The Nectar Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams
People who chase funky, high-ester whites and love brined olives in a glass are the audience here. This Le Galion is loud and polarizing: black olive, menthol, beef jerky, medicinal notes, tropical fruit and a whiff of solvent. Several tasters swear it smells more Jamaican than Martinique. At 59% the heat is oddly tame, but this is a "love it or hate it" bottle, not an everyday pour.
The community says- Big funky character
- Olive and menthol
- Very polarizing

How does The Nectar Le Galion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Wild, olive-and-menthol funky white Divisive by design. Fans of funky, olive-and-menthol whites find it exciting and complex; others call it disjointed and too extreme. Nearly everyone agrees: not an everyday dram.

Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
A bomb. Black olive brine on the nose and glue, followed by an explosion of dark chocolate and salt on the palate. Superb. Deguste à l'aveugle a la soirée Rhum Club Paris (Hôtel Maison Mère)
Review by Jakob
Love it or hate it - completely your own profile. I like Le Galion well, even if I can understand that not everyone will be happy here. The bottling has similarities with the Grand Arômes of Savanna, but again brings a somewhat spicy-herbaceous note purely, which in return the fruit ester sharpness somewhat invalidates - if one can speak of it at all here. Worth trying in any case!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est plutôt puissant avec des notes végétales et herbacées, des solvants jamaïcains. Le tout adoucie par le fût de Sherry. On retrouve donc des esters, de l’olive, des fruits tropicaux … le tout s’enrobant dans l’atmosphère d’une file d’attente de chez le pharmacien. En bouche c’est explosif et complexe, cela part dans tous les sens comme un feu d’artifice. On est vraiment sur quelque chose d’expérimental et sans contrôle ! C’est porté sur le végétal, l’herbe fraichement coupée au matin, du raisin sec, de l’orange, du vernis, des solvants, de la menthe, du sucre brûlé …
Review by alex
Assez déconcertant, car au nez on pense tout de suite à un jamaïcain, donc on est loin des marqueurs habituels de la Martinique. C’est assez agréable au nez, et à la bouche également. Belle longueur, on ne sent pas du tout les 59 degrés.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Had a nice The Nectar tasting yesterday in preparation for today's Renegade tasting, which I really look forward to. Nice and fruity rum from nose to finish and the palate adds a bit of smoke, menthol and spices to it. There is some spiciness to it but I can't put my finger on whether it's pepper or ABV coming through, no netter what, I like it.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Ziemlich extremes Teil aber kein Wunder bei galion als Ausgangsprodukt und dann noch in PX & DOK Fässer gepackt :D Olive, Menthol, Beef jerky, etwas gebackene Banane, vergorenen tropische Früchte und Zuckerrohr und insgesamt eher süß/sauer. Spannend aber nichts für jeden Tag 😂
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
Un nez qui ferait penser à un jeune Jamaïcain. Une bouche plus douce que je ne l'attendais Un léger côté tourbé pas dérangeant et même agréable. C'est sympa ! Plus facile à boire que je ne l'aurais cru.

Sehr spezieller Rum, in sich nicht ganz stimmig. Im Vergleich gefällt mir der SBS deutlich besser.
