8.1/10

Ein recht ausgewogener Agricole aus Mauritius der sehr elegant und weich daher kommt. Die Aromen sind recht komplex aus Frucht, Süsse, Fass und Gras. Im Abgang dominiert agricoletypisch mehr die pflanzliche Seite. Ein entspannter Sipper

Schöne Agricole-Note, die Nase noch sehr verhalten aber am Gaumen wirklich toll mit dem Geschmack von Kräutern, Holz und Kirsche. Alkohol gut eingebunden! Mittelanger komplexer Abgang. Sehr solide und natürlich hübsche Flasche! Ist der wirklich aus Melasse hergestellt worden???

Triple Balan Family Selection Tasting. Die Nase wird dominiert von Alkohol und vergorenen Früchten. Weiß grad nicht ob positiv oder negativ. Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol wie weg und somit gut eingebunden. Melassegeschmack kommt nach vorne und Trockenobst. Der Abgang ist leider nicht so lang.

Ui, gewöhnungsbedürftiger Agricole (ähm, ich meine, Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft). Etwas zu sprittig und bitter. Würde am ehesten auf Labourdonnais tippen. Muss man nicht unbedingt probiert haben.
