Review by cigares
A very clean agricultural nose with vegetal, yellow fruit (apple), red fruit and perfectly integrated wood. The palate is an extension of the nose, with aromas lurking and then slowly fading. A peppery edge adds complexity without detracting from the overall picture. The finish is moderately long, balanced and easy. A rum to be warmly recommended as an introduction to agricultural rums.
Review by Morgan Garet
Un rapport qualité prix énorme! Boisé juste comme il faut, beaucoup de fruits de caramel de vanille et des épices qui lui apporte du caractère et une belle longueur pour un VSOP de faible degré.

Nicht mein Geschmack, eher Mittelmaß.
Review by Antoine GUENIN-MALLET
Un rhum qui vous fait voyager d'un boisé au fruité en passant par du grillé c'est bien mélangé que ça soit au nez ou au goût. Un bon Rhum AOC

Robe : or brun Nez : boisé et fruité avec des arômes de confiture de coing et de gousses de vanille Bouche : équilibré sur des notes de fruits exotiques agrémentées d'épices douces (vanille, cannelle) Finale : structurée, harmonieuse et légèrement fumée
Review by Stefan Persson
Just like the XO it’s more or less a perfect entry to a tour in the Agricole world. Tasted this one at a rum cruise when it was included at Ian Burrell’s “Blindtaste” Master class. It was quite easy to get it right, cause it was the only Agricole included. The picture shows the included rums at the blindtaste.
Review by Tupiaz
I næsen sødme blomster og træ. Platten har det sammen. Fint sammenspil mellem sødmen/floraen og smagen fra fad. Har pga. Sin unge alder lidt kant, men sådan foretrækker rhum agricole.
Review by Eric Frechin
Cet agricole offre un bon compromis entre accessibilité et un peu de complexité. Je trouve que que l apport du fût est intéressant , je lui trouve quelque notes de bois humide . Du fruité au nez. En bouche du poivré, du sucre.
Review by Ian Gilman
A great mix of the grassiness’s of an agricole with the caramel of an aged spirit. Finish is pretty light. Could be bolder.
Review by Vincent D
I have never been disappointed by this VSOP, and each time I come back to it I find pleasure in it. It is simple, sweet, warm, vanilla, peppery to the nose. The taste is in keeping with it. One of my first premium rums but I still enjoy it.
Review by Montana
Ein sehr fruchtiger Geruch, etwas nach Lösungsmittel, süß, Kleber, Stroh. Der erste Geschmack erinnert an Whisky, kaum süß, leicht scharf, etwas fruchtig im Abgang. Ein angenehmer Rum...
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
This rum is rather beautiful in the nose, very pastry and fruity with very marked notes of coconut. I find it very different in the mouth, much drier with its tobacco and cocoa side. The finish is very peppery and vanilla. Nice agricultural rum but with a bitterness that I dislike a little. A good value for money though!
Review by TheTobias
Pleasantly fresh due to the green notes (bell pepper, grass). Barrel notes are well integrated. Spicy with chili and pepper notes. All in all a complex and well balanced rum punching over its pricetag.
Review by abaker-rum
This rum has a oaky, caramel, vegetal aroma with some slight ester to it. It’s has a light mouthfeel with a peppery and floral taste that meld together nicely. This transitions nicely to a medium woody and spice finish that maintains that strong peppery note.
