Depaz Cuvée Prestige XO
Most tasters land in the "very complex, genuinely good agricole" camp, though a couple feel it doesn't beat the standard XO. Expect woody, spicy notes with vanilla, licorice, orange zest and a clear sugar-cane vegetal streak. The nose gets more love than the palate, where a mild astringency and the gentle 45% show up. Long, warm finish that fans call the best part.
The community says- Complex layered nose
- Long warm finish
- But: Palate less complex

How does Depaz Cuvée Prestige XO taste?
Aggregated from 39 community reviews.
Complex, woody-spicy aged agricole A "deliciously complex Depaz" for most, with a long warm finish. A few find the palate less exciting than the nose and no real step up from the regular XO.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Depaz XO avec une carafe très esthétique, ce qui n’est pas sans laisser dubitatif. Le nez pour le coup est généreux avec de belles notes fruitées (fruits exotiques, secs et agrumes) des arômes de fleur (rose) et des belles notes épicées (réglisse, vanille) et rôties (toast grillé, noix). L’attaque en bouche est un peu plus vive, avec ses notes végétales plus marquées (canne à sucre, châtaignes), des tannins qui imprègnent le boisé et quelques épices plus éparses. Les fruits sont plus distants en bouche. La finale, assez longue, s’éparpille entre les notes florales, végétales, terreuses, le retour des fruits (agrumes, notamment le zeste d’orange) les épices et les notes rôties et boisées. Un rhum qui montre qu’il peut y en avoir sous le capot, même avec 45% d’alcool. Toutefois, le « syndrome de la jolie carafe » survient au moment du prix. C’est un Depaz de qualité, mais la qualité peut s’obtenir pour un prix bien moindre que celui-ci.
Review by cigares
A beautiful nose with spices, liquorice, floral tones with rose. Peach, wood and brown sugar. The alcohol, though low, is not fully integrated, which is a pity. The palate is far less complex than the nose, with rosewood, caramel and a slightly unpleasant astringency. The finish is too short, with some floral aromas. Tasted again and still not convinced.
Review by Stefan Persson
As a summary this is a very smooth and truly an magnificent Agricole. I suppose it’s Depaz best standard Rhum, aged for at least during 9 years in small oak barrels. I think there are some similarities with the old bottle of Grande Reserve XO which was aged at least 12 years. It’s very complex and it’s hard to sort out the aromas and tastes.

#4053 A lightly dry and fruity Depaz. Nice balance in the flavours but have loved a higher ABV. The empty glass is nice and has some nutts and light licorice.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Très belle richesse et intensité aromatique avec un équilibre nez/bouche. Les arômes au nez se retrouvent en bouche et la finale est longue. Nous sommes en présence d’un rhum vieux de grande qualité, très agréable à déguster.
