New rum purchases

Back from this year’s Salon International de l’Agricutlure in Paris where I had the opportunity to taste some really cool rhums.

Among them, Marie Louise was definitely the winner, so I brought a bottle back.

They produce very few bottles, from a unique “canne bleue” field in the North of Guadeloupe and just released the first ever bio “Rhum Vieux” from Martinique.

IMHO, you’ll hear about them in the coming years. Everything I have tasted was very good and this white 2023 is really special.

Moreover, their packaging is really cool : handwritten numbers, recycled cane box, cane barcode, etc.

Ich kann Dir da voll zustimmen… letztes Jahr konnte ich diesen Raum auf Martinique probieren. Einmal in der reduzierten Version, die auch Du hast und einmal Full proof mit 71 %. Den Full Proof habe ich dann mitgenommen, da er für mich deutlich gehaltvoller war.

I was thinking to go there but I decided not to since it would take me a couple of hours to get there.
How was your experience there? Do you think the amount of brands was sufficient? How many hours could you spend there before you saw everything?
And do people speak English? :sweat_smile:

There were very few rums distilleries present : Bielle, Marie Louise, Tamure, Mana’o, Manutea, Sublim and that’s all.

Very disappointed by La Martinique and La Reunion.

I think you made the good choice.

Can only but agree. For me Marie Louise is one of the best white rhums on the market. What Anna does with this blue cane is pure magic..
Wait until you’ve tried the 2025 Release.:sweat_smile: Sick good…

@RobBauer I Hope you have had the chance to taste the unaged Anna did for Whisky Club Italia (not Marie Louise, but always distillery by Anna in Guadeloupe).

It is simply amazing!
