I’m a big fan of Montebello from the Carrere distillery and I’ve recently bought the 2022 edition of the 3, 6 and 8yo.
The 8yo is aged in ex-Bourbon American oak barrels before being reduced to 42% and bottled.
Carrere/Montebello 8yo is possible to find as several vintages 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2013 and 2014.
The 1997 is bottled in the Winch bottle while the other ones is bottled in the normal stubby bottle.
The vintage is written on the back label on the older ones.
Right now I have bottles of the 1997, 2001, 2013 and 2014 vintages.
This review is about the 2014 version.
The nose is rich, complex, pleasant, vegetal, floral, fruity and woody.
In mouth and on the palate I recognize sweet cane, spices, raisins and fruits.
During the rather long finish it’s very rich and I recognize hints of licorice, prunes and banana besides what I recognized on the palate.
Overall a great Agricole as most of the rum from this brand which is one of my favorite brands.
