The Isautier Louis & Charles Reunion 45% 700ml is a premium rum crafted in honor of the founders of the oldest continuously operating distillery on Reunion Island, Louis and Charles Isautier. This limited edition rum is an exquisite blend of 20-year-old Rhum Agricole and 14-year-old Rhum Traditionnel. Initially aged for 6 to 14 months in new French oak barrels, the rum undergoes further maturation in older barrels within the Isautier cellar vaults, culminating in a truly unique aging process that spans up to 22 years.
The resulting blend is both complex and powerful, yet smooth and harmonious, characterized by subtle oak notes and intense, fresh fruitiness. The nose reveals a medley of nutmeg, chocolate, and coffee, followed by a robust and woody flavor profile enriched with hints of pepper and spices. The finish is long-lasting and slightly saline, a nod to the rich heritage of Isautier Rum.
This exceptional rum is a testament to the unparalleled expertise of the Isautier distillery, one of the few in the world that excels in producing both agricultural and industrial rum. Every step of the aging process is meticulously monitored, ensuring the final product is a refined and complex rum with great aromatic power, embodying the savoir-faire of the Isautier brand.
Compared to other Isautier rums like Alfred and Antoinette, Louis & Charles is noted for its lighter profile. As the youngest of the three, it offers a well-integrated flavor but may seem less complex in comparison.
At 94 EUR, some may find it a bit pricey, especially when compared to other rums. However, the unique blend of rhum traditionnel and agricole is generally successful and well-integrated, offering a distinct tasting experience.
The Isautier Louis & Charles features a balanced profile with notes of fresh citrus fruits, heavy sweetness from stone fruits and nougat, hay, chocolate, oak wood, and subtle hints of pepper, allspice, and anise. It offers a diverse array of tasting notes that are sure to please.
While some reviewers note that the Isautier Louis & Charles rum feels lighter and younger compared to the Alfred and Antoinette variants, its well-integrated flavors and successful blend of rhum traditionnel and agricole make it a delightful choice for a tasting experience. Despite its higher price point, many appreciate its balanced profile featuring fresh citrus, heavy sweetness from stone fruits and nougat, hay, chocolate, oak, and subtle spices. Some even liken it to a fine cognac, underscoring its refined and harmonious nature.
