Aroma visualization from community tastings
Longueteau Genesis vieux 2016
Almond paste, chocolate and citrus lead the nose, then a wave of sweetened sugar cane, vanilla and pepper on the palate. At 71.7% it runs hot — several tasters call the attack aggressive — but most agree the alcohol is surprisingly well integrated for the strength. A demanding, "gourmand" aged agricole with a long, spicy, faintly smoky finish. A few still prefer the unaged version.
The community says- Rich cane sweetness
- Long spicy finish
- But: Very high ABV

How does Longueteau Genesis vieux 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Hot, cane-sweet aged agricole with spice Well-liked aged Guadeloupe agricole: rich and cane-sweet with real spice and heat. Integrated for 71.7% but still fiery, and some prefer the unaged Genesis.

#5068 Friday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Light. Nose Intense, light wood, light earthy, spice, light pear, faint olive. Palate Intense, warm, light wood, light tobacco, spice, light salt, faint citrus. Finish Very long and warm, light citrus, light tobacco, faint cinnamon, light salt. Empty glass Lime, light wood, faint olive, faint grapefruit. Needs to rest to really open up properly.

Taste explosion in the offing? Nose: apple/vanilla/nougat Palate: lime/bitter almond/alcohol Finish: rather long with peppery notes Superbly integrated rum, despite the 71.7%, but it still heats up! I'm glad I tasted it, because if I had a bottle, the level would come down very slowly ... I prefer the original, unaged version.
Review by Jakob
Expressiv, fordernd - aber auch sehr spannend zu trinken. Schönes Release.
Review by Morgan Garet
Nez gourmand sur la pâte d'amande,le chocolat, les agrumes (à l'aveugle environ 55°) En bouche c'est toujours gourmand avec les mêmes notes et des épices, la canne bien sucrée prend de l'ampleur. (Entre 60 et 65° à l'aveugle). Finale longue sur la canne et les épices avec quelques notes fumées qui s'invitent après une longue aération. Très bon vieux longueteau, gourmand pour un tel voltage. Je préfère malgré tout la version non vieillie😋
Review by Mc Pirate
Nez assez atypique et complexe. Attaque très agressive mais debouche sur des notes de vanille, fruits secs et finale relativement douce
Review by Djehey
En effet, on sent tout de suite le Genesis vieilli. Intéressant.
Review by EUDIER Vincent
Belle dégustation, gourmand et piquant: un peu trop volatile au nez, mais alcool assez bien intégré en bouche, En bouche un jeu d’épices assez piquant relevé par l’alcool frais, et une belle acidité…
Review by Léo Delek
Chocolat, tarte tatin, céréales, ... me fait penser au profil de neisson.
