8.4/10

A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. The nose is pleasant, with vegetal notes and a hint of honey. Not much else here. On the palate, the same aromas are present, with no lime or other citrus. The finish is rather long on sugar. A double-distilled rum, fragmented, good but not very complex. A discovery nonetheless, because it's delicious!

7.5/10

Tasted at RhumFest Paris 2024, so the note is a little dated. A very vegetal rum, with the lion's share of cane. Once again, these rums for Madeira juice have a real, very pleasant typicity.

Very decent Agricola. A bit too imbalanced on the alcohol side but the taste is very interesting. It has melon notes and a note of cake with fruit in it. It is, however, not very oily, which is refreshing in this instance.
