Trois Rivieres Cuvee de l'Ocean

Po prvním napití jsem si myslel, že mi nalili koňak. Ale prý je to rum. Nechutnal mi. Příště už ne.

Given the name and visual presentation, I went into this expecting a maritime experience similar to certain whiskies from up North only to be proven completely wrong.

Nose: Tomato juice, vegetal, parmesan, savory notes that are strongly reminiscent of lobster bisque or bouillabaisse, hints of parsley or dried celery. Very unique.

Taste: Not as intense but pretty consistent with what you get on the nose with the addition of a light floral sweetness and some sugar cane. Kinda incohesive as a whole, disharmonic collage of flavors with no typical "funk“ to make up for it.

Finish: Not very long, briney and herbal.

Let me tell you I’m not a huge fan of this so I’ll just keep it around as a sipper for when I’m in a funny mood until the bottle goes empty. I certainly will not be getting another, though.

Due to its tomato notes, I imagine this could make for an interesting Bloody Mary or as an addition to seafood dishes.

This is about as far as you can get on the opposite end of the spectrum from say, a Doctor Bird, and as such, it's great to keep around. A Ti punch with this will knock your socks off. If you want to introduce your friends and spark their imaginations, pour a taste of this and a taste of the Doctor Bird and tell them to think about how much room there is between those two things. Or, just pour a couple of fingers and add an ice cube and chill out, thinking about life on the ocean.

Interesting experience :-) sugar cane growing 30 cm under sea. Smell and taste is little salty but Ron is not sharp. Don't buy, but try. Interesting agricole.

this is nice. it's got a hint of something on the noise i cant quite place. reminiscent of maybe local tequilas or pulqe or something in mexico? im not sure. if i sort it out, i'll edit my review. anyway i like this well enough but im just not a fan of the style. interestingly day 2 (i didnt finish a wisp) it liked it a lot more. wonder if decanting or maybe home barreling might improve it for me? i might try this again just to learn more about it and my palette.

Actually, I bought this rum because of the silly bottle. And because it is an agricole. In the nose there ist a very strange odour of seeweed and rottening octopusses. But the taste is sweet and agreable. So, in the end, I can only recommend this rum.

Blanc agricole, bottled at 42% this rhum uses sugar cane that has been growed partly in sea water, hence the name.
It should have an oceanic aromas. Lets find out.
Nose: quite mild on the nose, traditional agricole aromas, grass, citrus and fruit but also some brine and corn, hint of olives.
Taste: very mild on the palate, brine, light smokiness, minerals, corn, lemon, olives
Finish: short and smooth.
Overall: Slight disappointment, i was expecting a nice dose of briny and fruity flavours, yes it does have just enough brininess for me but the other flavors feel muted, the flavors are nice and interesting but they dont really pop at you at all.
The result is something that comes of as a mix between standard molasses based white rum and blanc agricole. Higher proof could make this rum more interesting.

Odeur très particulière une chance que ça goûte pas la même chose. Au nez, salé vinaigré. C'est pas un rhum que j'aime. Il est fait pour être mélangé.

Rhum très particulier aux parfums salins. Un délice à boire sec ou en ti punch

As said - punchy, grassy, has the sweet nose of bagasse. Really good on a hot day in a punch. True 7.
