Le Galion S.B.S French Antilles Grand Arome (Single Origin Rum) Grand Arôme 2021
Black olives, brine and green vegetal notes hit first, then a surprising sweet-fruit turn — strawberry, sugarcane, even a "Erdbeer Sahnetoffee" note some tasters catch. This unaged Le Galion Grand Arôme is wild and pharmacy-like on the nose, olive-salty and dry on the palate. Several members compare it to Haitian clairin or Savanna's high-ester bottlings. Mild for 57%, but polarizing.

The look inside the bottle
How does Le Galion S.B.S French Antilles Grand Arome (Single Origin Rum) Grand Arôme 2021 taste?
Aggregated from 70 community reviews.
Wild olive-brine white rum, great in daiquiris Loved for its funky olive-brine-and-fruit character; most call it original and fun, especially in a daiquiri. A few find it too garstig or not worth a full bottle to sip neat.
Fans of high-ester, olive-brine funk and clairin

Review by Martin Ekrt
It reminds me a lot of Haitian Clairin. A kind of oily saltiness. A lot of scent. It's got a nice sweet cane, fruit. There's a saltiness, a smokiness on the finish. I recommend all ten to try it.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Now this is some crazy stuff! 😄
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Floral and mineral, salty through to olive brine. Slightly bacony and with a hint of menthol on the nose. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, and indeed: strawberry. Completely new and wild for me, and really impressive. Extremely mild for its 57%. A hint of the salty olive resonates, which only makes it more exciting. Should make a fantastic daiquiri.
Review by Jakob
Classic Le Galion Grand Arôme profile, but here without too extreme excesses. Aromatically complex bottling designed for use at the bar, but also neat in the glass.
Review by Johannes
I like the Grand Arome from Martinique, which are a bit different than the ones from Reunion, but have similarities.
Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni květnatě ovocná vůně. V chuti je to krásný marmeládový la gallion. Velmi sladký profil s ovocným průběhem. Celé je to příjemné, ale nejzajímavější na tomhle rumu je závěr který jde do jahodových tónů. On-line degustace řady S.B.S origin s Joshua Singh pořádaná rum explorer 24.2.2025 Dnešní master class se bude skládat z dvou částí - dnes chutnáme čisté rumy, příště porovnáme v daiquiri. Koktejlové hodnocení přidám později.

Very green! A concentrate of olive and vegetable flavor. Great aroma, well done!

Black color scent of grass, fruit, floral notes Taste intense prunes, dried apricots, grass, flowers Finish medium-long
Review by Timo Groeger
Penultimate rum for today, Le Gallon from World Class Spirits. Really good for an impatient rum, nice fruity nose, also herbal and a little ester. Also predominantly fruity and herbal on the palate, again a little ester. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a pretty good white rum and I'm enjoy it while looking forward to the bottles I have to pick up tomorrow. Fruity and you can easily pick up the esters in it as well. Dry and fruity on the palate. A very good buy whether you want it pure, on the rocks or in a mixer.

Beautiful strawberry cream toffee Brand Arome!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Soooo sweet!
Review by Oliver
Great combination of fruitiness and herbal flavors. Also really fun as a sipper!
Review by HenryL
First tasted at the 11th GRF, now again in peace at home.In the nose floral esters notes and the skin of grapes.In the mouth surprisingly dry.The finish I like best here, is rather short but brings a nice strawberry note with it.From the profile I would classify him between Rum-Bar OP and Savanna. Less olive and intense than Rum-Bar and less fruity than Savanna.Had him better in memory, is a great rum, to drink neat but I would not buy a whole bottle. In the drink, however, would do very well.
Review by Christian Rudt
Beautiful product from the SBS Origin series with a great balance that makes it ideal for the bar and cocktail world. Also relaxed to sip neat
Review by Renato
Un rhum très typé végétal et iodé : olive noire, tapenade, algue avec des esters intéressants.
Review by primus
In der Nase überwiegen estrig-medizinische Komponenten gepaart mit Olive und Melasse. Dann kommt der Gaumen…. 😳🤯 Boah, Grande Geschmacksexplosion. Alles aus dem Geruch extremer und mehr auf der Zunge. Bleibt mittellang noch zu Besuch.
Review by Fasen
Un rhum qui se boit très facilement, c'est agréable et bien exécuté.

Beautiful bottling at what I think is a reasonable price. Aromatically complex and also pure very drinkable. I must test times on occasion in the drink.
