Trois Rivières 12 Years - Carafe
Sip this one neat and let it sit — the bourbon-cask aging shows up as dark wood, tobacco and dried fruit, with enough caramel and vanilla to round off the dry edge. Tasters catch red fruit, spice and an earthy, leathery finish that lingers. One reviewer swore it drank like it was over 50%, though it's 42%. A wood-forward agricole, not a sweet one.
The community says- Wood-caramel balance
- Tobacco and dried fruit

How does Trois Rivières 12 Years - Carafe taste?
Aggregated from 50 community reviews.
Dry, woody agricole with tobacco and red fruit Well-liked as a wood-and-tobacco agricole with red-fruit and caramel balance. A few feel it's less complex than pricier Trois Rivières bottlings, but most call it a rich, honest pour.

La Route des Rhums Adventskalender 2023 Nr. 7. Hierbeinn42%iger Trois Riviers aus Martinique. Nase finde ich sehr erfrischend, irgendwie funk, außerdem holzig und etwas Vanille. Am Gaumen dann überwiegend Holz, Fass und Gewürze, aber sehr lecker.

Whisky Live Paris 2024 Messetasting. Limited time spent in the glass, initial impressions from tasting.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
When looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A well balanced rum with nice fruits and spices. The wood is well balanced with the caramel and earthy notes. The empty glass has some sugarcane and apple.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Trois Rivières slightly more aromatic than the 1999 vintage. Earthy tobacco notes mingle with the sugarcane, dried fruit and sweet spices on the nose. The palate is suave, bordered by spices and caramel, the latter bringing a great deal of sweetness to the juice. The finish doesn't really bring out any additional aromas, but is relatively long and faithful to the structure on the nose and palate. It's not the most complex of the Trois Rivières, but it's a cut above some of the more "prestigious" cuvées on paper.
Review by Rodolphe
Ressemble beaucoup à son homologue le 1999, il s'en rapproche beaucoup (et est sûrement moins cher) car il est bien marqué par son élevage en fût de Bourbon. C'est un beau produit mais je lui préfère d'autres agricoles que j'ai pu gouter sur le salon dans la meme gamme. (Après, c'est de la dégustation rapide dans un lieu pas ideal non plus, il faudrait le comparer avec le 99 dans de meilleures conditions)
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is full-bodied and perfumed, with slightly unripe red fruits, dark wood, a bit of tobacco, and at the back even something like coffee and milk chocolate. On the palate the red fruits(especially black cherry and raspberry) blend with an intense and full-bodied woodiness, at times pungent, and extremely delicious. The finish also adds some tobacco, apple, round spices and a slightly earthy hint. It seems to have +50°. It leaves the mouth flavored with a woody, corky aftertaste for more than half an hour after finishing drinking. Very good contrast between the sweetness of the Bourbon cask and the dryness of the wood, fully reflecting the 3R profile that I personally love. It seems the 2006CS more diluted and less complex. In the empty glass wood, slight roast, tobacco. Fluctuates between 9.1 and 9.2

Pas mal mais manque de profondeur. Jolie carafe cependant
Review by Julien Jean'Mich
Un de mes rhums préféré. Un rapport qualité prix au top. Le nez vous emporte dans le bois et les épices bien rondes. La bouche est boisée, du tabac et des épices, un peu fruitée aussi, un agricole tout en rondeur et très flatteur. Un finale moyenne mais très agréable cependant. Trois rivières signe un rhum qui vaut bien plus son prix que nombre de rhums trop sur côtés. Je vous le recommande vivement.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Avent 2023. Très bon vieux avec la complexité et la richesse de son âge. Le nez est riche dense et profond sur le caramel-vanille avec des épices su cuir et un peu de bois. En bouche tout se retrouve en gourmandise cuir cigare pruneaux, le boisé léger, avec presque une sucrosité. La longueur est moyenne à longue, toujours tabac épices , et réglisse. Une réussite.
Review by laudhar
Un nez élégant où se mélangent fruits, épices et bois.
