Isautier Rhum Louis & Charles Edition
The surprise here is how much flavor sits in a 45% bottle — several tasters expected thin and got the opposite. Expect orange and sour gooseberry, chocolate and nougat, oak and warm spice like nutmeg and anise, with a light eucalyptus note in the back. A blend of molasses rum and cane-juice agricole that reads more traditionnel than grassy, and drinks round and easy.

The look inside the bottle
How does Isautier Rhum Louis & Charles Edition taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Spicy, citrus-and-chocolate Réunion sipper Most find it balanced and layered for the low ABV — a genuinely nice sipper. A couple felt it thin next to the older bottles in the range and pricey for a young one.

Review by Frank
Despite only 45%, this Isautier has a very beautiful, multi-layered bouquet. Nose: delicately spicy and pleasantly woody. In addition to the spice of nutmeg and caraway, it has a very soft sweetness of nougat and chocolate. There are also delicate fruity notes of gooseberry, blackcurrant and orange. Everything closes wonderfully with herbs and a fine eucalyptus note. 8,4 The impressions from the nose are similar on the palate: spicy and woody, with nutmeg and caraway, plus a slight peppery note. Clearly fruity, bitter orange peel with tart gooseberry. An impression of hay, saffron and a hint of eucalyptus at the back. It doesn't need a higher ABV and that is a sign of quality. 8,0
Review by Godspeed
Quite light compared to the Alfred and certainly compared to the Antoinette. This is the youngest of the three and it shows in comparison. For 94€ there are frankly far better rums to be had. That being said the flavor is well integrated and the mix of rhum traditionnel and agricole is generally successful, it’s just a bit expensive for what it is.
Review by Boletus
Diese Mischung aus Melasse-Rum und Agricole ist in sich durchweg stimmig, rund und verleitet zum unbeschwerten Süffeln, wobei das Mundgefühl zu keinem Zeitpunkt wässrig oder lasch ist. Bei etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit entpuppt sich der Rhum zudem als hübsch komplex mit Noten von Kräuter, Gewürzen, Schokolade, Früchten und nicht übertriebener Eiche. Gefällt mir echt gut!
Review by Thunderbird
This Isautier surprises me... and in a very positive way! Despite the low ABV, it offers plenty of aromas of tart fruit, chocolate, spices and a little wood on the nose and palate. A really good sipper. The dilution has definitely been successful here
Review by Leo Krüper
Very interesting. Some rubber, tar, tea. Hardly any Agricole tones in the nose or palate. However, recognizable on the finish. The fruitiness gives way to dirty tones as the glass progresses. Not a world class rum but a nice experience.
Review by Jakob
Ausgewogenes Profil mit frischen Zitrusfrüchten, schwerer Süsse von Steinobst und Nougat, Heu, Schokolade, Eichenholz sowie dezentem Pfeffer, Piment und Anis. Ansprechendes, stimmiges Aromenspiel, das mit vielfältigen Geschmacksnuancen zu gefallen weiss.

Review by zabo
Im heutigen Vergleich traten der RX5826 und RX19571 gegeneinander an. Überzeugen konnten mich beide nicht wirklich, wobei die Abfüllung von Swell de Spirits meines Erachtens der bessere von beiden ist.
Review by Johannes
Für die niedrigen Prozent erstaunlich viel Geschmack. Holz, Zitrus, rote Früchte. Erinnert mich sehr an einen Bellevue von Guadeloupe.
