Arcane Extraroma 12-Year

unusual if compare to Caribbean rums, obvious it was created for French taste, one time to try is good

Fruity apricot banana nice nose... Sweet start into more bitter and tart body. Aroma is increasing expectations but I'm missing complexity... interesting taste... better second time... Body is floral with sugar cane, vanilla, banana... Abv not well hidden...

This one is not so balanced. The tropical notes are to me a bit over the top, but it helps make it feel fresh at least. I recommend it if you like tropical flavor rums.

Gout aromatisé de coconut avec fruit exotic. Boire avec glace ou pour drink

Ganz OK für 40%. Gefühlt eine sehr dicke Konsistenz. Aromatisch auch sehr voluminös nach Kokosnuss. Mir ist er etwas zu blumig und wirkt auch etwas parfümiert. Ansonsten sehr exotisch fruchtig. Macht irgendwie Spaß, aber auf eine andere Weise. Für teilweise 27€ kann man das mal machen. Aber kein Muss. Ein süßer Schmeichler ohne jegliche Würze oder sonstige "Kanten".

"The Arcane is an agricole-style rhum that goes about things a little differently. Besides opting for the more recognizable "rum" spelling, the fresh cane juice distillate is first processed close to the source on Mauritius, then brought to Cognac for another go in small alembic stills. This rum is aged a minimum of 12 years in a solera method using French oak"

Nose:
Very strong banana, coconut and tropical fruit cake, vanilla.

Taste:
Coconut comes first strongly, then follows HEAVY amount of tropical fruits,marzipan and banana and lastly a hint of vanilla. It is extremely sweet i have to say

Finish:
Smooth because the added sugar, not much oak

Verdict: Another dessert rum, it is heavily sugared but it also has very unique taste profile, all the lovely heavy tropical and marzipan aromas make me wonder how altered this rum really is.
Some suggest this is elixir (rum liquer)
I suggest cane syrup and loads of different flavouring agents are used, natural or artificial? I dont know. But straight rum this is not for sure.
But as a dessert rum, interesting, offers truly something different but too sweet and lack transparency regarding the production and ingredients.

Certains diront que cet assemblage n'a rien à voir avec un rhum mais tient plus de la chimie. Mais bon dieu, qu'est ce que c'est bon! C'est subtile et d'une longueur en bouche interminable!!! Jus de canne et bananas. Un rhum gourmand (d)étonnant !!

After some alcohol disappears it have this unbelievable aroma of Banana and Marzipan. Fruity, round, super gentle. I‘m a fan!

Nose: Brown sugar and barrel.
Mouth: sweetness, soft, fine taste. Low on sugar (But not too low)

Sucré mais plutôt comme du sirop de canne, parfumé comme un magasin Sephora mais je l'aime comme j'aime mangé quelquefois des bonbons en soirée, je sais que ce n'est pas ce qu'il y a de meilleur au monde ni de plus raffiné mais quand je trempe mes lèvres dedans il me ravie toujours ainsi que mes invités, et c'est surement le principal.
