointed.

Le Simon is Martinique's ghostwriter. It is the island's most technologically advanced distillery, yet it sells no rum under its own name, runs no public tours, and ages nothing on site. Instead it distils two of the most beloved names in Martinique agricole, HSE and, until recently, Clement, on stills moved here from their original homes. What you taste as HSE is, in fact, Le Simon.
