Longueteau Genesis Collection Ambré 2016
Most tasters land on "good, but bring water" — this cask-strength agricole hits at 72.3% and it bites. Rest it and the nose surprises: apricot, pear, dried plum and vanilla over young oak, with clear sugarcane running through. The palate turns dry and spicy — nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon — before tannins and a green, slightly bitter edge close it out. Younger and hotter than polished, and that's the appeal for some.
The community says- Fruity rested nose
- Long citrus finish
- But: Fierce heat

Fierce cask-strength agricole, dry and spicy A powerful young agricole most rate well, with a caveat: the 72.3% and drying tannins bite, and one taster preferred the unaged version of this range.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Dans la lignée de la gamme Genesis, ce Longueteau ambré fait preuve d’une puissance phénoménale. La chaleur de l’alcool et des épices laisse présager d’un nez puissant, auquel s’ajoute un jeune boisé, de l’herbe et de la canne à sucre, mais surtout une bonne corbeille de fruits allant de l’abricot sec à la prune en passant par le zeste d’orange et les fruits exotiques. Un profil aromatique et intense. L’attaque en bouche est virulente, avec la même force de frappe alcoolique. La muscade et la cannelle s’allient au citron vert et au pruneau pour une percée dans le profil qui se veut très sec. Canne à sucre et notes florales finalisent une attaque intense et bien ciselée. La finale est très longue et persistante sur les agrumes (citron vert, orange) et le boisé légèrement épicé, avant que les tanins et les notes végétales viennent apporter de l’astringence et de l’amertume en fin de bouche. Une belle interprétation du rhum qui est encore assez jeune pour avoir les notes de canne à sucre, mais aussi assez mature pour avoir début de notes de vieillissement en fût.

Phuuu, das pflanzliche ist gar nicht meins. Aber voll ok die 72.3%, gut trinkbar.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
on the nose quite clearly directly young wood, solvent, some apricot, pear, fig and baked apple but also somewhat alcoholic.Taste then unfortunately a little too woody for me personally although there are only 2y, very dry and spicy with notes of prune, fruit bread, red pepper and pear compote, in the finish dominate then clearly tannins and slightly bitter barrel notes but also something sweet vanilla pear compote with cinnamon, which rounds him off again something.overall an exciting full proof Agricole, but the unripe is here clearly for me the favorite.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Trop d’alcool, pas super intéressant
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one I'd expected to be kind of a bomb, but it surprised me with a sweet and fruity nose once rested. A very nice balance between the elements and of course the ABV will bite a little, but it's actually far less than you'd expect. Very good balance overall and I get a light nutty flavour in the empty glass.
