Labourdonnais XO (Edition Sep 2021)
Sip it neat or slowly with a cigar — that's where this Mauritian cane-juice rum lands. It's light and gentle at 42%, leaning sweet with honey and vanilla, then a green, grassy agricole side that shows on a surprisingly long finish. One member called it a bottle "finished too fast." Not deep, but easy company after a long day.
The community says- Long agricole finish
- Honey-vanilla ease
- But: Little depth

How does Labourdonnais XO (Edition Sep 2021) taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Light, honeyed Mauritian cane-juice sipper A pleasant, easy pour that grew on several tasters, though a few wanted a couple more percent of ABV for depth. Simple, balanced, no real edges.

Une bouteille fini trop vite. J’ai eu la chance de faire une dégustation des produits LABOURDONNAIS directement à la distillerie. J’ai clairement eu un très bon feeling sur leur gamme de produit. Mon vrai coup de cœur se porte sur ce XO que j’ai donc ramené à la maison. Dégusté à domicile avec les bonnes personnes et dans de bonnes conditions, se XO se révèle être un très bon rhum. Je conseille ce rhum à tout type de personne, amateur ou confirmé, il s’agira là, toujours, d’une très belle découverte. De mon point de vue, c’est une distillerie avec beaucoup de potentiel.

Ein leichter, junger Rum,wenig Tiefgang. Ein paar Prozente wären ganz gut gewesen. Es bleibt bei dem Sample.
Review by Michael Schillheim
The few bottlings from Mauritius, which I was allowed to taste so far, could not convince me yet.Therefore, this Labourdonnais surprised me positively. Vegetable and spicy notes predominate, which I expect from a sugar cane juice-based rum. Light vanilla, citrus and barrel aromas round out the impression in the nose and on the palate.Only the for me somewhat low alcohol content of 42% is to be criticized by me. Personally, I would have liked a few percent more. Special points again receives the XO for its surprisingly long finish, which leaves very pleasant Agricole notes on the palate.

Ein gut trinkbarer Rum aus Mauritius. Sehr leicht, aber gut. Geschmacklich sehr süß mit Honig und Vanille Noten.
Review by Winetrader
Encore un Rhum de l’Ile Maurice, je considère que c’est un Rhum agréable et buvable. Le taux d’alcool est de 42%il s’agit d’un Rhum Agricole avec un bon équilibre, pas trop complexe, parfait a siroter avec un cigare
