Labourdonnais Original is an agricultural rum produced by the Mauritian distillery Labourdonnais.
This pure cane juice white rum offers powerful floral aromas and a touch of honey.
Nico's tasting notes
In brief: fresh - fruit - flowers - vegetable - strong spices
The nose opens with a fresh, light rum with lemony accents. The cane is flowery and slightly acidic; it seems sweet and a little spicy. Later, this blend of citrus and floral aromas is confirmed, reinforcing the sensation of lightness and freshness. The little pepper typical of rhum agricole takes a backseat to these floral notes.
Aeration takes us into slightly different, steeper terrain. The rum gains in depth and spice, becoming more penetrating. Its fresh, lemony, floral character can still be appreciated when left to rest.
The palate is lively and gripping, with the pepper attacking and then unfolding its flavors throughout the entire tasting experience. The backbone of this rum, it uses bagasse to embrace the taste buds, before rounding out on contact with sugar syrup. It then spreads out into tangy, floral notes, fading with the fire of alcohol.
The finish is soft, with floral, slightly acidic aromas and a hint of sweet fruitiness.
"Here's a light, floral version of rhum agricole, with a citrus freshness..."

This rum offers a lovely sweetness on the palate. Taste of yellow apple, subtle citrus well balanced with a hint of honey. It also seems to me that there's a little taste between anise and licorice, which adds a little aromatic power. Rather pleasant to drink neat or as a ti punch.

Very nice discovery

Original is your name and your definition.
This white Labourdonnais is highly original in its aromas. It has a powerful nose of sugar cane, citrus, lychee and apple. Labourdonnais tries to seduce us with this highly aromatic, gourmet white.
On the palate, the apple and citrus notes of the nose return. The sugarcane is more discreet, and a hint of honey appears. The whole is reminiscent of a young calvados. As with the nose, the 50° alcohol content is felt, but the degree of alcohol does not overpower the whole.
A long finish of apple, cane and sweetness.
A white rum of great interest, both for its delicacy and its strength.
Drink neat or in a fruit cocktail.
