ReimonenQ Reimonenq - Millesime 2007
Nearly everyone here is floored — this 17-year Guadeloupe agricole pulls scores into the 9.3+ range for its dark, syrupy density: sour cherry, cassis, cocoa, leather and a cooling menthol streak. The one recurring hesitation is a heavy, almost liqueur-like sweetness; a couple of tasters suspect a Paxarette-style cask and say the violet/floral note can dominate. Doesn't drink like a typical agricole at all.

How does ReimonenQ Reimonenq - Millesime 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 39 community reviews.
Dark, syrupy agricole, sweet and hugely complex Most tasters call it one of the best agricoles they've had — thick, complex, cassis-and-menthol rich. The catch: unusually sweet, and a few find the floral/violet note or suspected cask treatment too much.

Review by FischeJ
Wow! The fruit practically jumps right into your nose. Cherry and cassis describe it very well. But alongside that, there's a depth. Vanilla, caramel, tobacco. Great. Saying it's complex is almost an understatement. In the mouth, the wild—or in this case harmonious—ride continues. Along with the all-encompassing fruitiness comes a menthol kick. Intense and deep. Plus recurring hints of caramel, vanilla, tobacco, leather. Really impressive.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wow! Was für eine Granate! Und was für eine wunderschöne dunkle Farbe mit langen und dicken Schlieren die sich am Glas entlangziehen... An der Nase intensive Noten an der Nase von Sauerkirschen, schwarzen Johannisbeeren, etwas Minze, Thymian, sowie dunkle Schokolade und Leder und viel Einfluss von Eichenholz. Geschmacklich dann eine angenehme Süße und Säure die an karamellisierte schwarze Johannisbeeren erinnert. Abgerundet mit etwas Minze und Lavendel, sowie Orangenschalen-Abrieb. Im Abgang etwas kräftige bittere Schokolade, Tonkabohne und angenehme Tannine vom Eichenfass. Süß-sauer, dezent bitter und würzig, unfassbar schwer, dick und ölig konzentriert und mit einer wahnsinnigen Eleganz und Vollmundigkeit am Gaumen. Ich hab wirklich selten so eine Dichte Komplexität am Gaumen erlebt. Mit Abstand einer der besten Tropfen den ich jemals im Glas hatte, danke für den Split an Alex und an Rob für die Empfehlung! Meine Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt! 😍😍😍 Erinnert unfassbar stark an eine richtig gute Creme de Cassis mit dieser super geilen süß-sauren karamellisierten Aromatik!🤩
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
I'll eat my hat if this rum doesn't skyrocket in ratings despite the breathtaking price. It's just unbelievably good. As a "rustic palate," I obviously don't pick up as many fine details as crazyforgoodbooze, but I can almost fully agree with his review, especially regarding the density and quality. The only difference is that I mainly smell and taste tea. The best rum I've had in a long time. A masterpiece. Proof me wrong.
Review by LukaŽiga
9,4:On the nose, a top agricole with sugarcane, minty, vegetal with thyme, roasted oak and notes like cocoa, perhaps dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spicy, tons of various fruits like dried currants, prunes, red fruits with sour cherry, hints of coconut, citrus fruits, bump into our nosetrils...so round and balanced.👌 On aeration, the sugarcane becomes flowery, earthy, new wave of fruits join like raisins, dried apricots and figs, black currants, some leather and allspice. 9,1:On the palate, the attack is delicious with sweet sugarcane honeycomb, grassy, minty, flowery with lavender, later black tea, eucalyptus, slightly mineral, various fruits like dried figs, apricots, yellow fruits, citrus with orange peel, black currant, later dark berries and bitter orange, as the oak is roasted with caramelized burnt sugar, cocoa, tonka bean, dark, when the rum is well oxidized, even milk chocolate, spicy with vanilla. 9,2:The finish is very round, long, dry, full bodied, concentrated, delicious, with notes from the palate lingering on forever...😋.

Endlich hab ich paar cl ergattern können... Vielen lieben Dank an dieser Stelle an Rob ... dann bin ich mal gespannt 💥... Unglaublich tolle Nase sehr komplex Agricole kommt sehr gut raus schön Blumige dabei seidenzart und viele leckere Früchte, Leder etwas Kakao es geht quasi endlos weiter ... Herrlich. Am Gaumen steht er der Nase nix nach sehr ähnlich der Nase nur zusätzlich schön Mundraum füllend und ölig. Affengeiler Stoff !!!!
Review by Serge
What madness... awesome rum. From the nose to the finish, a poem. Strong combo of rich, heavy aging with a great light fruitiness (red fruits, sour cherry, raspberry) and a nice menthol freshness. An exceptional rum – also for molasses fans. It's been running through my head since yesterday. Going for another one. One point up.

#5897 27.10.2025 Enjoying a few samples after work while watching the new TV series "IT: Welcome to Derry" Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, agricole, sugarcane, light floral, light herbs, citrus. Palate Medium intense, warm, wood, light roasted, dry, peppery, grass, light tea, light ginger, light floral, herbs, citrus. Finish Long and warm, wood, herbs, medium spicy, dry, ginger, citrus. Empty glass Light grass, caramel, ginger, light nutts, light mineral. Needs time in the glass to really settle and open up properly. A very nice and wonderful balanced rum.
Review by mto75
I just opened it after a long day, and it practically jumps at me: what is this! The very first impression: wow! Incredibly dark and almost syrupy thick. Thanks to the rather low ABV, the density and complexity come through immediately! On the nose, baked plum, dried dates, red fruits, currants, orange peel, furniture wax, butterscotch... really heavy, hard to grasp it all. On the palate, leather, tobacco, caramel, black tea, barrel, bitterness, tannins, earthiness (a bit like Cuban cigars). I'm deeply impressed, for me even above the Velier Damoiseau 1980 Full Proof! Reference!

Excellent stuff. I‘m impressed.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, ein richtig klasse Agricole, gefällt mir echt sehr gut. Ist sehr fruchtig, wir haben viele dunkle Beeren, aber auch Sauerkirsche, Bitterorange, schwarze Johannisbeere und Orangenschale. Klasse Teil.
Review by Thunderbird
Wahrlich, das ist ein excellenter und komplexer Agricole… von der Nase bis zum Abgang überrascht er einen mit immer neuen wechselnden Aromen..einzig ein deutlich wahrnehmbares Veilchenaroma am Gaumen stört mich im Gesamtbild. Das verwehrt ihm eine absolute Spitzenote.
Review by RumTaTa
Farbe und Viskosität alleine sind schon toll. Träge schwappt der Rum beim vorsichtigen Schwenken im Glas hin und her! Nase: vordergründig nicht wie ein klassischer Agricole, erinnert mich auch an Guyana Rum. Der Alkohol ist an der Nase kaum spürbar. Es gibt eine MENGE zu entdecken und ich könnte mich hier schon endlos aufhalten. Gaumen: Das ist kein Rum, das ist ein Sirup 😉! Wahnsinn, wie dicht die Aromen sind. Schwere Süße von gebrannten Zucker, nur ganz leicht bitter, schwarzer Tee und so weiter und so weiter... Nachklang: mittellang, trocken, feine Tannine und wieder vielfältigste Aromen! Das ist mit Leichtigkeit der beste Agricole Rum, den ich bisher im Glas hatte. Das liegt vor allem daran, dass der Rum gar keinen Eindruck wie ein üblicher Agricole macht. Außerdem ist die Alkoholstärke perfekt. Das ist wirklich etwas besonderes und ich empfehle jedem diesen Rum zu probieren, wenn sich die Gelegenheit dazu bietet.
Review by Mopar Rules
What a blast! A fantastic rum on the level of the top demeraras! And prof of my rating for a Reimonenq release (RX4758) at standard abv where I was wondering, how this exceptional rum would be at cask strength. Now I know. If RX4758 already was rated by me at 9.1, this one lifts the bar. I even increase my rating to 9.5. It’s rich, intense, depth, dried fruits, cinnamon, the typical grassy notes linger on the palate endless. A masterpiece!
Review by zabo
11.04.2026 Franconian Tasting Treffen bei Rumurmel. Blind bin ich definitiv nicht auf einen Agricole gekommen. Nachdem ich nun schon viele hochwertige, rare Einhörner im Glas hatte, scheue ich mich nicht davor auch mal ein paar mehr Punkte zu vergeben. Was ein Brett.
Review by cigares
Un très beau nez doux et agréable avec pourtant de la vivacité, des fruits jaunes (mirabelle), des herbes sèches, des fleurs et de la menthe. La première bouche est super agréable avec toujours la mirabelle mais aussi des dattes, de la terre sèche et une sorte de jus de légumes très réduit. La finale est évidemment longue, mais particulièrement douce, surtout à la toute fin. Est-ce qu’il s’agit d’un fût de Paxarete ou de Pedro Ximenes un peu mouillé ? Ce rhum, tout à fait délicieux et complexe à souhait, n’est-il pas un peu trop sucré ? C’est ce qui, à mon goût, lui enlève quelques points.
Review by Skyfly
Ich habe ja schon viel erwartet, aber das es mich so umhaut hätte ich nicht erwartet. Die Aromen sind vom ersten Riechen nach dem Öffnen bis lange in den Abgang extrem intensiv ausgeprägt. Für mich wahrscheinlich der interessanteste Agricole den ich bisher im Glas hatte
Review by Johannes
Oh well, I'm pleasantly surprised! Really a lot of wood with a nice dry sweetness and light mint. Really good!
Review by Righrum
Rhum Fest Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm my score. Absolutely amazing Reimonenq, tried at the VIF area and it was the clear winner. The profile is the usual of the distillery but it was simply overpowered

Expert review by Rob Bauer
Verdammt leckerer Stoff. In der Nase total abgefahrene Dschungelnoten. Hochkomplex, dunkel und schwer. Sehr "Reimonenq". Die Frage ist, ob hier wie bei den alten Demeraras auch etwas mit Fasszusätzen gearbeitet wurde...Die Farbe und sehr ausgeprägte Süße legen dies nahe. Aber definitiv ein historischer, sehr spannender Tropfen.
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
A spectacular nose. That really reminds me of an old reimonenq on steroids. But with the tasting comes a flavour that dominates the rest of the experience, that for me screams paxarette from every corner. The way the sweetness and the raisins work your palate is really comparable to those paxarette monsters of the 1980s whisky world. Only in this instance I feel like it drowns out the rum so immensely, I hardly get to taste it. I feel like a truly great rum was done a huge mis-service here....
