Farming at its best!
Review by Rodolphe
Thanks to the HSE stand for letting me taste this new release. The previous one had really won me over, which is what I love about Agricole, a model of gourmandise and balance at an affordable price (and what's more, it's not rare, but unfortunately the bottles aren't black and collectors' items and there are no animals on the labels😆). It's hard to compare this one with the 2021 because I tasted it quickly at a trade show, but it seemed just as good to me. So for me, very high marks like its little brother.
Review by TheRhumhoe
The second release from the 2006 Single Cask, this HSE lives up to expectations. The nose is extremely aromatic, deep and elegant, with tropical fruit (pineapple), dried fruit (dried apricots), tobacco, roasted almonds, toasted bread, spices (cinnamon, vanilla, pepper), mellow oak, dark chocolate, caramel and candied cane. An olfactory blend that works to perfection. On the palate, the attack is lively and intense, but just as tasty. The profile is very spicy and delicate, with dark, woody and tannic notes, followed by a powerful empyreumatic perfume of toasted and roasted notes (notably almond). Exotic fruits and raisins, sugar cane and chocolate are also present. A multi-faceted profile, perfectly mastered and wildly round. The finish, slightly longer than the first batch, eclipses the fruit in favor of warm, sweet spices, wood, chocolate, coffee and almonds, with a hint of candied cane caramel. A noble rum from the world of agriculture.
Review by Gregor
Nase: getrocknete Pflaumen, Aprikosen, Datteln, Mandeln, Paranuss, Schokotrüffel Gaumen: Datteln, süsse Kirsche, Zimt, Vanille, etwas Walnuss, etwas Holz, Alkohol gut eingebunden, sehr schön zum trinken
Review by F.L.O.
Ein sehr schöner H.S.E, bisher wohl mein bester im Schrank.. Dunkle Schokolade trifft auf Röstnoten. Der Alkohol ist auch super eingebunden. Kein daily sipper für jeden Tag, eher ein Gelegenheitssipper für passende Tage.
Review by RumRhush
Meb octobre 2022: very fine, as is often the case with the Simon distillery, but almost too fine in the end ... The nose is sublime, the palate pretty, but I lacked the length to play in the big league! It's still very well made
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4059 A pretty nice single cask from HSE. The wood plays first violin followed by fruits and spices. Pretty fresh profile in my mind but would have loved a higher ABV. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some nuts that weren't there on the initial nose and perfume/flowery notes.
Review by Vincent D
Goûté au RhumFest donc pas les meilleures conditions. Pourtant, bien que comparé au Bally bdf 2004, je l'ai trouvé top. A regouter dès que possible ! Décidément, je ne suis pas très agricole mais souvent HSE me fait me dire que je devrais plus explorer ce terrain :) Édit : nouveau test au calme et la première impression se confirme. Superbe bouteille

I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context.
