Cusenier Rhum Rico Martinique 1960s
"A part of history," as one member put it — a 1960s Martinique bottling that nobody at the table quite knew how to score. The signature is a big orange note, so pronounced that several tasters suspect it was flavored rather than pure rum. Under that sits caramel, banana and a touch of varnish, and it drinks sweet and very easy, almost cocktail-like. A curiosity more than an everyday pour.
The community says- Intense orange note
- Easy, cocktail-like
- But: Tastes too sweet

How does Cusenier Rhum Rico Martinique 1960s taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Sweet, orange-heavy vintage curiosity A genuine oddity. Most enjoy the intense orange and soft sweetness, but several suspect it's been helped along and call it a borderline case rather than straight rum.

Review by zabo
Zuallererst sehr schwierig dieses Teil einzuordnen. Durfte zum Glück noch einmal von Jakob probieren, bevor er den Rest der Flasche am Catawiki Stand eingepackt hat. Interessant ist dieser auf jedenfall. Aber die Orangenote wirkt ein wenig nachgeholfen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Für die damalige Qualität außergewöhnlich gut. Danke Jakob für die Möglichkeit! Tolle Frucht, Alkohol gut integriert, ungewöhnlich orangig.

Not too bad a rum and one i have never seen before. We couldn't really agree on how to score this one but still it's a part of history 😊
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probiert auf dem 12. GRF bei Catawiki: krasse Orange, insgesamt sehr süß, aber spannende Abfüllung
Review by Jakob
Intensive Orangennote. Meines Erachtens nicht nur Rum, hier wurde geschmacklich wahrscheinlich etwas nachgeholfen. Das Pairing mit dem orangigen Einfluss funktioniert für mich sehr gut und schafft ein extrem süffiges, cocktailartiges Profil mit präsenter Rumbasis. Gefällt mir gut, ist aber ein geschmacklicher Grenzgänger.
