Saint Gilles Compagnie du Rhum 50's
One taster called this "a piece of rum history" — an extinct style worth trying if you're a nerd about this stuff. It's dark and roasted with molasses that just keeps going, and several drinkers said it reminds them more of Guyana or old Demerara than a typical Martinique. A little bitter, a touch one-dimensional, but genuinely interesting in the glass.
The community says- Endless molasses
- Rare vintage style
- But: Slightly one-dimensional

How does Saint Gilles Compagnie du Rhum 50's taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Dark, roasted, molasses-heavy old-style rum People taste more Guyana than Martinique here — dark, roasted, molasses-heavy. Loved by enthusiasts for the rare old style, though a few found it a bit thin and one-note.

Erinnert an Guyana mit etwas Savanna. Dunkel, röstig. Aber auch etwas eindimensional. Trotzdem flüssige Geschichte.
Review by Nivius
Hat mich total an den 7-jährigen MoonImport Enmore Ehp erinnert - fiel zwar im vergleich zu dem, an was ich mich erinnere schwächer aus - aber ich bin mir sicher, dass es dieser Rum war, dem auch andere Demeraranoten nachsagen. Hätte ich definitiv gerne eine Flasche von und war sehr froh ihn auf dem rumfest probieren zu können :3 also wenn bei den Bewertungen hier jemand eine loswerden will <-- schreibt mir 😇
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probiert auf dem 12. GRF: Wieder mal ein Stück Rum-Geschichte, ein ausgestorbener Stil. Als Nerd sollte man das probiert haben. Erinnert etwas an Guyana, dunkel, röstig. Die Melasse macht sich stark bemerkbar.
Review by Jakob
Schöner Martinique mit klassischen Grand-Arôme-Anklängen. Etwas bitter am Gaumen, aber sehr angenehm zu trinken.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super leckerer ungewöhnlicher vintage Martinique rum den ich blind eher in Richtung Guyana gesteckt hätte. Gut 40% ungewöhnlich aromatisch und kräftig mit einer intensiven Melasse Aromatik. Schöne Überraschung!
