The Duchess Labourdonnais Mauritius 9 2010
"Endlich Agricole mit Bums," as one member put it — this cane-juice rum from Mauritius hits with sharp ginger, chili and green pepper over ripe mirabelle and citrus peel. It tastes younger than its nine years, still full of raw sugarcane. Neat at 57.9% the alcohol dominates until you give it air; let it breathe and it rounds out.
The community says- Sharp ginger spice
- Ripe mirabelle fruit
- Hot at full proof

How does The Duchess Labourdonnais Mauritius 9 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Spicy, cane-forward Agricole with real punch Opinions run from "krasse Nummer" to a flat fail — most agree the palate has punch but the nose stays thin and the heat needs taming with time.

sharp intense ginger, fully ripe mirabelle, some kumquat jam, mixed with light herbal notes and young wood, green pepper and cardamom, as well as buttery, raw cookie dough with rose water, very cool, finally time Agricole with bums!he needs some time to breathe, before the alcohol is very present and not so well integrated, but after some time it becomes really round 🤤

Not recognizable as R(h)um, let alone as a distillate from Mauritius. Failed. Labourdonnais has a beautifully laid out small distillery with all the trimmings, but in my opinion they simply can't produce really good rum for discerning palates (but really fine spiced rums!!!). Update 2024-04-24: A really difficult rum. The actually quite interesting woodruff note is very one-dimensional and is also ruined by the sharp alcohol. No recommendation.
Review by Harald
Farbe: Weißwein Geruch: Zu Beginn süß und schwach fruchtig (Litschi) und floral. Riecht nach Zuckerrohr und Zitrusfrüchten sowie etwas Vanille. Zudem deutlich floral. Insgesamt aber recht zurückhaltend. Geschmack: Im Mund pflanzlich mit Zuckerrohr und etwas Vanille. Beim Schlucken dann intensiv und kräftig, eine Explosion von Aromen. Alkoholisch-scharf. Holzig, kräuterig und sehr würzig mit viel Ingwer, Chili und Pfeffer. Abgang: Mittellang und trocken Pflanzlich, würzig, holzig und alkoholisch. Im Nachgeschmack trocken, pflanzlich, salzig und bitter. Vom Geschmack her finde ich ihn recht lecker. Der hat richtig Bums. Vom Geruch her ist er mir etwas zu schwach und wenig ausgeprägt.

#4552 16.01.2024 Enjoying a little sample now that I've decided to participate in the meet up in Steinhorst. Really looking forward to meeting some new faces and rummies. This is an OK rum but not one I'd go back to as such. A fruity profile that I think is out of balance. Nice floral notes and a pinch of chocolate in t he profile. The palate is warm/spicy with an earthy note. The finish is medium long and spicy with fruits. The empty glass has light tobacco and faint leather.
Review by MarcT
A very nice Agricole this is. It tastes quite young, not really 9 years old (maybe continental aging or a quite neutral cask?), but this makes it a Rum that has not lost its sugarcane origins. The roughness of young Agricoles is mild here, but as other said: have it breathe a while. I like it very much, it seems to be an easy sipper. The second attempt was a bit less pleasant, there was a big alcohol burn, thus reducing the overall rating.
Review by Christian Rudt
Very floral aroma density. Would like to see a little more fruit, especially on the nose. On the palate then a little more fruit and spice. The finish lacks a little power.
