Montebello 55° 1 liter: Description and customer reviews

Montebello 55° is an agricultural rum from Guadeloupe, produced at the Carrère distillery in Petit-Bourg. It is produced from cane harvested mainly by hand, by small-scale planters working on the volcanic soils of La Soufrière.

It makes an excellent base for ti'punch and other cocktails.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose is surprisingly smoky and farmy, with a hint of barnyard dotted with dried bagasse. Soft, sweet cane juice gradually comes through, with hints of steamed artichoke and chestnut.

The aeration opens up the rum to the fruit, giving it much more fullness and warmth. The cane juice is now blended with citrus fruits, which express themselves from the skin to the pulp. At the same time, it retains a rustic edge, for a remarkably authentic balance.

On the palate, the farmhouse aspect is preceded by a coppery, slightly metallic sensation. This minerality abounds in freshness and light, so the rum lights up the palate quite brightly. The mid-palate is devoted to thick, ripe cane juice, enriched with pineapple and star fruit juices.

The finish is spicy, with rustic pepper and hay accents.

"A fine rustic personality for this serious candidate for ti'punch..."

    A fine Montebello White Rum whose profile is immediately recognizable. This warm candied sugar, this little straw side, and a very slightly pastry side.
    The integration of the alcohol is a little limited, which is a pity, as the alcohol takes over a little (in pure tasting).
    But for a classic 55° white, it's really top-notch. As a ti-punch, it does the job really well, and we'll even give it a refill without a second thought.
    A good Rhum Blanc, this Montebello. More fruity and complex than its little brother at 50°, the only slight flaw being a little too much alcohol, but at the same time a taste that forgives this little faux pas.

    Fruity, but the alcohol takes over.
