La Confrérie du Rhum Rivière du Mât Private Cask 2006
"Even if I don't like french style rum, this one is nice" sums up how it wins people over. A molasses rum from Reunion at 50%, tasting of vanilla, wood and yellow fruit — banana and pineapple — with nutmeg, dark chocolate and a menthol coolness running through. Drier and spicier on the finish. Several tasters call it an easy, untypical sipper that surprises them.

Woody, spiced Reunion sipper with fruit Well liked as a well-balanced, spicy-woody sipper with fruit and mint. A few find it good but not memorable — pleasant without leaving a lasting impression.

Thinking about the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A naturally sweet and fruity profile with some wood and spices. Well balanced and the ABV has been integrated really well. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some mint and medicinal notes.

Belle sélection, sans trop de complexité mais agréable
Review by Johannes
I really like it! Nice balance between wood, vanilla, chocolate, mint and yellow fruits.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really nice thing and totally the surprise! On the nose still fruity, sweet spicy almost nougat chocolates and dried fruit and some mint. Taste then tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, menthol candy, dark chocolate and some chili. Very very round and elegant, then becoming a bit drier and spicier on the finish. Beautiful atypical easy sipping rum from reunion! I really like it! :)
Review by Frank
Molasses rum from Guadeloupe. Am I a great friend of! Nose: Wow, unusual, complex and intense. Beautifully aromatic. Spicy-woody but also fruity. A slight menthol note brings in a dirty freshness. At the beginning salty-peppery with nutmeg, anise and some ginger, but next to it also equal sweetness of maple syrup and brown sugar. Pleasantly fruity with black currant, cherry and gooseberry. Muted at the back, slightly soapy and smoky at the same time. Exciting composition. 8,3 Palate: what immediately stands out are the distinct soapy notes, a menthol freshness and sweet-sour-tart molasses. There is also tobacco and young wood. Somehow it's also fruity, perhaps orange peel with some ginger. Again, nicely complex and not boring. A bit too much soap for me. 7,9
Review by Godspeed
Très bon et avec un profil un peu similaire à Isautier, assez sec et epicé, terreux en fin de bouche, pas trop doux du tout. Rapport qualité prix très bon, mais…normalement quand je déguste quelque chose que j’aime j’ai hâte de procurer une (ou plusieurs) bouteilles. Ce n’est pas le cas ici. Il est vraiment bon mais il marque pas mes émotions d’une manière approfondi. Je me retrouve étant un peu trop logique dans mon appréciation, ce qui n’est pas finalement bon signe. Très bon et bon marché mais il manque le petit je ne sais quoi pour le faire remarquable. Je l’aime bien mais en fin de compte j’ai pas besoin d’une bouteille entière.
