Aroma visualization from community tastings
Montebello Rhum Vieux 6 ans
One taster called it "one of the best ti vieux," and that captures the mood: lots of fresh sugarcane and grass up front, green apple and lime, then it turns woody and oily on the palate with leather, anise and a little pepper. A 6-year Guadeloupe agricole that's clear and easy-going. The recurring wish among members is more power — at 42% it can read a touch thin.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane
- Herbal and grassy
- But: A bit soft

Nez très fruité avec une pomme verte et un citron vert bien présents. Très végétal également. Les marqueurs du nez disparaissent en bouche avec un profil beaucoup plus boisé, huileux, sur le cuir et une touche minérale très fraiche. C'est plutôt sympa. Finale boisée et herbacée, un poil trop courte.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dann haben wir als nächstes einen angenehmen Agricole. Viel Zuckerrohr in der Nase, außerdem leicht erdig und leicht mineralisch. Am Gaumen wieder überwiegend Zuckerrohr, ansonsten noch Kräuter, Gras und Holz.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Auch wenn hier die für Agricole typischen grasigen, herbalen Noten im Vordergrund stehen, finde ich sie weniger intensiv als bei anderen Vertretern. So kommt auch etwas Frucht wie Apfel und Birne zum Vorschein. Alkoholischer Abgang.
Review by Frank
Restrained on the nose, a bit weak on the chest. Herbal with grassy, some freshness of apple and citrus. But then again spicy-sweet from leather and sugar cane.Quite clear on the palate: woody-sweet sugar cane, anise and grassy herbs.Still sugar cane, anise and herbs in not too long finish.Nice, clearly structured and not exhausting. Bit more % would be better.
Review by TheJackDrop
Sûrement une belle bouteille à offrir pour démarrer sur le rhum
Review by passlemix
A light nose, a little buttery, on the cane, with lime quite present. Flashes of indus banana, peach in syrup, orange that I can't find afterwards. Nice sweetness on the palate and a tangy finish. A very nice Guadeloupean (a little more power would be welcome) for a great price.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Now a Montebello Rhum. I don't like it quite as much, it already smells very much of herbs and grass. The taste is also very fresh and herbs dominate. I also find it a little oily on the finish.
Review by Jeff Aïoli
Une bouche centré sur le trio réglisse/citron vert/poivre, mais aussi très orienté vieux bois et canne très végétale. Un rhum assez complexe, très agréable et qui fait un des meilleurs ti vieux.

Un bon rhum de la Guadeloupe decouvert chez Arhum
Review by Steph Genlee
Très peut d’´aromes se dégagent au nez, au niveau du palais, ce Montebello est facile à boire, assez expressif sur les notes fruitées et florales. Très doux, manque un peut d’expression certaines du au faible taux d’alcool.
Review by YoukiPassion
Bon rapport qualité prix
Review by Surcoup Jean
Rhum acheté à Petit bourg directement à la distillerie - très bon rapport qualité prix - 25.50 euros . Faut pas se priver. Et pour ce prix on en a poour son argent. Rhum très bien fait. Gras . Rond . Goudronné. Fondant. Et une belle canne fraîche . Un délice. Comme disent les anglais « Underrated »

Rhum très gourmand. Un nez surprenant vers la pomme rappelant un calvados. Bouche toute aussi gourmande avec des notes pâtissières et caramel
Review by Aromiix
Franchement pas mal
Review by Anonymous
Nez très végétal, herbacé. C’est précis et concentré. On retrouve des fruits à coque (noix, amande) et fruit (nectarine, date). Bouche avec de la tension, le boise ressort avec une amertume en fin de bouche sur de m’épice douce.
