Reimonenq 2016 Coeur de Distillation Centenaire

This ReimonenQ Blanc is a special release to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ReimonenQ house 2016. It’s a limited edition of 10.000 bottles. It was rested for 15 months in stainless steel vats before reduced to 50% and bottled.
The nose is floral and nutty and there’s aromas of sweet cane, mineral and citrus fruits without any alcoholic notes.
In mouth and on the palate it’s sweet very smooth and round, almost silky and creamy. Recognizable tastes is pepper, mango and ripe pineapple with hints of licorice.
During the medium long finish the taste is still there but is dominated by fruit and the nuttiness that’s coming back.
Overall a very smooth, pleasant and elegant Agricole.

Visited the Reimonenq distillery while vacationing in Guadeloupe. Self guided distillery tour with an open tasting bar. Reimonenq distillery has 500+ years of Finnish heritage and they proudly display the Finnish flag at the entrance. Reimonenq Rhum Coeur de Distillation was priced at EUR 40 at the distillery. Decent old school bottle and label design. Super dry Rhum Agricole flavors alongside grass, spices and plenty of floral notes to the nose and palate. Very strong burn at the end being so dry. Rhum Agricole fan boys can add 2 points to my score.
