Labourdonnais Citrus 37.5°: Description and customer reviews

Labourdonnais Citrus is an agricultural rum produced by the Labourdonnais distillery in Mauritius. Lemons grown on the estate are macerated in this pure cane juice rum.

Nico's tasting notes

In brief: fruit - round - sweet spices

On the nose, there's no doubt that citrus fruits are in the limelight. The lemon syrup is powerful, very sweet, with the bitterness of its zest as a backdrop. A confectionery atmosphere reigns here, all the more so as the powdery side of a lavender or strawberry marshmallow softens the onslaught of lemon.
Aeration continues to soften the powerfully sweet profile with a touch of vanilla and bitter orange.

On the palate, the sweetness dissipates fairly quickly, giving way to lemon and orange. Likewise, the bitterness retreats somewhat in favor of a refreshing acidity. Mild spices like vanilla then color the still-fresh grapefruit skin.

The finish continues on grapefruit before evoking a family of candied, slightly spicy citrus fruits.

"This rum, which is more of a liqueur, is best enjoyed as a digestif with an ice cube..."

    A good brand. Equivalent = bougainville- chamarel

    Color: Old gold

    On the nose, this rum exudes aromatic purity and incredible charm. There's candied lemon bergamot and orange. There's an immediate sweetness reminiscent of limoncello or liqueur, but with more power.

    On the palate, there's a sensation of lemon pulp in the mouth. The attack is sweet, fat and very well executed. It's syrupy without being sickening. This is the antithesis of Ced's arranged rums (the benchmark brand in terms of arrangés). It's obvious that sugar has been added and that we're playing with this fact. However, this addition allows us to create an arrangé in which the macerated fruit comes to the fore.

    The disadvantage of this method is that you can't smell the rum used.

    A bold, long finish of lemon and orange.

    This rum is a real pleasure to drink. Very simple and pure.

    It will scare off those who want to taste the rum first and foremost in an arrangé. On the other hand, it will be a delight for those looking for very fruity arranged rums, where the rum acts as a flavor enhancer.

    Labourdonnais is a domain to watch. They produce some real nuggets.
