Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L'Or 2005
Black pepper leads here, backed by oak, coffee, dark chocolate and roasted almonds, with red and dried fruit peeking through. It's an intense, oily Martinique agricole from La Mauny, bottled by Chantal Comte at cask strength. Most tasters call it complex and beautifully balanced — a few just wish the pepper eased off. One reviewer blind-tasted it and guessed Foursquare, not agricole.
The community says- Complex and balanced
- Oily, coating body
- But: Very peppery

The look inside the bottle
How does Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L'Or 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Intense, peppery, roasted agricole for sipping People rate this a very good, complex agricole with roasted, spiced depth. The recurring catch: it's peppery enough that some feel the wood spice tips over the top.

Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful nose. Oak dominates, followed by a great glue note and then fruit. Balanced, alcohol well integrated, fresh. In the mouth then a wild ride. Very peppery and powerful. Balanced again on the finish. Very good overall. A very good Agricole, but lacks the brilliant elegance of its two brothers. And meanwhile there is an abundance of similar Agricoles of comparable quality.
Review by Jakob
Very appealing, multi-layered profile with classic agricole markers and plenty of red and dried fruit. Convincing in terms of quality and taste, but still ranks clearly behind the two Chantal Comte releases from 2001 and 2006.
Review by Oliver
Great Agricole with plenty of power. A little too much pepper in the finish for a top rating.
Review by cigares
On the nose, wood and solvent, papaya and banana, floral and herbaceous. Very complex, with all aromas harmoniously blended. The palate is calm on entry, with wood taking the lead, followed by the other aromas, ending with a magnificent finish in which all the flavors play their part. The empty glass brings further aromas of yellow fruit, pear and quince. A splendid rum, dense and austere, complex and full-bodied.

Déguste à l’aveugle je n’aurais jamais imaginé que c’était un agricole. Je suis parti sur un Foursquare! Milieu de bouche un poil décevant mais magnifique intégration de l’alcool.
Review by Mike H.
87 points. Lovely nose and mouth. I would have liked a little more dried fruit and less pepper. But a very good rum nonetheless.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Agricultural rum in all its splendor. The olfactory profile is superb, very balanced and elegant. There's plenty of spice on the nose (vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg) with roasted notes of dark chocolate, coffee, almonds and hazelnuts. Caramel emerges with a pastry-like touch of praline and brown sugar, while floral notes perfume the nostrils after aeration. Fruits, from cherries to raisins to tropical fruits, are also present. The influence is more agricultural than in the 2006 vintage. The attack on the palate is intense, yet subtle in flavor. The spiciness remains dominant on the palate, but a hint of tobacco and bitterness on dark chocolate, coffee and almonds bring a dry, almost tonic edge to the palate. Caramel, nougat and fruit (red and dried) add a touch of sweetness to this lively profile. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is very long. Slightly herbaceous and woody, with spice and a hint of sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste. Though a little rougher than its 2006 counterpart, it's still an autenthic, prestigious and remarkably well-structured rum.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
We're tasting this one right now and we can all agree that it's a very good rum. We are however not entirely in sync on the nose and palate :-) The me the nose is full of spice mixed with some fresh cherries. Then comes almond and coffee with a nice oak finish. The palate is complex, intense and very well balanced with fruits, nougat and vanilla in the front. In the back i can get caramel, coffee and oak. The finish is very long with vanilla and toffee sliding into some barrel feel.
Review by Thunderbird
In der Nase noch recht zurückhaltend entwickelt der Rum am Gaumen sein volles Potential: ölig, cremig verteilt er sich und eine leichte holzige Bitterkeit macht sich breit! Immer neue feine Gewürznoten erscheinen… sehr komplex, am Ende wird er leicht grasig! Ein klasse Rum
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un profil un peu trop sombre et amer à mon goût mais ça reste un bon rhum.
Review by Daniel Jungberg.
Smagning på Oops "Den store romdag" Næsen på eventyr👃: Fornemmer jeg dn friskhed og noter af kaffe eller chokolade Tungen på eventyr 🥃 : Smager jeg en intens smag, som jeg har lidt svært ved at placere. Der er helt klart noget citrus lignende og igen kaffe eller chokolade. Halen på historien💫 : Agricol skal man lære at drikke, og den rejse er jrg stadig på. Super oplevelse. 💪😎
Review by alex
Superbe, légère amertume mais ça reste subtil. Quel régal en tout cas 😍
Review by Alexander Rasch
Meine RumRatings Review von vor 5 Jahren: In der Nase ist der Rhum wunderbar ausbalanciert. Die leichten grassigen Agricole Noten paaren sich mit schönem Eichen Holz, würziger gebrannten Mandel und Nuss. Am Gaumen kommt der Rhum sehr sanft aber direkt. Die Nase wiederholt sich. Die Agricole Noten werden mit würzigen Nuss Noten, Karamel, Holzeinfluss und auch frischen Zitrusfrüchten begleitet. Der Abgang ist dann etwas schwerer mit dunkler Schokolade und Holzeinfluss sowie etwas Zitrus. Agricole Noten bleiben lange bestehen. Ein toller Agricole, welcher schön komplex ist. Der Rhum ist allerdings teuer und für das Geld würde ich mich wahrscheinlich anders orientieren. Da gibt es gleich gute Agricoles für weniger Geld. Aber alles Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Wer es sich leisten kann bekommt einen tollen Rhum.
Review by L' Art Rhumiste
D'une grande classe et d'une maîtrise totale, ce 2005 est magnifique avec un équilibre parfait et d'une complexité folle. Un grand coup de cœur ❤️
Review by Nico Köppe
Wow, ein toller Agricole... Kraftvoll verströmt sein Duft aus dem Glas und das gepfefferte Profil gefällt mir sehr gut. Schönes Holz am Gaumen, absolut nicht störend.
Review by Dimitri Van Loo
Le nez est sur le vieux bois ciré amenant également une touche de gourmandise. L’attaque est vive et très épicée. Au final, on retrouve un peu plus les arômes du nez.
Review by Peder Frits Nielsen
One of my personal Top-three rums - fantastic appearance and a fantastic taste. I’m fortunate enough to have one of these bottles in my Rum-cupboard
Review by Silas Noergaard
Intensely Intense Explosions of flavors, but maybe a touch too much of wood spice and pepper. A nice dram.
