Review by Godspeed
I don’t know what it is about Dillon but they just do it for me. I fricking love this thing. The first agricole rum I ever had that I actually got excited by and that made me get why cane juice rum is an art form worth discovering. Agricoles inherently have a savageness and a wildness to them and in my opinion you don’t want them tamed too much. I often like the vsop expressions better than the xo’s. If there’s no fight left in them you lose one of the biggest charms of the agricole taste experience. This Dillon VSOP is right in that sweet spot between fierce and sophisticated. A tremendous expression and highly recommended.

A good example to get in touch with Agricole Rum.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein ganz okayer Rum nichts besonderes, aber auch nicht schlecht. Die Nase fast ausschliesslich holzig, geht Richtung Eiche, aber auch eine kleine Kaffeenote ist zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls überwiegend Holz und Fass und etwas Kaffee.

Basic farming. Woody. Vanilla sensation. Not bad. But nothing special either.

65Assez vif acide, à voir comment ça s oxydé avec le temps. Ça reste correct pour le prix, Torréfaction, agrume, canne assez épicé. 69. En mode soirée, ça passe bien tout de même
Review by Righrum
A good entry level agricole. Nothing that a rum geek will ever look for, indeed it is pleasant to drink in its simplicity. Vanilla spices and wood on the nose, drinkwise wood is stronger and a vegetal note adds to the palette.
Review by Stefan Persson
This rhum replaced the 5yo VSOP Reserve du Comte Arthur Dillon when Dillon changed their range, at least by name. Could be the same rhum in a new bottle, even if I don’t think so. It’s quite smooth on the palate and during the medium long finish, for a 4yo AOC Rhum.
Review by StormAK
Этот ром звучит из бокала фруктово и ярко. Во вкусе остается гладким, понятным, при этом добавляется старая добрая дубовая бочка . финиш деревянный, напоминающий коньяк. Немного спиртуощности, которая не мешает наслаждаться продуктом.
