Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Clean Agricole that is fresh and fruity with a lot of nice spices and only a hint of barrel. I recommend letting it rest for at least 15 minutes before giving it a go.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Exquisiter Agricole. Viel Geschmack. Parfum, frisch und schräge Assoziationen von Kellerabteil und Blauschimmelkäse (Nase) 🤔. Zugänglich und dennoch Charakter. Nur der Abgang ist leicht zu kurz. Mir gefällt er.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, floral and woody. And really mild. Nothing special. But now the highlight: Accidentally poured some of the rhum over my hand and then clearly smelled apricot jam on my skin. Simply delicious - and worth 3 plus points for me.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: still good, but I deducted 2 points because it seems much paler than the cask strength version. A strong, spicy agricole rum. I like it, although this style is not my favorite. Insanely long finish that lingers on the palate for ages!
Review by Thunderbird
Ein guter komplexer Agricole mit intensiven fruchtigen Aromen! Ohne Verdünnung wäre eine höhere Bewertung gerechtfertigt gewesen
Review by GigiMartini
Mi ha colpito per la facilità di bevuta, il corpo è piuttosto leggero. Naso e palato con una nota zuccherina molto evidente. Speziatura assente o praticamente inavvertibile. Finale molto breve.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow! blind würde ich fast auf Savanna tippen, damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet. Pfirsich, Erdbeere und Basilikum, frisch fruchtig, dazu etwas weiße Schokolade mit Rosenblüten, etwas würziger Piment und Zimt dazu, was in der Kombi mit dem Rest eine unglaublich komplex, frisch, fruchtige Nummer ergibt und das ganze trotz Trinkstärke sehr geschmeidig und dennoch komplex und vollmundig. geil, damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet! 🤤
Review by Johannes
Sehr guter Bally, schöne Komplexität, einziges Manko ist die Verdünnung.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Rhum agricole équilibré au nez et en bouche. Les notes empyreumatiques se dégagent tout au long de la dégustation. La longueur est moyenne.
Review by Jonas Köhler
Gut aber nicht so richtig überzeugend. Die geschmacksnoten treten nicht genug durch
Review by David
A laisser s’aérer. Ananas et mangue confits. Un délice.
Review by Oliver
Schöner Agricole. Leider etwas kurzer Abgang.
