Trois Rivières Rhum vieux de l'océan
Sipped neat is where this one makes sense — reduced with Caribbean seawater, so a salty, mineral streak runs through the classic Trois Rivières agricole. Expect sugarcane, pear and green apple, dry woody spice, and that faint iodine that a few tasters compare to island whisky. The 54% gives it real backbone without heat. Not an everyday pour, but a genuinely different one — several people rate it a bargain.

- Dry woody spice

Interesting rum, but despite the vaunted savoriness it did not blow me away.

Une belle trame TR qui est sublimé par cette réduction à l'eau de mer. Assez sympathique.
Review by Oliver
Agricole with super price-performance ratio. Beautiful salt note due to the addition of seawater.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
How good the Agricoles does a little more ABV, this rum shows convincingly. This is not the big complexity show and what you see is what you get. The aromas of the nose are found almost exactly the same in the mouth. The rum convinces with its balance and the depth that the increased drinking strength brings. Freshness and maturity are brought into a beautiful harmony. Fruit (apples, pears and limes), savory vegetal notes (green peppers, olive and hay) and woody spice (cinnamon, cumin) are super balanced. The alcohol is well integrated and the finish soft and surprisingly long. At the PLV simply an all-around successful product.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose, typical agricole with sugar cane, mineral, for a second like a fruit schnapps, some rubber, young and spicy wood notes, nutty, salty and smoky, fruity with green apple, pear, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, yellow fruits are out, the cane is grassy with hay, some confectionery arises, spicy cinammon and vanilla, perhaps iodine. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is more attractive with sweet sugar cane juice, flowery and grassy, mineral, of course, salty, as the wood is spicy, oaky, roasted with nuts, leather, as barrel impact us felt.On oxidation, new fruits arise with citrus and hints of banana, the cane becomes herbal, vegetal with mushrooms, vanilla rounds the notes nicely. 7,9:The finish is medium length, dry, less fruity(pear), the cane is mineral, grassy, flowery, fresh with tea, herbaceous, as the wood is toasted, with similar notes as from the palate. Edit:8.2.26
Review by Stefan Persson
Got this fresh, smooth and complex AOC rum as a Christmas gift from my son. It’s produced in their Creole column, but the unique part that they have added filtered seawater. The nose is sweet, mineral, woody and fruity with scents of sugarcane, iodine and pears. At the palate it’s sweet, mineral and spicy with flavors of salt. The finish is rather long and dry with consistent flavors.
Review by Jean Louisss
One of the few bottles that manages to integrate iodine in a rum. But it is an iodine which is not abrupt and which is very well integrated, especially in the nose. It is a mastered rum which can be drunk without being an exceptional rum. So an interesting bottle to taste but not essential to have in its cellar.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
incredibly beautiful Agricole and extremely good value for money! The nose is dominated by dark berries, vanilla and toasted croissant with dark chocolate and baked pears. on the palate, the salt note is added, which rounds off the whole thing really nicely and makes it more complex. not too much wood, not too little, very spicy, roasty and intense. the finish is more like fruit bread with raisins, cinnamon, star anise, allspice and pears and apples. very nice! if it were a little older now and the alcohol a little better integrated, it would be perfect. 🤤
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Extremely difficult for amateurs to work with in cocktails, it offers a surprising alternative to Ti Punch. Enhance a Mai Tai with a Jamaican white low in esters.

Review by Fred Tillac
👃 Le nez nous offre du boisé, du caramel, du pop-corn, des fruits mûrs et légèrement floral. 👄 Au goût il y a en plus du poivre, du café, un peu de vanille et du sel très discret. C'est sec, minéral avec une finale longue.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Trois Rivières élégant, doux et original. Le nez rappelle les notes marines et l’iode, si singulières du terroir de la distillerie. Le vesou, les notes terreuses et florales et les baies apportent ce côté « nature » au rhum, tandis que les épices chaudes (piment, cannelle) donnent plus de tonus. Un profil équilibré et vivifiant. L’attaque en bouche agréable, les 54% font plaisir aux papilles. Les notes salines et agricoles se mélangent avec harmonie, tandis que les épices, le chêne, le cuir et les notes rôties contrebalancent la verdure avec une forme de chaleur solaire. Les agrumes et les fruits secs sont plus en retrait. Une belle rencontre entre Terre et Mer. La finale est de bonne longueur, sèche et équilibrée. On retrouve des notes terreuses sur le foin, des notes florales, des arômes de iode et de sel, mais aussi des épices, du chêne, du vesou et des fruits secs et un soupçon d’agrumes. Un très bon rhum vieux, polyvalent et accessible à un bon prix.
Review by Morgan Garet
Le nez est très gourmand sur la banane, le citron, le sucre brun et la pâte d'amande. En plongeant le nez dans le verre,le bois ciré fait sont apparition. La bouche est aussi gourmande que le nez, sur les mêmes notes avec un côté épicé en plus. C'est doux et fruité. Finale sur les fruits tropicaux, banane en tête et les épices. C'est très bon, très fruite. Je ne sent pas le côté " cuvée de l'océan ".
Review by Renato
The association of the wood and the iodine with a bottom of vegetable ground, the whole with a certain moderation. We sail in a salty register, against the current of the rons loaded with molasses.this agricultural rum reduced to the Caribbean sea water approaches the island whiskies. To taste for the mixture of the kinds.
Review by Montana
Der Geruch ist kräftig, nach Holz und Zuckerrohrsaft, fruchtig und würzig mit leichtem Jodanklang. Der Geschmack ist kräftig, leicht scharf, würzig mit Holz, ein klein wenig Jod und Salz ist auch zu schmecken. Ein sehr guter Rhum.
Review by Agricoler
Mir insgesamt zu wenig fruchtig. Wird aber mit zunehmender Verweildauer im Glas besser.Aber ganz typische grasig-erdige Agricole Noten. Braucht allerdings im Glas ordentlich Zeit bis sich ein tolle Süße breit macht.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is woody, earthy, tobacco, floral, apple and fruit. In the mouth it is explosive with forest, wood, cork, hazelnuts, flowers and then red and sweet fruits, a balance of dry and sweet hints with some spice on the side on the finish, some peppery and savory notes, another 3R delight with its typical taste that I personally love. In the empty glass young wood. Fluctuates between 9.1 and 9.2 The taste changes depending on the stage of the day: In the morning: tannic, almost bitter, but deeper,warmer and enveloping. In the afternoon: explosive (review). At night: more nutty, less verticality, rounder.
Review by Thunderbird
Die Nase ist nicht sehr ausgeprägt, leicht würzig mit einem modrigen Touch! Rote Beeren und säuerliche Birne kommen zum Schluss auch heraus! Am Gaumen überwiegt das Holzige, Gewürz, leicht salzig! Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden, der Abgang setzt sich in gleicher Weise fort ist aber nicht sehr lang! Ein leckerer Rum mit gutem PLV!
Review by Frank
Nase: intensiv würzig mit Pfeffer und etwas Vanille. Hat tatsächlich etwas leicht salziges, metallisches. Jod! Leicht holzig und herb, erinnert an Retsina mit Calvados. Auch fruchtiges Richtung grüner Apfel und deutlich Stachelbeere. Interessant für einen Agricole. Gaumen: klar Agricole, aber auch hier etwas interessant salzig, bitter. Würzig mit rotem Pfeffer, und Lakritz, Salzlakritz. Dazu etwas harzig. Im Abgang kommt dann mehr das grüne, grasige von Zuckerohr Richtung Tee, dazu etwas erdig. Ein interessanter und guter Agricole mit einem ausgezeichneten PLV.
Review by Mc Pirate
Couleur discrète et nez gourmand sur le sucre, le jus de canne. Bouche douce et ronde, très appréciable après une dégustation de plusieurs rhums vieux assez végétaux… Finale courte sur une légère touche d’amertume.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Ein guter, wenn auch durchaus ungewöhnlicher Agricole. Viele röstige Aromen, zu denen sich einige gute Agricole-Noten gesellen. Vergleichsweise rund und wenige erdige/modrige Noten, die mich oft bei anderen Abfüllungen stören, weshalb mir Agricole oft nicht schmeckt. Kein Highend-Rum, aber sehr lecker mit passendem Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
Review by Charlier Gauthier
Surprenant, salin
Review by Emmanuel Brulin
Le Trois Rivières Vieux de l’Océan est un rhum agricole martiniquais atypique, réduit avec de l’eau de mer des Caraïbes. Il se distingue par une bouche puissante, iodée et saline, équilibrée par des notes boisées, épicées et fruitées Longue, rafraîchissante, avec une minéralité marine. • Persistance iodée qui rappelle l’océan.
Review by Wagnerlicious
Toller Rum. Ob es das verarbeitete Meerwasser ist, was dem Ganzen eine feine salzige Note verpasst, überlasse ich den Romatikern. Feine Holznote, die die klassisch kräutrigen Zitrus-Agricole-Noten aber noch durchkommen lässt. Pur besser, als im Longdrink. Nicht mein Favorit, aber durch die Salznoten definitiv mal was anderes.
Review by Alan Bertoli
È un agricole a cui è stata aggiunta acqua di mare per diluirlo. Direi esperimento ben riuscito. Al naso è pepato e un pochino pungente, si sentono i sentori di vaniglia e vegetali. Al palato è più pepato e vegetale e un pochino salato con una nota di vaniglia. Finale piuttosto lungo.
Review by Cedric Kozlowski
Rhum adoucit à l eau de mer, lui ramène une douceur étonnante
Review by Motte
Leckerer, frischer Agricole. Im Anklang dominiert Birne, dazu gesellen sich spannende mineralischen Noten. Etwas Holz und Heu. Mittellanger Abgang, wobei das Jod noch lange zu schmecken bleibt. Nichts für jeden Tag, aber gelegentlich, zb an einem heißen Sommerabend macht dieser Rum durchaus Freude.
Review by Zépon
(Degustation bouteille a moitié pleine) C est un rhum avec lequel je conseillerai de faire preuve de grande patience avant de le juger. A l ouverture de bouteille il y a plusieurs semaines difficile de l avoir en haute estime. Et pourtant avec le temps et les semaines j ai vu un breuvage qui ne cesse de se bonifier. Entre fruit rouge, vanille, citron, une fugace et tres legere brise de bois vieilli se fait sentir. Mais sans compter une touche singulière iodee rare pour une rhum vieux qui rappelle ce qui se fait de mieux chez certains rhum blanc ressent. Un délice 39€ et c est vraiment cadeau.
