CDI Leviathan 48yr 46%

RX11070 Very good Column Still Rum 525 bottles Above 250€

“Old, complex blend with rich nose; palate falls short, pricey.”

Introducing Leviathan, a unique rum meticulously crafted by the Compagnie des Indes at the Multi Distilleries distillery, produced in multiple countries from a blend of molasses and sugar cane juice. Aged for an impressive 48 years and bottled at 46% ABV, this limited release of only 525 bottles truly stands out. With a delightful nose of leather, dried fruit, raisin, herbal, and caramel notes, it offers a flavorful palate of barrel, licorice, leather, chocolate, and raisin. RumX users highly appreciated its rich and complex aromas, describing it as intense and perfectly balanced, but with some mentioning that a higher ABV could have added more depth. A must-try for rum aficionados seeking a uniquely aged and distinctive blend.

How does this rum taste?

The 'Leviathan' lures with a rich nose of fruits, spices, and aged wood, yet on the palate, it wrestles with a delicate body and brief finish. A prized but pricey blend, sophisticated yet could benefit from more strength.

“On retasting I can see that I would have loved a higher ABV as with the Kaiman. I just got this sample today and it just came at me from the glass while resting it. What a wonderful blend. Perfectly balanced, complex and intense. The long aging is heavy on the flavours and rhe barrel almost gets to a note where it is harsh. Coffee, licorice, fruit, leather, herbs, menthol and the barrel dance in near perfect harmony on cloud 17. I will order a bottle though expensive. A great rum that beats the Kaiman blend, which I like a lot as well. Price to quality is hard to put on this one. In my mind the price matches the quality.”

“Incredibly exciting nose of fresh fig, black tea, leather, burnt caramel , tree resin, orange peel and rose water, as well as burnt wood and baking spices.Taste then first quite woody and spicy, herbaceous, plus maple syrup and rose peppers, as well as rosehip with black tea, leather belt and velvety after prune and licorice. Properly astringent on the finish, tannins like an old red wine. A really nice interplay of flavors and in my opinion not too thin if you take your time for it.Also despite the age still impressively complex and not too woody!Personally, I find the CDI Cayman but overall more exciting and complex. The Leviathan is more straightforward and quaffable. But both are definitely fun!”

“Komplex und auch wie beim Kaiman: wahnsinnig viel Veränderung über die Zeit. Weniger Komplex als der Kaiman. Wie viel Kraft und Ausdruck in den 46% stecken, geil. Ich verstehe aber dass hier einige Volumen mehr, noch was anderes mit dem Produkt gemacht hätten. Mir persönlich schmeckts so aber sehr gut. Ich hatte nicht so viel erwartet, weshalb beide für mich eine Überraschung waren.”

“Erster Eindruck: Spanisch, alt, Holz. Das finde ich insofern schade, dass das typisch spanische Profil bei jung wie alt auftritt und sich gefühlt wenig verändert, nur die Aromen außen herum anders werden. Ansonsten merkt man dem Rum sein Alter bzw. Den alten Anteil durch an. Viel Holz, das aber gegen eine Menge Früchte ankämpft. Dazu eine Schärfe, die in meinen Augen bei so einem Rum in keinster Weise vorhanden sein darf. Hier merkt man wohl, dass es ein Blend ist, der auch junge, vielleicht sogar günstige Anteile in sich hat. Dazu noch etwas zu dünn, sodass er für mich bei dem Preis eher eine Enttäuschung ist.”

“In view of the rather restrained expectations, which arose due to the rather disappointing overall appearance of the predecessor Cayman, the Leviathan could definitely surprise positively. The nose brings a wonderful overall picture of heavy fruit notes, wood, coffee and spices; these impressions alone would speak for a significantly higher rating. Unfortunately, however, the rum flattens out considerably on the palate. Although the aroma play from the nose remains in its basic features, taste-wise it seems rather thin and tamed. Too bad.”

“Eine wirklich tolle, intensive Nase. Der alte Guadeloupe gibt den Ton an. Fruchtig-würzig und zugleich holzig-röstig. Vorne weiches Toffee und dahinter gleich säuerliche Süße von Maracuja und getrockneter schwarzer Johannisbeere. Dazu getrocknete Blutorange. Aromatisierter Pfeifentabak und etwas Milchschokolade harmonieren ganz gut mit dem Holz, was durchkommt. Süße von braunem Zucker und Honig. Gefällt mir sehr gut, was ich da rieche. Ja, die 46% haben es erahnen lassen… zwar ist er durchaus elegant am Gaumen, doch leider auch sehr dünn. Total schade! Hier fast keine Frucht mehr, trocken, holzig, würzig. Wird hinten raus zunehmend grasiger. Leicht salzig mit etwas Anis und Fenchelsamen. Das war’s aber auch schon. Im Abgang Holz und Gras und das recht kurz. Nase top, Gaumen Flop!”

“Ein gut gemachter und stimmiger Blend! Nase sehr interessant, am Gaumen etwas dünn und es fehlt mir an Komplexität. Aber besser als der Kaiman!”
