Isla Grande Maison Centenaire 30-Year

It’s got an interesting flavor that is hard to describe. Almost like a weird candy. Not terrible, but likely won’t buy again. Just not my flavor profile.

In my journey of exploring rum I seen this in the local store. Nice bottle thats worthy of reusing. That said, I tend to wonder whether its really 30yrs old? Another question, do you really need to blend 30yr old?Blending from numerous distilleries and keeping to the 30yrs old?? I gave it 1 extra point from 7 for two reasons, the bottle itself & the price. For a 30yr old there's not much wood so if you dont like that oak flavor you might give it another point! So well balanced it sings of blending, a scotch whiskey tradition. "Hell, let's give it a try. It works for them!" Let it breath and the bite simmers down. Better on the nose than the palate. Not something you would do neat, a cube or two. But thats french RHUM. And that's obvious from the first to last sip. A good bang for the buck! Won't go chasing this one but glad I tried it.
