Longueteau GENESIS Collection 2018
Most tasters are genuinely won over: a fresh, unaged Guadeloupe agricole blanc that's all sugarcane, green grass, lime and black pepper, with a warm citrus-marmalade edge. What amazes people at 72.7% is how "incredibly soft" it drinks — several say the alcohol is barely there. One reviewer wanted it better integrated and a touch less hot, but he's the outlier.

The look inside the bottle
How does Longueteau GENESIS Collection 2018 taste?
Aggregated from 30 community reviews.
Fresh, grassy Guadeloupe agricole at full proof Loved by most as a powerful yet surprisingly rounded white agricole — grassy, peppery, full of fresh cane. A few find the high proof still burns a little.

Review by Thunderbird
This Brut de Colonne was recommended to me and ultimately given to me as a gift. And the recommendation is justified... an absolute delight. An intense yeast, olive, sugar cane and grass note on the nose. Alhohol barely perceptible. On the palate, an amazing oily smooth distribution without the slightest bite of alcohol (<72%) and the full spectrum of vegetality with a hint of citrus marmalade 😋. The finish remains intense and long... Great... curious to see how it works as a mixer
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Wow, this one is fresher than its lightly coloured brother. Equally well balanced and fruity, just fresher in the profile. The palate is oily and it draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass is also very nice and fruity with a light cheese note 😊
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Quel plaisir et quelle réussite ! Typicité et richesse aromatique de très haut niveau avec une intégration de l’alcool parfaite. La finale vous renverse sur la canne à sucre, le miel, le poivre et les fruits tropicaux
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose canned corn, floral, citrus and ripe. On the palate roasted hazelnuts, ripe and some citrus despite the high alcohol content is nicely integrated, seems to be 20 down and retains great roundness. Short and slightly peppery finish. Similar to the Neisson l'Esprit
Review by Stefan Persson
This Longueteau Genesis rum batch 3 from the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe is produced from red cane, grown on plot No. 9 at the habitation. It’s from the 2018 harvest and has rested for 2 years after its distillation in a stainless tank aerated regularly. Thereafter is this brut de colonne bottled without any reduction at 72,7% in 5000 bottles. Overall a really great Agricole Blanc that’s very aromatic, powerful and incredibly soft for the high ABV.
