Old Guatemala rum from Opportune 1791
The nose expresses notes of red fruit, honeysuckle and caramel. The palate is much more exotic, with mango and passion fruit. On the finish, a delicate woody touch arrives, accompanied by white fruits. A rum that remains light and subtle, with great length.

XO at Pura Vida
The first nose takes us towards cranberry, strawberry jam and pink berries. Then vanilla, caramel and cedar add complexity. On the palate, the rum is round and delicious. Never ostentatious, it offers a fine balance between fruit and wood. A success.

Trinidad Hear V.S. at The 3 Monkeys
The nose is light, with aromas of quince, white flowers and orange. A touch of petrol lifts the whole. The palate is like the nose, light but not heavy, with pleasant notes of dried fruit. A digestible rum that's a pleasure to drink and share.
- Price: €35
- Gault&Millau rating: 92/100
Terroir volcanique at Rhum J.M.
A fresh nose that takes us on a journey with coconut, vanilla and banana combined with a sensation of sea breeze. On the palate, the balance is between power, richness and freshness. The journey continues with dried mango and passion fruit. The alcohol lends support and generosity, with a spicy finish that lasts for hours.
- Price: €32.90
- Gault&Millau rating: 95/100
Triple African Rum from Elephantom
The nose is very "British rum", with strong esters of flambéed pineapple, peach and tobacco. Initially shy on the palate, it gradually takes shape, with aromas of red and tropical fruits. Spices, pepper and wood accompany a roundness without sweetness. A rum that leaves the palate fresh, with a fragrant finish of spices and leather.
- Price: €49.90
- Gault&Millau rating: 90/100
10 years at Naga
The nose expresses barrel ageing, with notes of coffee, vanilla bean and Zan. It's also very floral. A sensation that is echoed on the palate, which starts with a lovely freshness, before the tannins add structure and support a persistent length with aromas of cocoa and nuts.
- Price: €46
- Gault&Millau rating: 89/100
Two Indies Dark Rum from Amrut
This Indian distillery known for its whiskies also produces a lovely, expressive rum with a nose marked by orange marmalade, spices, vanilla and flambéed banana. On the palate, it's powerful and warm, with tannins that offer good substance and give a tanned impression, like old leather. A rum for the end of a winter meal.
- Price: €39.90
- Gault&Millau rating: 87/100
100% Pot Still from Bocathéva
A lovely sweet-salty nose of mango, banana, olive and candied orange. A bouquet of sugarcane with a light woodiness. On the palate, a round, enveloping texture. It's very greedy, with an aroma that adds a great deal of complexity. Tobacco, tea flowers and sweet orange take us far away.
- Price: €45
- Gault&Millau score: 93/100
