Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum will explode with flavours in your mouth. A heavy taste that will slowly fade into a heavenly feeling of bliss. This rum is blended from the bast casks of 1952, 1970 and 1976 and this may be the best rum in the world. Well worth the price tag it comes with.
Review by Mathieu C.
Incisive nose at first sight with a burning side, woody, spicy (pepper, pepper) then citrus (lime), light fruity (dried fruits), dark chocolate at the end, brandy... "fine and powerful" nose
Review by WolfeTone
Lovely blend of aged agricoles with dried banana peel, soft fruits, buttercream, nuts, herbs and spices.
Review by AngelsShare
Great tasting Agricole with a fine balance between the floral juicy notes and woody spiciness. Pretty dry and medium finish. My nose is hit with grass, pepper, brown sugar and citrus. It's currently my go-to Agricole but at the price it will not earn a fixed spot at my shelves.
Review by Mr. B
Some seriously good Agricole stuff. Nice complex aroma with little noticeable alcohol fumes. Very balanced. Goos long finish with some oaky dryness and a hint of sweetness. Love this stuff.
