Mater Rum Sugarcane Rum (Batch 2)

A real little bomb of flowers, olives and aniseed that really makes an impact! A unique rum. Notes from the blog : Opening the bottle: the scent of sugar cane and olive invades the living room within seconds. It smells good, it's very aromatic, in the kind of way that saturates the nose a little quickly, so we take it easy. A few metallic notes perhaps, and hints of... daffodils? I'm not sure about that. Warning: the bottle is very sexy, but the first glass is not easy to serve cleanly, so be careful! On the nose: it's clearly a pure juice, well typed, racy, the olive and brine are present, as are the big lemon/orange notes, and a saline side (which will become more pronounced on the palate). This blend is not to be sneezed at, so I wonder what the violet cane does on its own! I really like it, it seems to be halfway between Clairin and Agricole. In the mouth: the orange (a little salty, like in a duck à l'orange) is still there, perhaps the blackcurrant too. There's also a pronounced vegetal side, tending a little towards licorice perhaps, or aniseed - I'm still struggling to tell the difference between the two. The texture is oily, but not too greasy, pleasant. The 52.5% is there, without forcing it (it's a little more present on the nose, perhaps). Finish: long, alternating between vegetal and citrus notes.

Pur Verkostung: Das lila Zuckerrohr verdrängt das gelbe hier insgesamt. Birne, salzlake, Fenchel und Anis... Primär pflanzlich und die Fruchtigkeit geht etwas unter. Auch hier eine leicht störende Benzin Note. Alkohol aber gut integriert. Ti Punch: ebenfalls lecker aber etwas unausgewogener meiner Meinung nach wie die Einzel Zuckerrohr Sorten. Kann Tagesform sein aber heute schmeckt mir der Lilane Canne Violette am besten und der blend am wenigsten!😅

Un nez fougueux et expressif, de toute beauté! Mais la bouche est plus lisse, en manque de gras et d’accroche, pas du tout au niveau d’un nez vraiment magnifique.
