Chamarel Highveld Aging Séries Oloroso Cask Antipodes 2017
Red wine, sherry and dried red fruit lead here, over oak, spice and a little chocolate — the Chamarel cane-juice base sits well in the back. Several tasters loved the nose but found the palate more ordinary, with a red-wine edge and a surprising sour note. At 55.3% it reads warm but well-integrated. An Oloroso-driven Mauritian for people who chase sherry finishes.
The community says- Rich sherry nose
- Cherry and chocolate
- Divisive red-wine note

The look inside the bottle
How does Chamarel Highveld Aging Séries Oloroso Cask Antipodes 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Sherry-soaked, woody Mauritian with a sour edge Most find it a heavily sherry-influenced, wood-forward pour with cherry, chocolate and a divisive red-wine sourness. Fine as a sample; a few say the nose beats the palate.

Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 5. Un nez doux de Sherry avec des fruits rouges, presque de la fraise et le bois est en soutient. La bouche part fort avec de l’alcool, du vieux bois et de la vanille mais les fruits rouges impressionnants du nez sont en retrait et peinent à émerger. Je sens un côté vin rouge qui me dérange un petit peu. La finale est dans le prolongement de la bouche avec plus d’amertume boisée et une légère acidité. Un magnifique nez, hélas tempéré par une bouche plus banale. Les amateurs de finition en fûts de Sherry vont adorer.

Degustační kalendář Pavla Špačka vol. 4. A také Zlatá edice adventní kalendáře RFC 2025. Velmi výrazný finish.

Solidní Mauricius, do něhož se hodně propsalo oloroso. Ve vůni i v chuti dominují tóny červeného ovoce, sherry a červeného vína, je tam i dřevo a nějaká čokoláda. Celou láhev bych asi nedal, ale jednou za čas, proč ne.

Review by Roman Lelek
Ať first impression I feel the typical warmth of agricole… The color is dark oak, more dark brown. The nose contains fruits and spices mixed with woody tones. The taste - for me is quite strong - warm, little bit alcoholic, but doesn’t hurt . There are tones of red wine, chocolate, wood…quite interesting is that it’s some kind of sour..definitely not sweet.. I wouldnt buy the whole bottle, because of the price:advantages ratio- i would pick up different bottle..but as a sample….it is fine, interesting, so next one please.

Ve vůni dominuje oloroso finiš. Chuť je hodně po vínu, dost koření a tříslovin. Základ je dost upozaděný, ale ve výsledku mi to chutná.

Hodně připsány finish, celkem sladke
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Hodne zajimave, netipoval bych destinaci. Krasna barva tmave hneda. Krasne steka po stene sklenicky. Ve vuni drevo a sherry. V chuti je krasne citit drevo a vyrazne sherry. Dojezd stredne dlouhy a na konci citit krasne tresne a lehce trpke. Alkohol dobre integrovan

Pavel Špaček degu kalendář 4 2024 Tuhle lahev jsem nikdy neviděl a Chamarel by byl to poslední, co bych tipoval 😄... Povedený kousek s tóny sušeného ovoce, dřeva, kůže, kávy, čokolády, koření, červeného vína. Připadá mi velmi jemný a nasládlý, vůbec bych mu netipoval 55% 👍
