Nobilis Montebello Rum No. 22C 2007
One taster called it a "flüssiges Kräuterbonbon" — a liquid herbal candy — and that's the vibe: dried herbs, yellow fruit and black pepper, with the cognac cask pushing brown sugar, raisin and vanilla on top. A 13-year Guadeloupe agricole that stays gentle at 43.4%. Several folks wished for more punch, but most found it a soft, well-balanced way into the grassy agricole style.

How does Nobilis Montebello Rum No. 22C 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Soft, cognac-cask agricole, easy to sip Well-liked as an elegant, easygoing agricole where the cognac finish really shows. The common gripe: at 43.4% it feels a touch tame, and the finish fades fast.

Premier community meeting RumX à Acht. Un nez doux et plutôt ample, un agricole tout en équilibre. Des herbes sèches et des fruits jaunes dominent. Du poivre noir, un boisé en soutien, du caramel et des fruits secs sont aussi présents. L’entrée de bouche est très douce avec une belle amertume végétale, des herbes sèches et des fruits jaunes. La finale est plutôt longue pour un agricole, sur les fruits jaunes et une belle amertume végétale. Un rhum très agréable à boire avec une belle complexité. La finition en fût de cognac est très perceptible le verre vide.

After the No 22B now the longer matured, but unfortunately reduced (cask strength? So already reduced in the cask...?) 22C. Nose: clearly spicier but also sweetly fruity. The maturation in cognac casks is very noticeable. Brown sugar, almost cotton candy and honey together with papaya, raisin and vanilla. Slightly woody, but more in the direction of cork. Some caramel chocolate and cream toffee on the back and cognac again. Palate: quite tasty for only 43.%, which is clearly due to the cognac cask, which has also changed the base material considerably. Spicy and slightly woody with a slight aniseed note. It then takes on a fruity note of redcurrant, kiwi and gooseberry. Grassy sugar cane in the rather short finish. Not bad for only 43.4%.

Review by Gregor
Beautiful Agricole with only a few green and grassy tones. Ideal for people who want to get to grips with Agricole. The ageing is spot on. And although it only has 43.4%, it is nice and intense and stays on the tongue for a long time.
Review by Timo Groeger
Communitytreffen RumX Acht Oktober 2025. Ein netter, leichter Agricole, etwas mehr ABV wäre top. Ansonsten eine fruchtige, würzige und holzige Nase. Am Gaumen dann etwas Vanille, außerdem wieder Würze und auch Holz.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A lovely release. Fresh and lightly fruity with nicely integrated ABV. I would have loved a bit more power, read higher ABV preferably above 55% because that's where the Montebello's usually really kick in.
Review by Skyfly
Cologne-Bonn rum tasting: the cask influence is pronounced, the flavor solid. Lots of spice, vanilla, wood, and fruit from nose to finish. On the palate, blackcurrants and sour cherries, which makes this rum really awesome.
Review by Boletus
Dieser 13jährige Agricole weist eine stimmige und elegante Schnittmenge aus Frucht, Eiche und pflanzlich-frischem Destillat auf. Weder der Geruch noch die Aromendichte des Geschmacks leiden unter dem eher niedrigen Alkoholgehalt, jedoch lässt der Abgang dann ziemlich schnell an Intensität nach. Erfreulicherweise feiern die Tropenfrüchte noch ein spätes Comeback und sorgen für einen sehr angenehmen Ausklang.
Review by Alex Kunath
Wonderful nose and palate. Here the aging has really worked for the good.
Review by Jakob
Solid Montebello, already with wood, dark fruits, and spices on the nose. Similar profile on the palate. Not yet with great finesse, but already a promise of what the distillery is capable of.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schwerer Cognac Rum. Braucht mehr Zeit
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Flüssiges Kräuterbonbon, erstaunlich langer Abgang, etwas Menthol und Anis. Leichte bittere Holznote im Abgang. Ein Agricole, der Spaß macht, aber durchaus anstrengend ist. Nichts für jeden Tag.
