Cazanove Maison Centenaire Superieur des Antilles 1980
A characterful old bottling that divides the room — most find it a fine discovery, one taster admits it nearly turned his stomach. Dry roasted wood leads, with caramel, red wine and dried fruit behind it, plus a whiff of boat tar and licorice. At 40% several reviewers wish it hit harder; the alcohol sits soft and the finish turns dry and tannic with a damp-cardboard edge.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">A genuine vintage curiosity: wood-forward, dry and old-school. Fans call it a lovely find, though more than one wishes it were bottled at higher strength.

Review by cigares
Un nez d’herbes sèches, d’ananas rôti, de fruits jaunes, de bois verni et de goudron de bateau. Une légère acidité avec des agrumes et de la réglisse lui donne de la légèreté. Une belle entrée de bouche, puis la dilution se fait sentir, ensuite les arômes remontent et regagnent en puissance. La finale est assez longue avec de l’acidité, des fruits et un léger carton humide. Une belle découverte ici avec un rhum ample. J’aurais clairement préféré 10 degrés d’alcool supplémentaires pour en révéler tout le potentiel.

Nez assez discret, traces d’encaustique, de bois vernis, arômes subtils avec une pointe de réglisse, alcool faible et mou et retour de carton mouillé en finale
Review by Timo Groeger
Last one for today. Wie der vorherige ist dieser überwiegend holzig. Gefällt mir aber. In der Nase zudem noch leicht würzig und Rotwein ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen wird er dann eher süßlich. Leichte Karamell- und Vanille Noten sind erkennbar.
Review by Pavel Spacek
This rum is so extense aromatic agricole, that I was in doubt if I go to vomit or it is amazing non-replicable rum. I am still not decidet yet, but I kept everything in my stomach. Even if my sense of vomiting was pretty strong :)
