The Longueteau Confrerie du Rhum 2014 is an exceptional XO agricultural rum hailing from the renowned Longueteau Distillery in Guadeloupe. Distilled in 2014 and meticulously aged for six years in old cognac barrels, this rum is crafted from blue cane sourced from plot 11 and bottled brut de fut, preserving its pure and unfiltered essence. The initial aroma opens with a delightful bouquet of apricots, peaches, pears, grapes, and blackberries, evolving into a full-bodied profile with hints of candied cane, spices, and dried fruits as it airs. On the palate, it delivers a complex experience with woody influences, mellow tannins, and a more vegetal side that transitions into a natural cane flavor. The rum is rounded with fruity notes of strawberries and bananas, leading to a fresh, candid finish that lingers with the taste of pear. This release marks the first parcel rum in collaboration with Distillerie Longueteau, making it a unique and highly coveted expression of this esteemed distillery’s craftsmanship.

Reviewers find this rum to be a balanced and complex offering, with a fruity and woody aroma that includes notes of apricots, peaches, pears, and a subtle hint of lime. The palate is well-balanced with wood, tannins, and fruits, accompanied by spice and sugarcane. Despite some opinions noting a slightly diluted taste and a touch of bitterness, the overall consensus is that it provides a long and fresh finish with hints of wood, berries, and spices. For its price, it is considered a great rum, though some feel it could be more expressive and less alcoholic.
