The Nectar Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 2020
Most tasters are surprised how much this pulls off in just two years, though a few find the medicinal edge divisive. It's a Le Galion grand arôme aged in virgin oak: syrupy body, red and dark berries, overripe tropical fruit, olive brine and a smoky, meaty finish. One reviewer compares it to fruit compote cooked in a copper pan. Dense and unusual — not everyone's fruit.
The community says- Dense fruity body
- Lots of character
- Medicinal, salty edge

Review by Djehey
Finished bottle (T__T): totally won over by this bottle! I'm very interested in trying out other Galion aged rums! Bottle almost finished: it's become even rounder. For 2 years, I find it remarkable. It's not insanely complex, but it's very coherent. A very good bottle... 2nd tasting - after a quarter bottle Take some ripe exotic fruit Put them in a copper pan Add a large lump of butter and a little sugar Cook over a wood fire Flambé (with rum) Squeeze a small piece of lemon Now you can serve this superb Galion! 1st tasting it looks like fruit compote in a soda barrel.
Review by Tschusikowsky
What a cool drop. Thick molasses rum that drinks like syrup from the consistency. The palate is extremely complex and very special in its own way. The blueberry and strawberry I find very horny. The finish is no less complex. Meaty, bacony, smoky, licorice, medicinal. Very exciting profile. Especially for the two years of aging. Please more of it.

15.06.2022 A nice day running through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, balanced, fresh, light olives, apple, light citrus, fruity. Palate Medium intense, oily, light wood, olive, light salty, apple, light tannins, spice, faint medicinal. Finish Medium to long, warm, light oily, olive, light citrus, spice, fruits. Extra note. A brilliant example of what you can do with short aging in virtin oak.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Very interesting taste of "bompari".
Review by Schnubbi
Not bad at all. Glue and dried fruit, behind which the wood comes through quite dominantly without becoming too bitter. Quite a dense aroma, drinks almost syrupy. Really not a bad rum for the price. For me, it goes a bit in the direction of Savanna.
Review by Filip Šikula
Velká pecka od daily drams. Sirupová konzistence a vůně i chuť marmelády dělá z tohoto kousku něco tak typického, že nejde splést. Perfektní ovocný nos i chuť, plná červeného ovoce s poněkud kratším závěrem.
Review by John Coffey
A great aroma very satisfying for the price. It lacks complexity but given the age it sends watts and that's all we ask.
Review by Sebastian.W
Very fresh and fruity on the nose with citrus, apricots, smoke, toffee and some vegetal notes. The first sip is agricole like, but let it rest and it turns into overripe fruit and marmalade. A complex rum and the price at release was very good.
