Romdeluxe Wild Series Rum Martinique No. 16 MSRA 2008

One taster called it "way too green" with not much else, and that split runs through the reviews. It's a 13-year Martinique agricole from Distillerie du Simon at 60.7% — grassy, floral, with pear, orange peel and a light nutty wood. Most people found the cask-strength heat overwhelming until a drop of water opened up the fruit. Not the easiest agricole around.

The community says
  • Fresh grassy cane
  • Green fruit, pear

8.6/10

8,7:On the nose, very juicy sugarcane, grassy and flowery, with green fruits like an apple, pear and citrus fruits, wood with nutty tones, spicy with cinnamon, vanilla, anise and pepper, is the first impression we get. On aeration, pineapple and yellow fruits are out, the cane is mineral, herbaceous and earthy, some tea might be there and pastry. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is tasty with sugarcane honey, fresh and grassy, flowery, herbaceous and mineral, the wood is slightly roasted, nutty, buttery with faint butterscotch, pastry, creamy, a bit resinous, so slightly bitter and spicy with vanilla, pepper and anise, as the fruits sporadically arise with yellow, dried and citrus fruits, some pear and when oxidation does its job, faint banana. 8,6:The finish is long with grassy and herbaceous cane, tannic, spicy wood and confectionery tones and fruits like raisins, citrus and faint melon...

8.3/10

To release all the flavours I had to add a drop of water. Once the water was added the flavour profile changed quite a bit. A lightly fruity Agricole with grass and spices and unique in a way. Nice and warn with a very, very light touch of wood.

Distillerie du Simon 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 340 Rums

Le Simon is Martinique's ghostwriter. It is the island's most technologically advanced distillery, yet it sells no rum under its own name, runs no public tours, and ages nothing on site. Instead it distils two of the most beloved names in Martinique agricole, HSE and, until recently, Clement, on stills moved here from their original homes. What you taste as HSE is, in fact, Le Simon.
