La Mauny Le Nouveau Monde

8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get, is an agricole rhum, that's dry, a bit astringent, with red fruits as grapes, raspberries... and herbal with tea notes. The next layer is woody/roasted with dried fruits, prunes, medicinal(metallic and smoky), toasted notes and milk chocolate. The rhum becomes spicy, is now fresh, flowery and round, elegant. When we air it, the touch of orange peel joins the game and caramelized candied nuts, vanilla and a pinch of cinammon. Tropical fruits are mildly present with passion fruit... Rich and complex rhum.
8,7:On the palate, round, syrupy, quite sweet and balanced rhum is waiting, first with spicy/pepper and dry attack, a bit waxy, with banana, tea, grass, cocoa, leather. . Agricole with medicinal notes are quite noticable. Prunes are juicy, the wood is toasted, roasted and caramelized with toffee, warm...and a touch of bitterness. Very complex.
8,4:The finish is long and dry, some spiciness is here, dominated with dried, tropical fruits, medicinal, nicely balanced with toasted, roasted palate, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and tobacco...

A very good agricole rum with spicy, vegetal and aoky flavors. The sugar cane is present but don't take the lead. Rounded in mouth with vanilla notes. I was disappointed with the Extra Ruby but it reinforces my tasting for other products from this brand.

One of the best agricole rum i have a drank. Very rare edition, smells strange, excellent aftertaste, large bouquet, the finish is a little bit harsh.
