For experienced palates: a 4‑year-old agricole at a massive 71.7%. RumX drinkers find it surprisingly gourmand with almond paste, chocolate, vanilla, citrus and spicy cane, best slowly sipped with plenty of rest in the glass.

How does Longueteau Genesis vieux 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Intense, gourmand cask‑strength agricole For experienced palates: a 4‑year-old agricole at a massive 71.7%. RumX drinkers find it surprisingly gourmand with almond paste, chocolate, vanilla, citrus and spicy cane, best slowly sipped with plenty of rest in the glass.
Seasoned agricole fans who enjoy very high‑proof, complex rums with chocolate‑almond sweetness, citrus and spicy cane, and who like to take time letting a glass open up.
Beginners or anyone sensitive to alcohol heat; drinkers who prefer soft 40% sippers or sweetened Latin‑style rums will likely find this too aggressive.

Review by Mc Pirate
Nez assez atypique et complexe. Attaque très agressive mais debouche sur des notes de vanille, fruits secs et finale relativement douce
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez gourmand sur la pâte d'amande,le chocolat, les agrumes (à l'aveugle environ 55°) En bouche c'est toujours gourmand avec les mêmes notes et des épices, la canne bien sucrée prend de l'ampleur. (Entre 60 et 65° à l'aveugle). Finale longue sur la canne et les épices avec quelques notes fumées qui s'invitent après une longue aération. Très bon vieux longueteau, gourmand pour un tel voltage. Je préfère malgré tout la version non vieillie😋
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Très bon rhum brut de colonne et brut de fût. Super bien intégré malgré ses 71,7% ! Belle découverte. Ça chauffe 🔥
Review by Jakob
Expressiv, fordernd - aber auch sehr spannend zu trinken. Schönes Release.
Review by Léo Delek
Chocolat, tarte tatin, céréales, ... me fait penser au profil de neisson.
Review by Djehey
En effet, on sent tout de suite le Genesis vieilli. Intéressant.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Taste explosion in the offing? Nose: apple/vanilla/nougat Palate: lime/bitter almond/alcohol Finish: rather long with peppery notes Superbly integrated rum, despite the 71.7%, but it still heats up! I'm glad I tasted it, because if I had a bottle, the level would come down very slowly ... I prefer the original, unaged version.
