La Mauny XO Hors D’Age 10-Year

Very good Rum. When Clement's single cask, I preferred this one slightly

It’s quite sharp in nose initially after warmed up. After that the fruitiness and vanilla takes over in nose palate and afterburn. The latter is then quite long and the vanilla is even more significant.
As a summary I would say it’s an quite elegant and pleasant Agricole which should be a concurrent to J.M. XO as a perfect start in the Agricole world.

I enjoyed this very much indeed. Soft, not overly challenging but stylish, elegant, cognac-like.

Visited the La Mauny distillery while in Martinique. Easily the best distillery tour which ended with a full open bar. La Mauny XO was priced at EUR 63 at the distillery. Pretty nice packaging, bottle and label design. Bright golden color. Traditional super dry Rhum Agricole flavors and plenty of citrus over powered by very strong oak. A lot of burn at the end. Rhum Agricole lovers can easily add 2 points to my score.

This is a mild and balanced rhum agricole which is especially noticable as it has its origin in Martinique. The typical grassy notes are clearly present but not too dominant nor too heavy. Notes of wood, oak, vanilla and tropical fruits add to the aroma profile. Nice finish that continues the aroma profile of the palate. Clearly a very pleasant rhum that might be especially interesting for newcomers to the world of rhums agricole.

another jewel from Martinique, agricole, blend of 12 rhums aged minimum 6 years (and up to 10 years), rich flavours, in the nose at first something weird, in the mouth you know it s oak from the barrel (maybe too much barrel flavor),
i m always impressed how good are those aged agricole rhums while white ones are so harsh ...

Mi è piaciuto molto, speziato e dolce allo stesso tempo.
Finale bello persistente.

C est un rhum de qualité, un bon rapport qualité prix. Après c est un rhum facile à boire. Pour les puristes il manque un peu de peps, mais c est bien fait. Pour le même prix je préfère un Séverin plus original. Note 8.1

agricole, vůně velmi příjemná, nasládlá ovoce, koření, chuť ostřejší, hodne chutný

Prima te doen voor de prijs gekocht in de supermarkt van cote d'azur
