Here's the twist: it opens on the nose like a sweet molasses rum — vanilla, honey, caramel, pastries — then flips agricole the second it hits your tongue. Cask-strength 14-year Martinique from Chantal Comte: dark cherry, tobacco, oak, nutmeg and a floral-grassy edge. Several tasters call it the best agricole they've had. The catch is the 64.8% — plenty present.

How does Rhum Chantal Comte Maison La Mauny La Tour De L'Or 2001 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Complex, cask-strength old Martinique agricole Loved by nearly everyone, and a favorite of the Chantal Comte La Mauny series for many. Complex, beautifully wood-driven, alcohol well integrated — though a few find the strength a touch much on the palate.

Madness! A real killer agricole!

Fart-dry, lots of wood, lots of spices but without any sweetness. Minimal citrus and some tobacco. I had hoped for much more overall ... the tannins are too much in the foreground for me although I am otherwise an agricole fan.
Review by Joachim Guger
Excellent Agricole, tastes slightly better to me than the 2006. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Intoxicating nose to enjoy. Barrel aging they can anyway perfectly in the French Antilles. I just tasted it with the Neisson 15 Ans Batch #2, it is very similar and equally good.
Review by cigares
A rum of which I had high expectations, yet which did not disappoint. Rodolphe told me it was one of his favorite rums. On the nose, a great sweetness, with fruit (pineapple, banana, passion fruit) and vegetal notes. The attack on the palate is smooth, with a beautiful aromatic palette. Everything's in place, it couldn't be better. Incredibly smooth, given the ABV. The finish is long and delicate, with a noble bitterness. A rum that ticks all the boxes. In direct comparison with the 2010, it seems fresher, with more fruit and flowers, but the finish is a little less long and complex.
Review by Rodolphe
I'm under the spell of the nose! Sumptuous, one could spend hours on it. On the palate, pepper and nutmeg, I'd say, as usual with agricultural wines. But citrus, yellow fruit and vanilla are not far off... If I were as hooked on the palate as on the nose, it would be 95! Excellent, for the moment the best agricole I've tasted. Thank you DrDjango!
Review by Jakob
Chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, barrel aromas - the nose offers an almost perfect reflection of the Agricole profile. On the palate, the spectrum of aromas remains largely identical, although the alcohol is more noticeable - which is why I consider the Chantal Comte bottling of the 2006 vintage to be a tick ahead of this release in my verdict. Both deliver top quality.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
With a medium to long finish this was the nights favorite. Fruity and woody from nose to finish with spice and a light floral touch. A bottle very hard to find but none the less a great one.
Review by Thunderbird
The best Agricole I've had so far! From nose to palate very complex and intense ... the finish is nice medium length and rounds out the taste experience! Wonderful Today for the 2nd ten times in the glass, thanks RumX calendar! The enthusiasm continues 😎
Review by zabo
Lucky day today, the second absolute top drop in the glass. After tasting Saint James yesterday, this one is already worlds away. Hell yesterday, heaven today. This is probably the closest comparison. Thank you Joachim for opening up the world of Agricole to me once again.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: the alcohol is a little superficial but still an excellent rum, rating unchanged. Wow, this is once an intense column still rum! Nuts, spicy and fruity and sweetness associated with the fruit on the nose. And unmistakably Agricole! On the palate a lot of wood / barrel and bitter but still balanced. I'm not a big Agricole fan (so far) but I like this one from the start and it's one of my top 3 Agricole rums. Unfortunately, no longer readily available.
Review by Frank
This bottler has already bottled very good agricoles; and this one seems to be no exception. On the contrary! Nose: very intense, powerful and full-bodied. Clearly a mature agricole. Beautiful and clear wood acidity, oak and dark fruit, such as blackberry. Fine vanilla and leather with light tobacco. With apple, it also reminds me a little of old Calvados. The almost 65% is still cutting at the beginning, but also draws in a lot of aromas. The nose becomes more and more beautiful. 9,0 Palate: amazing! Intense, complex and full-bodied, powerful and delicious. Again oak and wood acidity, plus salty and spicy, with nutmeg, caraway and clove. Quite bitter at the beginning, but immediately followed by blackberry, sour cherry and bitter orange with lemon peel. There are also roasted nuts such as pecan. Everything is again underpinned by a pleasant acidity, perhaps from blackcurrant. I also have this in the powerful aftertaste, where green twigs and grass are still present. 9,2 A really expressive, complex, intense and yet round Agricole. It's rare to find something like this in a glass.
Review by TheRhumhoe
An extraordinary rum that shows the French style can rival the British style. The nose is an olfactory delight, immersed between candied and pastry notes, aromas of tobacco, tropical fruits and an avalanche of spices, all forming a gourmand and very complex blend. On the palate, the attack is intense but terribly delicious. Again, a spicy, fruity and pastry triangular leads the dance while tobacco, wood, cocoa and nuts lie in ambush. The alcohol is extremely well integrated. The finish is long, very spicy and fresh, with notes of tea and licorice complementing an already superb profile. A true sensational gem that belongs to the top tier of agricole rums.
Review by Galli33
#15th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, coconut, woody, light spicy, honey, pastries Mouth: coconut, citrus, fruity, agricole, earthy, tobacco, nutmeg Finish: long, oak, woody, earthy, delicious, black tea, milk chocolate Wow, this is an amazing agricole. Starts without being an agricole, but in the mouth it’s chancing immediately. The finish is long and delicious and earthy. Really a great rum. It’s an agricole. My prediction: from Martinique, but i’m unsure to pick a distillery. ca. 55% approx. 15 Years
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas 2022, #15, blind: I’m going with agricole, but I’m lacking experience in the French style to make an educated guess. I can’t differentiate enough between the distilleries. It opens up really nice, floral-honey flavors for me. Wow alcohol integration is amazing… first Chantal Comte for me I think. Not disappointed 😍
Review by mto75
great complexity on the nose! I am particularly impressed by the intense (cherry) wood notes on the palate!
Review by Jarek
I saved this one for last at today's Agricole tasting. Admittedly, the others were rather mid-range today. Then I lifted the lid off the glass and... wow, what a nose! So sweet! Also great on the palate, but the nose remains the highlight. Surprisingly, the sweetness is still there until the finish. I was afraid it would be too woody for me, but no, just the right amount here too. This is the Agricole premier league.
Review by Mike H.
One of the most complex and balanced agricoles I’ve tasted so far.
Review by Tschusikowsky
I expected a lot from this rhum. Unfortunately, it couldn't fulfill these expectations for me. A very good agricole, no doubt about it. But not quite in my top league.
Review by alex
I had the chance to taste the whole 'tout de L’or' series. For me, this is the best. Beautiful length, superb balance. Beautiful complexity. Big ❤️
Review by Skyfly
RumX Advent Calendar 2022: a wonderful Agricole that you only notice a bit on the palate. On the nose, pastry combined with wood, nuts, dried fruits, coconut, and tobacco. On the palate, additionally sugarcane and tropical fruits. Alcohol very well integrated!
Review by Santo
A marvel!!
Review by Serge
Tasted in the RumX advent calendar. Rums like these are the reason why I like to take part in this calendar: You get to experience very fine things outside your comfort zone. Stored agricoles have not been my thing so far. Just didn't have a really good one. This rum is an absolute gem and I will certainly keep my eyes open for samples in this area from now on.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good!
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
More rich than 2010, with still great alcohol integration, the extra wood touch adds to density and complexity. Very elegant expression again. my fav one is still the 2006, just the spiciness and fruitiness adds another dimension for me, though preferably would be good to have both bottles:)

Review by TheJona'Spirits
After the Maison La Mauny vintage 2010 then 2006 selected by Mrs. Chantal Comte, here is the Tour de l'Or 2001. Let's see what this 14-year-old cask strength has inside. 👃 Essence of noble wood, vanilla and spicy wood especially nutmeg. The sugarcane has wonderfully evolved towards barley sugar, soft honey, honey candy, caramel coating pastries. The fruits are in the background but not absent. Slightly toasted fresh coconut, dried fruits from Christmas cake, a bit of red fruits and woods. Everything I love in an agricole, without that damp wood smell found in many other distilleries. Mention to the excellent integration of the alcohol. Aromatic and complex nose on which one can linger for hours. 😋 Much more fruit than on the nose, on a stewed aspect; citrus (orange zest, grapefruit, mandarin), dried fruits and coconut still. The wood is more present but never turns to the unpleasant astringency of other Martinique agricoles. Here it is dry, nicely spiced (vanilla, pepper, nutmeg, juniper). These spices evolve towards a slightly earthy, floral and dried leaf sensation (tobacco). As on the nose, the alcohol perception is near perfect. A tasty, intense and balanced mouth. ⛳ Very long, warm, noble wood, nuts fallen from the tree and dried, vanilla pod, melted licorice, oak essence, caramelized staves, milk chocolate, spicy, peppery. The empty glass develops smells of black tea infusion, cut herbs and very old single malt. 🏆 This La Tour de l'Or 2001 gathers all the olfactory markers of its younger brothers with more concentration and finesse. Simply an excellent old agricole rum.
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose some solvent, red fruits, wood, roasted sugar, tobacco and citrus. On the palate it is both spicy(pepper especially) and fruity( red fruits) with notes of citrus, roasted peanuts, wood and light floral hints. In the finish it is long and intense, the ABV is perfectly integrated, better than the 2006, but I still prefer the 2010.
Review by HenryL
RumX Advent Calendar 15.12. Great Agricole, although (or because?) you don't notice it that much. The only thing I can't quite warm to is the roasted wood note that this rum also brings with it. With a little more time in the glass it becomes rounder, so I'll have to adjust it upwards again.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
One of my current favorites, sublime!
Review by Mopar Rules
Must have opened the bottle on the same day Oliver did his sample test three days ago. Realized the other day, when I read his review and I absolutely agree, “Killer Agricole”. So had to pour another glas today. On the nose a wide range of fruits from orange to dried fruits. The american oak bourbon cask shines through and reminds of the HSE chêne américaine. Very balanced and complex with a warm sweetness. It might have been even better on the palate with less ABV. The 64,8% are quite present and a bit too much. Still very well integrated compared to other rums that ABV. I realized a saltiness and a delicate note of the cask that dominates even the finish. A bit of fresh polish. But sweetness as well. High rating but still have the Domain de Courcelle 1972 in mind. The benchmark.
Review by Filip Šikula
Wow, this is something! Beautiful, super pleasant and complex nose. Flowers, pastry, fruit, and caramel. On the palate then lots of fruit, sweetness, perfectly integrated alcohol. Very pleasant piece standing out among other juice pieces.
Review by David
Fruits, tobacco, woody and pastry. Excellent!!!
Review by VidDa Misat
"A masterpiece"
Review by CaRaph
Exceptionally good and complex agricole rhum. The bottle had been at a local grocery store for months about a hundred euros under market price :) Empty glass smells like tea, honey, a bit roasted and maybe a little smoke.
Review by Nando70
What power... The nose is complicated... You feel softness, floral and woody notes and what complexity... But you have to face the strength of the alcohol. On the palate, the alcohol makes you salivate immediately, it is very difficult to appreciate the complexity served... Needless to say, the finish is long, very long... What an exceptional rum. A drop of water would be welcome? I don't know. I'm old school... I appreciate a product as it is made. This rum is difficult to grasp. But what a rum... Exceptional... Period.
Review by L' Art Rhumiste
Of incredible complexity, we have here a VERY GREAT RUM with an endless finish. Perfectly balanced and classy. You could spend the whole day with it.
Review by Buddudharma
RumX Advent calendar 15.12.22: Great old Agricole, somewhat reminiscent of J.M in style. Elegant, balanced, yet with high intensity. A great rum!
Review by Monkispinne
A delicious gourmandíse. Very tasty.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Tobacco, wood, herbs, dark fruits. Definitely high Agricole school. Needs a little time to stand, then the first alcoholic sting in the nose disappears. Unfortunately only available for a lot of money.
Review by John Coffey
A magnificent nose after a good aeration, but too powerful on the palate for my taste... Beautiful complexity with a blend of vanilla, honey and citrus. The spiciness also comes through strongly on the finish.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2001. I rate it 8.5 out of 10, an excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 reviews.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
What a top rhum ! Tasted in the RumX calendar. From the nose I still assumed a molasses rum and have tried to assign the aromatics. On the palate, however, the subtle florality and hay note has indicated a long-stored Agricole. The vanilla note in the nose is also quite great cinema. Stored La Mauny is from now on also on the radar.
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Uhh, this is why Chantal Comte is such a high class independent bottler. This is complex, with dark cherry notes, tobacco, wood, florally. It is such a wonderful spirit in all regards. Just in awe in face of this quality
