Alte Tabakstube (Stuttgart) Le Galion Martinique Grand Arôme 2023

A neat-only tasting glass rum, and a wild one: smoke, olive, bacon and glue up front, then red fruit, pineapple and a big fermented tang, drying hard at the end. Several tasters guessed Savanna Grand Arôme blind. The umami-meat-and-cheese profile makes it "outside what I will ever appreciate" for some, and a favorite for others. Very dry, very intense.

  • Intense complexity

The look inside the bottle

How does Alte Tabakstube (Stuttgart) Le Galion Martinique Grand Arôme 2023 taste?

Aggregated from 39 community reviews.

Wild, smoky, savory Grand Arôme bomb Loved by most as an intense, savory Grand Arôme bomb — smoke, bacon, olive, red fruit. But the fermented cheese-and-BBQ side genuinely turns some people off. Divisive by nature.

Perfect for

Fans of high-ester funk and savory, smoky Grand Arôme profiles

Less suitable for

Anyone who dislikes sour, cheesy, fermented flavors

I personally can't drink it😃 sweet, super sour, salty, smoky and fermented/fermented. Quite a wild number and unfortunately not my cup of tea! Especially this sweet and sour cheese note doesn't go down well with me, sorry! 😃🫣

Calendrier de l’Avant RumX, jour 11. Un nez chaud d’esters et de fruits, de la banane, du vieux bois verni et un côté goudron d’isolation. Les fruits attaquent en premier en bouche, mais ils disparaissent assez vite laissant la place au vieux bois verni recouvert de goudron d’isolation avec un côté fumé prononcé. La finale ajoute encore une couche d’amertume de plus en plus forte. Tout à la fin de la douceur tempère ces amers et redonne de l’équilibre.

Sehr fruchtig in der Nase. Kirsche und Ananas. Karamell. Sehr rauchig, Politur und alte Komode. Gut balanciert und gute Alkoholintegration. Im Mund dann sehr pelzig, scharf. Lösemittel, Holz. Hatte ich gesagt pelzig? Kurzer, funky Abgang. Ananas und Birne. Handwerklich sicher top. Die rauchige Nase find ich toll. Aber ich ahnte es schon: An einem Schaffell zu nuckeln ist nicht mein Fall. 🐑🐑🐑 80er Range fürs Handwerk und die Nase, 50er (für Angenehm in den 60er reicht es nicht für das Mundgefühl).

Blind tasting 11.12.2024 Nose: Glue, resin, dirty, orange Palate: whisky, smoky, cough syrup, eucalyptus Finish: Medium length, smoky, whisky, orange, eucalyptus Alcohol 58% Score 9.0 Tip: Bellevue 1998 ----------- Wow, what a crazy nose: cheese, nuts, dried fruit... immediately reminds me of Clairin but has much more! The palate is again very unusual: soft, spicy, sweet licorice, medicinal, a little dirt. This is a rum completely off the beaten track and off the beaten track! The wild aromas are beautifully framed by a subtle barrel note. The medium-long finish fades with beautiful roasted aromas and then I suddenly notice a very distant hint of eucalyptus! The cheese note lingers until the end 😁 Reminds me of the whisky from Säntis Dreifaltigkeit, great stuff! I suspect this rum will divide opinion widely. I like it very much! Thanks Oliver for the sample!

Étonnante expérience qui m'a fait immédiatement penser à de la nourriture asiatique : des brochettes de viande fumée à la sauce de soja sucrée...... Dégusté à l'aveugle, j'avais beaucoup de doutes : le fumée très présent me faisait penser à Fiji mais le côté citron de l'attaque ne semblait pas correspondre. Le Galion en effet, avec du recul ça y ressemble même si c'est la première fois que j'en goûte un aussi fumé... Je lui aurais par contre donné+60° d'alcool ce qui me fait dire qu'il n'est pas bien intégré. Une expérience intéressante mais pas des plus plaisantes pour moi.

RumX Advent Calendar Day 11 Nose... Very fruity, gummy bears, strawberries chewing gum sweet, cherries some fruit esters. Palate... At first very fruity, ester strawberries and cherry, shortly afterwards it changes significantly to dry, salty, woody bitter almost musty, developing excellent spiciness and a very complex effect. Finish Nutty and chocolate.

8.3/10

Zumindest mal eine sehr spannende Abfüllung mit komplexen Aromenprofil. Sehr fruchtig nach Erdbeere und Kirsche. Holzig, rauchig, leicht speckig und vergoren. Dazu recht viel Säure, aber es kommt auch wieder das Sherry-Fass durch. Auf jeden Fall interessant, aber mir reicht davon ein 2cl Sample.
