Latitudes Le Galion Grand Arôme Baie du Galion
Anyone deep into Caroni or high-ester oddballs should meet this one. It's a grand arôme molasses rum from Martinique bottled at a hefty 60% — glue, varnish and iodine on the nose, then pineapple, olive and a salty caramel sweetness underneath. One member calls it unlike anything the usual Martinique brands make. Full-throttle neat, and still complex in a Ti Punch.

Wild grand arôme funk for Caroni fans Reviewers call it genuinely unusual and very complex — a Kenner rum. Most love the wild profile; one felt the fermented sugarcane note ran a bit too far.

Review by Korkennase
Hui... a really extraordinary rum, in the nose, in taste and in general. Who is looking for something extraordinary is right here. I have never drunk a rum like this before. This rum is something for connoisseurs, very complex. I drank the rum pure and felt the full force 😵. Long finish with some sweetness out the back. Even in Ti Punch incredibly complex, not to be compared with the usual brands from the island of Martinique. I think this rum would also be what for the friends of Caroni and Co. what. 🥃
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
deutlich süffiger, aber auch weniger komplex wie der fine drams galion grand arome. dennoch sehr lecker. Hauptsächlich ananas, Banane, Sesam-Honig, Karamellbonbon und dunkle Schokolade mit fleur de sel. dazu schöne Oliven Noten die alles gut ergänzen. im daiquiri dominieren Olive, Heu und metallische Noten, sowie unreife Ananas und Kakao mit Salz. insgesamt gefällt mir der fine drams aber noch besser!

Für mich ein perfekter Galion!
Review by Morgan Garet
A great successful aroma blending red and tropical fruits with indelible markers/glue and varnish. It's round and powerful at the same time. They know how to do everything in Martinique.
Review by Renato
Nez riche et puissant, goût très typé whisky, belle longueur harmonieuse.
