One taster called this "one of the nicest and most affordable agricoles," and that captures the mood. It's a clean, light white from Madeira: fresh sugarcane on the nose, floral and green notes, a bit of olive and cucumber, and a spicy, dry finish. A few compare it to good pisco or grappa. The olive-vegetal edge divides people — some love the freshness, others find it too one-sided.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane nose
- Clean and light
- Keep in mind: Olive/vegetal edge

Most helpful positive review
This was a very and I mean a very nice surprise. I rarely sip white rums, but this one brought me over. A wonderfully balanced 3 year old white, which presents itself with a wonderful nose and a surprise to your palate. A nice warm finish with fruits, spice and a bit of flowers to it. Stays in your throat and nose for a long time after sipping. Definitely one I'd recommend rum lovers to try and sip.

This is definitely not for me.
Review by Christian Rudt
Somewhat flowery nose and lots of green tones. You have to like it. I like it.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
An interesting agricole from a rum Christmas calendar a few years ago. It is a good sipper, but I could see this in a cocktail. In the nose, no doubt this is sugarcane, but also acidy hints. In the notes I got some spices, licorice and a floral aftertaste
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
One of the most beautiful & affordable Agricoles ever. Strongly reminiscent of good Peruvian pisco. In the ti punch, the grape note comes through really nicely.
Review by Anonymous
Grassy, spicy, strong, somewhat one-dimensional
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Lacks a bit of alcoholic concentration despite the 50% alcohol.
Review by Lennart Hofeditz
Simply not my thing, too much olive comes through.
Review by Daniel
Sugarcane, vanilla, tobacco, slightly alcoholic. Alcohol clearly comes forward, sometimes sharp. Sugarcane, floral notes and fruit brandy recognizable. Short, inconspicuous finish. Has a distinct character, but not really my thing.
Review by m8375e
Clean, light agricole, close to mid tier Martinique.
Review by Christoph
Reminds me of Macronesian Gin (volcanic spring water) in its clarity and gives a slightly dirty, vegetable flavor with cucumber and olive like in some Clairins in the finish. Agricole through and through, slightly sweet and very mild in taste. Super fresh nose.
