Fresh Grassy sweet, young woody,sharp but warm Sipper, high alcohol, don't mix
On The Rocks: One the nose it has strong pineapple aroma with subtle grass and spice. There is not mistaking this is an Agricole rum. Taste reveals a continued strong sweet pineapple with moderate wood notes with a subtle grass and spice undertones with a general overall sweetness. The finish is long and has some complexity that is very special for a 4 year rum. Overall this is a fantastic and unique rum that you will either love or hate. Mixed Pepsi Zero: One the nose subtle grass notes with mild pineapple. Taste is a little confusing and a little bitter… i dont know if I could say I even enjoy it mixed. This is definately not to be mixed… it is very enjoyable on the rocks.
1st 8.6 2nd still 8.6 great
#4622 23.02.2024 Relaxing at home warming up for the tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense tomorrow. Nose Faint roasted wood, fruits, polish, light ester, vegetal. Palate Medium dry, light roasted wood, fruity, warm, polish, grass, light rubber. Finish Medium long to long, light wood, spicy, citrus, grass, light flowery. The empty glass has some light chocolate, cherry and sugarcane notes. Price to quality is pretty good in my mind.
