Most tasters land in the same happy place here: a fruity, dry Martinique agricole where dark chocolate, dried fruit and toasted oak sit on fresh sugarcane. The nose gets a lot of love — peach, marzipan, almond, cacao. The recurring grumble is the palate doesn't quite match it: several wanted more complexity and a longer finish. Give it time in the glass; it opens up.
The community says- Gorgeous fruity nose
- Chocolate and dried fruit
- Keep in mind: Finish a bit short

Tasted with the Depaz XO prestige, it is better in the mouth and the finish is more interesting despite a lower price. The nose is less interesting than the XO. In mouth a peaty side absent in the nose, dried fruits and tropical fruits. The finish is floral with violet.

Good Agricole, not super complex, but well suited for beginners. Pleasant wood tones, red fruits, some leather, pleasant sweetness. Alcohol well integrated, but you should give it some standing time.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Blind Tasting. Had guessed an Agricole from Martinique, but J. M.. On the nose I smell something like freshly limed wall and some owl, on the palate I taste smoky, floral notes. The rhum seems dry, the finish is long. An honest Agricole, I like. Update 2023-07-04: Re-tastings like this after some time are a fine thing. Can you find out nicely whether the taste has evolved, refined. And whether certain preferences have solidified. With this rum I can say: Full confirmation of the previous assessment abundant half a year ago. And additionally, surprisingly, jelly-filled Christmas cookies on the nose. Therefore, even one point more. Yummy!
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, it opens with warm dried fruits and an intense perfume. The tannins are melted and also bring some cocoa, perhaps milk chocolate. There are also some spices, the exotic fruits are ripe, especially papaya and pineapple. Fruits like banana or papaya then appear as if dried.The sugarcane is fresh... After an aeration, the wood is strong, spicy, with a note of a cigar box. The fruits fly underneath, candied, sweet. We have dried apricot, candied ginger and juicy sugarcane, fermented. 8,4:On the palate, the woodiness takes over, with fatty nuts. We might think of dark chocolate with raisins, before the spices open the way to a pepper.The sugarcane is fresh and mineral, juicy.The woodiness stays strong, as a mixture of prune and black fruits come into the game. 8,4:The finish is long and juicy with mineral sugarcane and very round fruits, a bit woody, dry, again dried fruits with a little minty freshness.. Edit:3.10.25
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 The nose offers us wood, candied fruits, a bit of caramel, almond and vanilla, pastry-like tendency. 👄 In the mouth, there are also spices, a bit of chocolate and flowers, an oily mix of sweetness and strength. This old agricole rum easily withstands being aired. The finish is long.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tried a few Depazzes this week. Was looking forward trying this one; the only vintage of the lot. Nose: peaches. Mango. Marzipan. Almonds among others. Wow great start. Complex and tasty. Taste: very fruity, dry. Bitter. Overripe peaches. Wood(spices). Cognac. French oak tannins. Hint of freshness. The woodiness might be a bit too much for some but is quite common among older Agricoles. It's quite bitter too. But the fruitiness ties it to a nice and complex whole. Got a 6cl sample. Will drink a second glass later in time.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very well-made agricultural rum. The nose subtly blends spices, wood, fruit and chocolate for a lovely roundness of flavor. The palate continues with a dry but rounded tone, a delight on which the same flavors rest, accompanied by caramel and tobacco. The finish is long, warm and pleasant. It's a pleasure to put your nose and mouth back in the glass.
Review by Richard Krupa
Acidity, disinfection, kokina, taste already too agri
Review by Leo Krüper
Great Agricole with a very drinkable appearance. Sure such super suitable for Agricole beginners.
Review by Raph Rhum
Good value for money. Lack of sweetness on the finish
Review by Timo Groeger
Last one before departure, again from the Advent calendar of La Route des Rhums. Delicious Agricole, again woody and spicy on the nose, notes of vanilla and cocoa are recognizable. Lots of agricole on the palate, as well as spice, wood and pepper.
Review by Tim
With this rum, wood, pungent dried fruit, and spices are found first on the nose. In second place resonates chocolate, caramel and floral sugar cane notes. Very faintly then still vanilla. In the mouth fruit acidity, dry and spicy. In the aftertaste then delicious chocolate with wood and fruit. Overall too dry and spicy for me.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Magnificent vintage, not too woody. A Martinique reference!
Review by Eric Frechin
No doubt you can definitely recognize a Depaz. The nose is a bit special, almost unusual for an agricole with a strong barrel smell, I would even say damp barrel, some pepper too, slight fruitiness. On the palate you get the woody note still present but more toasted, citrus and mild pepper. An honorable finish.
Review by Michal S
Balanced agricole with woody notes and dried fruit.
Review by Boletus
A rhum that is ideal for relaxed, uninhibited enjoyment on the couch as well as for concentrated dissection of the individual aromas. Fine woody aromas are framed by a wonderful tropical fruit mixture. Delicious from start to finish!
Review by Rodolphe
3rd in the series. A very catchy nose, pleasant, soft and greedy. Very nice. A little disappointed on the palate. A big spicy attack and then... it's a bit all over the place really. Too bad, I would have appreciated more complexity.
Review by travel_and_rum 🇧🇪 Christophe Klubert
Nice, strong spice, dry fruit and red fruit finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Depaz make great rums and this one is no exception. The price tag is very good compared to what you get. The nose is a clear Agricole with fruits, wood and vanilla trailed by chocolate and caramel. The nose is even better on the empty glass after a few hours. The palate is also Agricole with wood and fruits trailed by chocolate, tobacco and vanilla. The finish is long and warm with wood, dates and touch of vanilla.
Review by Paul Segui
Premier nez assez boisé assez fort en alcool pour seulement 45 degrés Pas trop d'arômes reconnaissables à première vue léger banane peut être Pas plus convaincant que ça au nez Première bouche sympa, il attaque mais on sent bien la canne le boisé les fruits sont plus présents Il est pas facile facile en arômes mais il est agréable Le boisé vient en second puis une fois avalé des parfums de fruits alors que c'est plus les épices au début mais qui partent près La fin de bouche est très présente en canne à sucre et en fruits, j'aime beaucoup la fin Il n'a rien à voir avec les Clément
Review by Korkennase🥃
A very nice dry Rhum Agricole. Very complex. Made for pure enjoyment. Can also be drunk as an aperitif or digestive. This rhum is for connoisseurs and gourmets. I can well imagine that this rhum could also be something for whiskey drinkers. The alcohol is well integrated and runs down the glass in fine bubbles.
Review by zabo
My first Depaz. I find this very tasty and it has that typical sugar cane flavor I expected. Otherwise, I still tasted wood and I imagine a slight taste of red grapes. Tastes good to me.
Review by VitaliiZaichuk
Very nicely rhum agricole for me ;) On the palate: that’s impressive chocolate is still really sweet with caramel and also a lot of wood . Finish: long , rather dry with wood , sweet, grass and jam figs. Rhum good)
Review by Benoit Mahe
The nose is not to my taste, too much red fruit. The palate is lively and light. I liked the finish best of all, but unfortunately it's a little short. Still a good classic.
Review by alex
It's greedy, it drinks well, but it's not exceptional either. Lacks complexity and finishes a little short.
Review by Christoph
Compared to the VSOP and XO of Depaz again a slight increase. Very "refreshing" rum and very pleasant on the palate.
Review by Spyoner971
Very good value for money, rum to have in your cellar
Review by passlemix
My memory of this rum was more woody and dry. The bottle has been half-empty for 1 year, and the sensations have clearly changed. The nose is really nice, very fresh now with quite a marked pear and dark chocolate still. There's also a hint of malabar (we all have our own references 😅 ) and aniseed that's gaining ground. On the palate, it's drier, but I still get the freshness of the pear and the aniseed. It still lacks a little power, but it's a nice rum. I wouldn't have rated it as highly on the first tasting.
Review by Mohamed
In the eye, a beautiful amber color, as well as a supple structure. On the nose, several scents reveal themselves: a scent of tropical fruits, especially mango, mixes with roasted spices and caramelized chocolate. The mouth is pleasant, confirming the aromas of tropical fruits and chocolate. The finish extends over a decent length, leaving a good taste of dark chocolate in the mouth. Good rum, recommended.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
🔹 Depaz 2002 – 45% An absolutely superb nose! You get a nice mix of dried and exotic fruits, with well-integrated wood, spices, and of course that always present cane. A pastry-like, refined and seductive nose. 👉 On the palate: it's rich, round, still on pastry notes, with fruit, wood, hazelnut and a touch of cocoa. Very balanced, but I hoped for a bit more complexity given the exuberance of the nose.
Review by Rum man
Very good rum that needs some time in the glass but gives me different flavors every time. One day I smell the more grassy notes, the other day peachy notes, and the background notes change constantly as well, from barrel notes to an almost whisky note. Can keep sniffing this rum forever. Sips great too of course.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Depaz, tuto znacku mam velice rad delaji super rumy. Vzdy se velmi tedim az ochutnam dalsi a dalsi kousek. Vune : ovocne tony broskve marcipan mandle cokolada Chut: cokolada , hodne dreva , konak, ovoce , krasne kulaty Zaver: dlouho trvajici , drevitost, suchost hrejivy
Review by Carlitooo
Top rum! Builds up great on the palate and has a pleasantly mild finish
Review by Mathieu Bgd
A very good agricole rum as we like them. Depaz managed to make use of this excellent 2002 which gives lots of cocoa air and a bit of brioche. With an average finish that remains slight. A very good quality-price ratio still findable if you look well.
Review by Quentin Leseigneur
A very pleasant rum to drink, mixing ripe fruits, creamy sweetness and delicate woodiness. A pleasure!
Review by Maxence Urbaniak
A rather soft nose that reveals significant power on the palate. Beautiful length in the mouth.
Review by RumRhush
Lovely cocoa and raisin finish!

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Very tasty. The long tropical barrel aging preserved the fresh and fruity aromas and complemented them with fine spicy and vanilla-bitter aromas with traces of green tea. A successful product.
