Aroma visualization from community tastings
Longueteau GENESIS Collection 2017
Wet hay, fresh-cut grass and green sugarcane, with citrus zest and a floral, almost licorice edge — this is unaged Guadeloupe agricole at full column-still strength. The near-constant refrain from tasters is how well the 72% is buried; several barely feel the heat on the nose. Give it 15-30 minutes and the fruit and herbal notes really open up.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Pure cane character
- Very high ABV

How does Longueteau GENESIS Collection 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Intense, grassy white agricole at full strength Loved by white agricole fans for pure, intense cane and grass with the alcohol shockingly well integrated. A few rank it just below Neisson l'Esprit, and it's not one for casual sippers.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one really kicks a.. and I like it, A LOT. The proof actually helps enhance the flavours and I left it for 15 minutes before nosing and sipping. By then most flavours were already there. After 30 minutes it was at full bloom. The nose is truly Agricole with the vegetal, grassy and wet hay, almost like a meadow. There is also fruit and sugarcane. The palate is also a true Agricole, earthy with grass and wet hay again. The flavours are very intense, in a good way. Spices and floral notes complement the end. The finish is very, very long and warm with a vegetal note.

Vergleichstasting mit RX1247 An der Nase frage ich mich wo denn hier der Alkohol ist, keinerlei alkoholische Schärfe wir und breit! Der Alkohol ist natürlich schon zu vernehmen aber transportiert viel Frucht und grasige Aromen. Dieser hat im direkten Vergleich etwas "schmuddeliges" wie manche Clairins. Am Gaumen geschmacklich blasser als mich die Nase erwarten lassen hat. Trotzdem intensiv, kräftig aber nicht so ausdifferenziert. Wenn im Nachklang die knapp über 70% ABV langsam nachlassen, treten wieder deutlich mehr Aromen hervor! Ein sehr guter weißer Rum, der sowohl pur aus auch in intensiven Cocktails eine starke Figur macht. Wegen der Nuance an mehr Süße bekommt der Jahrgang 2015 einen Punkt mehr von mir. Beide Abfüllungen sind sich sehr ähnlich und vorbildliche Beispiele dafür, was ausschließlich im Stahltank gereifer Rum kann.

Un grand blanc agricole mais non plus au niveau d'un Neisson l'Esprit
Review by David
Less nose and less complex than the Neisson bio
Review by TheJackDrop
Bouteille à moitié vide, on reprend les bases avec ce pur agricole, bien marqué Longueteau notamment sur une canne ultra fraîche, assez grasse, des agrumes bien présentes. C’est vif mais équilibré, ça chauffe un peu mais loin de l’idée de 72 degrés qu’on peut avoir en regardant l’étiquette. Un vrai must have. Les versions vieillies doivent être folles ! Faut que je goûte ça :)

Explosion florale
Review by Jean Louisss
The cream of the whites quite simply. With the very recognizable longteau framework, it can be drunk without moderation.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Strawberry, fermented pineapple and and overripe kiwi on the nose, as well as a lot of fresh and buttery notes. amazingly mild! in the taste then also surprisingly mild and an explosion of grapefruit peel, mint, as well as apricot and hazelnut with a few hard to define herbs and violets. very complex and intense and alcohol wonderfully integrated for the strength. impressive!in the daiquiri he is not quite as well suited as I had hoped, therefore 2 points deduction.
Review by Serge
Fruchtig Olivige Nase und reichhaltig süß im Geruch. Auch der Gaumen sehr süß und fruchtig. Im direkten Vergleich gefällt mir der Neisson Esprit mit seiner trockenere Art leicht besser … er bringt für mich die Essenz dessen, was ich mir von einem BDC erwarte besser und passt besser im Ti Punch
Review by zabo
Für mich ist diese Sparte des Rum nichts zum pur trinken. Muss zugeben, dass es nicht wirklich so meinen Geschmack trifft. Denoch ist es ein sehr feiner Tropfen, den ich mir sehr gut als Mixer in einem Ti-Punch z.B. sehr gut vorstellen kann.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
A bomb, lots of herbaceous and after a while also fruity hints. Balanced and with well integrated alcohol. I consider it quite fresh and enveloping but still very different from aged products, indeed they should be split into two different categories in my humble opinion. It needs time to express itself at its best also in view of the high alcohol content, a real bomb but it did not bother me too much, on the contrary I found it very firm in character but not aggressive. Long finish, indeed very long even in view of the alcohol content. (PS: the rating, like the impressions, are purely personal).
Review by Renato
L'expression intense d'un rhum agricole. Très vert avec de la rondeur. Archétypique.
Review by Fasen
A natural cane which offers us fresh notes of citrus fruits (Limes / Orange), very vegetable (Hay / Medicinal herb), of peppers. This cane brings us its sugar just cooked, slightly thick as candied, with the side (Floral / Liquorice) we would have the impression to have a drink type cola at the end of mouth.the rum and also rather milky as a yoghurt.In short, it is a sugar cane which is sublimated with this brut de colonne, we manage to be as close as possible to this one it is very interesting and very good!
