An unusually aromatic Reunion cane-juice rhum at 45%, layering orange, vanilla and lemon peel over allspice, oak and a chocolate-dusted finish, the kind of moderate-strength agricole that drinks softer than its island reputation suggests.
Description
Isautier is one of Reunion's oldest family houses, and this Louis & Charles edition shows the gentler, more rounded side of Indian Ocean cane-juice rhum. Distilled on a column still from fresh sugar-cane juice and bottled unsweetened at 45%, it sits in the middle ground between brisk French-island agricole and softer aged molasses rum, fragrant rather than fierce.
The nose opens on orange, vanilla and a twist of lemon peel, with oak sitting quietly underneath. The palate keeps that citrus lift but turns warmer and spicier, allspice and gentle wood leading into a finish of dried fruit, cocoa and more allspice. Tasters consistently note how much aroma and layering it carries for the modest strength, which makes it an easy, relaxed sipper for anyone curious about Reunion cane juice without the heat of a cask-strength bottling.
