The Chantal Comte 1977 Rhum Vieux Agricole, boasting an ABV of 45% and presented in an elegant 700ml bottle, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Martinique's rum production. This remarkable vintage rum was distilled in 1977 at the esteemed Agricole de Saint Luce distillery, also known as Trois Rivières, and is bottled by the renowned independent bottler Chantal Comte. This exceptional rum is crafted from sugar cane juice using a Creole Column still, resulting in a luxurious and complex profile. It displays a dark copper hue and captivates the senses with its distinctive aroma of fir wood, grape, apricot compote, eucalyptus, and maple syrup. Upon opening the bottle, one is greeted with an astonishing fruitiness interwoven with spices and wood. On the palate, the Chantal Comte 1977 delivers a harmonious blend of flavors, including oak, white pepper, mango, peach, and passion fruit. These notes are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla, floral, caramel, and marzipan, creating a creamy yet complex tasting experience. The finish, though medium in length, reveals delightful tones of green pepper, barrel, apricot, and spices, rounding off the tasting journey with elegance and sophistication. Reviewers have acclaimed this rum for its accessibility and complexity. The nose is particularly noted for its magnificent display of leather, woody, and tropical fruit notes. While the palate offers an impressive array of flavors, some find the overall experience slightly linear.
