Isautier Louis & Charles - Rhum vieux édition spéciale
Anyone who leans agricole but wants something older and softer will find a lot to like here. Despite the molasses-and-cane blend, the grassy, vegetal side leads, backed by dried fruit, sweet spices and a woody, caramel finish. Several tasters get orange liqueur and light acetone glue on the nose. Easy to drink, though a few find it a touch young and a little "monotone" for its age.

Grassy, agricole-leaning aged Reunion sipper Most enjoy this as an easy, grassy Reunion sipper with dried fruit and gentle spice. A few feel it drinks young and lacks depth, and 45% keeps it soft rather than bold.

Review by ElReyTristan
Pleasant and syrupy it lacks a little watt but makes up for it with a nice complexity and a beautiful length. Perfect companion with a Cigar Vegafina line 1998.
Review by Jonathan Massard
Dégusté en sample de 3cl. Nez: liqueur à l'orange, orangette chocolat noir, un peu de colle à l'acétone, des fruits confits (orange, mangue), un peu de salinité, un peu d'amertume, des épices douces (cannelle), il s'ouvre aussi sur une pointe de fraicheur. Puis, du caramel fondu fait son apparition avec son sel, le nez s'adoucit et devient plus gourmand. Le boisé n'est pas en reste avec une cire subtile appliquée sur un meuble ancien. Bouche: beaucoup de liqueur à l'orange mais aussi de la clémentine, une belle texture, un alcool un peu trop présent pour une réduction à 45%. Toujours ce joli boisé en rétro-olfaction mais pas aussi fin qu'au nez qui évolue vers un coté jeune bally avec pas mal d'épices et de la colle à bois. la bouche en retrait par rapport au nez. Finale moyenne et monolithique sur un coté torréfié et boisé.
Review by Morgan Garet
Goûté au RhumFest donc dégustation incomplète... Plus abouti que la gamme classique, le côté agricole l'emporte avec du fruit sec et des épices douces. L'ensemble est assez gourmand mais cela manque de caractère pour passer au niveau supérieur.

#4006 This one has more complexity to it than the 10 year old release. Lovely fruits mixed with roasted wood and spices. I like the caramel note in the profile. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is lovely. Price to quality is so good that I ordered a bottle.
Review by Johannes
Tastes more like Agricole, young, grassy, fruity.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A blend of agricultural and molasses rum, with the scent of cane juice being instantly felt. The floral, woody and spicy notes take over, leaving only a slight fruity nuance. On the palate, the fruit has completely disappeared and the typical agricultural notes cover the whole mouth. Grassy and vegetal notes mingle with toasty aromas and nuts. It's dry but quite light with the 45%. The whole is easy to drink but remains quite classic, without bringing incredible depth or complexity.The finish is slightly reminiscent of dried fruits and quite fresh and spicy agricultural notes. A blend with strong agricultural dominance, unfortunately dull and monotonous for what was expected. The quality / price ratio is average, rather good for the age account but not extraordinary for the perceived aromas.
