Riviere du Mat XO

will be. .

I don't prefer agricole style, but this is one of the better ones. Aroma is weak and acrid. Taste is typical agricol "crazy" style with fruit and pepper tones.

Very good rum, with a little bit bity taste, real rum for men, not sweet.

Ce rhum traditionnelle est une perle; un nez sympa comme tout, qui donne envie de humer le verre du début à la fin, un goût complexe avec une attaque équilibré, plutôt douce et suave, épicé type vanille/ poivre.
Très beau produit, qui a son petit caractère.
Je vais essayer de trouver d'autres choses de la même distribution.

Very similar to Grand Reserve. It is probably good rum, but I am not really fan of rums with the taste of brandy.

Ruvuere du mat XO
větší očekávání, ale asi není vyloženě můj styl. Vůně ovocná a velmi příjemná a sofistikovaná
Styl připomínající koňak
Chuť výrazná , suchá a lehce pálivá

nice golden / amber colour; elegant aromatic bouquet dominated by cane and dry fruits, especially plum flavour; though spicy this rum still has a soft palate in my view. Finish/aftertaste is very fine but could be somewhat longer. Therefore (only) 8/10 rating. Nevertheless this rum is actually my standard rum. Aged in (french) limousin barrels which differntiates this rum from competitors that have aged in less expensive american oak barrels. According to the producer web site this blended rum from the island of Reunion is matured for 6 years.

I just love the simplicity of the bottle and the wonderful colour of this rum. One of my favourites and the rum that made me a rum fanatic. It has a wonderful nose, tickels your tongue and has a lovely sweet aftertaste. Great value for money for an XO. I can't keep myself from comparing any new rum I taste to this one.

Beau nez, attaque caramel mais tout en douceur et final round. Un classique
