Romdeluxe Poisson Guadeloupe Single Cask 2018

Made for drinkers who like their agricole dressed up in sweet-wine fruit: this Poisson spent time in a Madeira cask and it shows. Expect cherry, dried fruit, port and cedar with a brown-sugar sweetness that's unusual at nearly 62%. Fans call it a lovely, mellow sipper; others feel the cask "macht das Destillat platt" and buries the cane. Genuinely split.

The community says

The look inside the bottle

How does Romdeluxe Poisson Guadeloupe Single Cask 2018 taste?

Aggregated from 38 community reviews.

Cask-driven agricole, cherry and port, polarizing Divides the room. Many love the cherry-and-port richness and how well the alcohol hides; skeptics say the Madeira finish flattens the agricole into something closer to fortified wine.

Perfect for

Agricole drinkers who enjoy heavy Madeira/port cask influence and cherry-forward fruit

Less suitable for

Purists who want clean, grassy cane character without a dominant sweet-wine finish

02.03.2024 Retasting at the whiskymessen and I stick to my score. ------------------ #4597 26-27.01.2024 Tried this rum several times at the event because it's so nice and mellow and an atypical Agricole and especially from Pere Labat. A lovely and mellow rum and I ordered two bottles ☺️ Nose Elegant and fine, light wood and roasted notes, light, fruits, light caramel. Palate Oily, elegant, wood, light roasted, fruity, natural sweetness, faint Agricole notes. Finish Medium to long, wood, elegant, cherry, light herbs.

Ernsthaft? Das Finish (?) macht das Destillat vollständig platt. Süße, klebrig, eine komische kräutrige Unternote und dann wieder nur süß. Alkohol ist sehr schlecht eingebunden. Die vielen guten Bewertungen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Das Zeug schmeckt schlicht nach hochgesprittetem Süßwein.

Nice smooth rum. Tastes like a stronger Foursquare with a little more depth.

Naja, woher dieser Rum die guten Bewertungen verschließt sich mir ein wenig. Meines Erachtens macht hier das Finish mal wieder alles kaputt. Erinnert mich ein wenig an diese Eigenabfüllung von RumParadies. Ich schmecke von dem Grundstoff sehr wenig. Hinzu kommt so eine komisch Kräuter/Mentholnote die irgendwo in Madeirawein endet mit einer unangenehmen Säure. Mal so gar nicht mein Geschmack. Gut, aber nicht gut genug für meinen Gaumen, zu medizinisch. Edit: Nochmal in Ruhe verkostet, ich bleib dabei, dieser holt mich nicht ab. Im Abgang bzw. Nachklang habe ich nur das säuerliche und bittere trockene Weinfass, nichts was annähernd an einen Rum erinnert

Very dominant Madeira finish, which makes the rum very drinkable and produces beautiful dark, intense notes. Clearly not a complexity monster, but simply round and delicious - despite the strength of over 60%. I'll keep an eye out for a bottle here. ☺️🥃

Bittere Noten, Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Das beste ist der Abgang. Insgesamt gefühlt schon oft erlebt. Ein mittelmäßiger Rum wird mit einem gehörigen Fasseinfluss eines Süssweins gefällig gemacht. Laaaangweilig!!!

Die Nase eröffnet kräftig alkoholisch und mit reifen Kirschen! Der Alkohol ist schon recht stechend in der Nase aber die Kirschen gefallen mir sehr gut. Erster Eindruck am Gaumen leider auch sehr vom Alkohol geprägt. Dann Kirschen, Mandeln, Würze und Fass. Im Nach kommt noch ein wenig Lakritz dazu. Hmm, der kann mich nicht so richtig überzeugen. Die Kirschnote ist toll aber insgesamt ist er mir zu sprittig und scharf. Wenn im Nachklang die alkoholische Note abebbt ist er mir am angenehmsten. Gerade noch sehr gut.

Beide Rums wie erwartet sehr fasslastig. Wer darüber hinweg sehen kann, wird an beiden seinen Gefallen finden. Der Sherry ist holzlastiger, bitterer, und der Alkohol ist schlechter eingebunden. Der Madeira ist süßer, aromatischer und gefälliger am Gaumen. Von Guadeloupe ist hier nicht mehr viel übrig, als handwerklich gemachte Dessert-Rums auf jeden Fall geeignet.
