Romdeluxe Le Galion Le Galion (Batch II)
Reviewers keep landing on the same word: medicinal. This unaged Martinique molasses rum smells and tastes like a hospital ward crossed with a herb garden — iodine, olives in brine, cut grass and citrus, all cranked up by the raw 59.1%. Several tasters were surprised how much they liked it; one admits he couldn't finish a whole bottle of something this intense. Not your everyday pour.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">Divisive by nature: fans call this white rum a serious, structured surprise, while others find the iodine-and-olive medicinal streak more than they'd want regularly. Big flavor, no age to hide behind.

Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is heady and assertive with solvents, cherries, strawberries, maracuja, melon, citrus, fermented and a little roasted, a true Grand Arome. The palate is rich with seasoned/fermented, overripe and unripe tropical fruit(melon/papaya/strawberry/pineapple/citrus), vegetables, legumes, pickled olives and umami/roasted on the finish with a sweet and very slight menthol note in the background. A really intense bold and structured taste with an excellent abv and good persistence. I was pleasantly surprised by the only distillery making Molasses Rum in Martinique. In the empty glass fermented/seasoned mixed fruit
Review by Martin Švojgr
I really enjoyed this. For a white rum, it's a blast.
Review by Michal S
Unusual smell and taste, a lot of hospital sensations, I certainly wouldn't consume the whole bottle.
