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.

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!

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

👃 Le nez nous offre du boisé, des fruits confits, un peu de caramel, d'amande et de vanille, tendance pâtissière. 👄 Il y a en plus en bouche des épices, un peu de chocolat et de fleurs, un mélange huileux de douceur et de force. Ce vieux rhum agricole supporte sans problème d'être aéré. La finale est longue.

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.

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.
