The Rivière du Mat 2006 rum, hailing from the Reunion Island, is a unique column still-distilled spirit made from sugar cane juice. With an ABV of 43%, this millésime offers a fascinating profile that is both easy to drink and enjoyable. The aroma is a delightful combination of vegetal, fruity, sweet, minty, and parfum notes. On the palate, it unveils flavors of vegetal, fruity, spice, fresh, and tea notes.
Upon aeration, the rum reveals its distinct character, starting with a smooth yet gripping texture that evolves into a green wood freshness. This freshness persistently engages the taste buds, followed by deep notes of olive and engine fat. As it rests, a more pastry-like sweetness emerges.
The initial aroma is soft and vegetal, with hints of resin, medicinal, and industrial touches reminiscent of oil and engine grease. An underlying damp cask scent, with well-soaked wood and undergrowth aromas, adds complexity.
The finish is moderately long and floral, gracefully complementing the prior characteristics. This rum has been uniquely distilled and aged for 14 years in oak casks, hand-selected by Christian Vergier, a renowned French expert in sub-wood aging.

This rum from Reunion Island starts with a lovely floral bouquet, perfume, notes of menthol freshness, a few spices, fruity hints, and caramel, giving it a fresh and gourmet profile. It is very light on the palate, with spices and tea flavors enhancing the taste. The finish is moderately long, continuing the floral and spicy theme. Overall, it is an interesting rum, easy to drink but offering more than it may initially seem. Compared to the single cask 2004 tasted afterward, it is quite enjoyable but perhaps a bit too reduced for some tastes.
