The Longueteau 2016 Genesis Collection 72.3% 700ml is a unique and exceptional rum that offers a complex and well-rounded flavor profile. Distilled in 2016 at the renowned Longueteau Distillery in Guadeloupe, this rum is characterized by its high alcohol content of 72.3%, which is not reduced during the casking or bottling process. This results in a fiery and intense rum that is surprisingly smooth, with a roundness that is reminiscent of cane syrup. With only 5000 bottles available, it is both a rare and desirable addition to any rum collection.
The rum boasts a sweet and fruity flavor profile, with prominent notes of vanilla cane and sweet cane juice. As the rum aerates, it becomes increasingly mellow, revealing subtle peppery and bagasse notes that emerge without overpowering the sweet and fruity character of the rum. Compared to the white Genesis, this rum has gained in richness and sweetness, while sacrificing some of its freshness. Despite its high alcohol content, the rum is well-balanced and smooth, with a long and warming finish that leaves a lasting impression.

The Longueteau 2016 Genesis Collection has gained richness and sweetness compared to the white Genesis, although it has lost some of its freshness. It also boasts a well-balanced and smooth finish despite its high alcohol content.
Reviewers have praised the Longueteau 2016 Genesis Collection for its sweet and fruity nose once rested, and its impressive balance between elements, despite its high ABV. The rum bites a little, but far less than expected, showing a well-integrated alcohol presence. Some noted a light nutty flavor in the empty glass. On the nose, it has young wood, solvent, apricot, pear, fig, and baked apple, though it might come off as somewhat alcoholic. The taste is quite woody, dry, and spicy with notes of prune, fruit bread, red pepper, and pear compote. The finish is dominated by tannins and slightly bitter barrel notes, rounded off with sweet vanilla pear compote and cinnamon. Overall, it is an exciting full-proof Agricole rum, marked by a greedy and gourmand side, but some found it a bit too woody or alcoholic for their taste. Despite these minor criticisms, the Longueteau 2016 Genesis Collection is widely regarded as a successful and complex rum, with its freshness and richness being particularly noted.
