Review by Ivan Botka
Absolutely beautiful rhum. combination of agricole and thick technical molasses. perfection in the mouth
Review by Léo Delek
The profile resembles that of the 1980, with a very empyreumatic side (leather, smoke, even light tar), caramelized sugar and cherry. It remains one of my favorite rums.
Review by De Jan
Explosion de saveurs dans la bouche, ça part dans tous les sens. Excellent.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A powerful and intense rum, which develops toasted and smoky notes from the first moments, with notes of banana, dried fruits and tobacco in the background. The attack is strong in the mouth, with spicy, spicy and smoky notes, but also the presence of figs, cherry and raisins give a sweetness to this rum with a dark profile. The finish is long and warm on the same frame. A very good vintage combining power and sweetness of aromas with a nice balance throughout the tasting.
Review by Thunderbird
WOW 🤩, this is exactly a rum to my taste: heavy, complex, full-bodied and a beautiful depth! The finish is long and dark! This old flavor with fruit and wood harmonize perfectly together!
Review by Djehey
Edit: once rested for a really long time, the result is really good :) This is an intense yet pleasant rum. I find the roasted leather and burnt sugar aromas that I like so much in the Bellevue 1998. In addition, there's a hint of dried fruit like apricot and grape. Not for every palate!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow! very many sour cherries and dark chocolate with banana bread with a little mint on the nose. Taste then directly sour cherries with mint and dark cocoa. plus some fig, roasted nuts, barrel and vanilla. surprisingly little wood for the age.in the finish then a little more towards leather and barrel, dry with intense mocha, and sweet mango and cinnamon notes. at the very end the mint and the cherry again celebrates its comeback.... very very tasty and harmonious! unfortunately horny!
Review by Thibaud Schnell
Ce rhum traite votre palais comme un gringalet en pleins pogo dans un concert de métal, c'est bon même très bon mais ça bouscule 😁 ( dans le bon sens et ça fait du bien)
Review by Frank
Nice spicy and woody nose with dried apricot, even something towards dried date. There is also briefly a slight hint of milk chocolate. I still find sour cherry and something nutty towards chestnuts. A tart sweetness as of maple syrup. Vanilla and nutmeg.Wonderful on the palate. Spicy and almost floral fruity. Clearly the sugar cane, but also cherry and fig. Nutty in the direction of walnut. Caramel I got and vanilla and nutmeg. Totally well integrated alcohol.In the finish the sweet-woody sugar cane.This rum is really great.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
For me a few drops of water were needed to reduce the alcohol bite. I enjoy the taste of dark chocolate, cherry, orange and licorice. Now 1989 coming right up.
Review by Spyoner971
Belle équilibre, bien laissé aérer pour déguster voir même 30 min, belle longueur, le verre reste imprégné et coloré après dégustation.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one can play with the 1989 that I also have. Overall another great rum from this destillery. The nose is fruity with vanilla and coffee in the front and caramel, barrel a bit of tar in the back. The palate is complex and well balanced with fruits and spices. There is a wonderful smoky oak feel to it. In the back i get chocolate and nuts. The finish is long and fruity with coffee and smoked oak.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Really great! A great rhum agricole that impresses above all with its dark notes. Between roasted aromas reminiscent of cocoa and coffee, but also barrel and (charred) wood, there are occasional aromas of dried fruit and individual fresh notes typical of Agricole. Tastes very good to me, like few Agricole bottlings to date.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Exciting rum. Multilayered, dirty, medicinal, slightly iodine, fruity, molasses. Alcohol very well integrated in the mouth.
