Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Incredibly beautiful agricole single cask. Extremely smooth, harmonious, nice light sweetness, mirabelle, bitter orange, red grapes, honey and dark dark chocolate with sea salt, some grapefruit.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A beautiful and well balanced rum with nice Agricole notes. Fruity and fresh with nice wood notes. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate and light nutty notes.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Really good and round cask strength Agricole.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Moving up two points, after a retasting. One of the better agricoles I had so far (out of not that many). Nicely complex. Some sulphur, especially on the nose, but not an issue. Wonderful, i love the apple honey smell and loads of mirabelles, oranges, grapes in taste, hint of licorice and a sulphur note. on finish i have some floral honey sweetness with a bit of tartness. Finish not too long, but overall round and very enjoyable rum. Thanks Dr Django for the sample.
Review by Thunderbird
The Depaz Single Casks in cask strength are always an experience in the positive sense. So is this one... the spice, the barrel impact, and fruit and finally the typical herbal Agricolenote are perfectly balanced!class
Review by Léo Delek
A little less fruit and a little more spice (compared with the 2000). On the nose, I find prunes and nuts, with the very noble wood still present. The notes are much more gourmand than on the 1st, with stewed fruit and fresh notes of eucalyptus. This medicinal side almost reminds me of a Guyana, while retaining the agricultural framework.
Review by Mike H.
I’m on a never ending quest to find some rums that pair well with cigars. The woody and fruity flavours go almost perfectly with the cigar. The citrus taste is very pleasant as are the chocolate notes in the finish. There is also a slight sweetness present which marries well with the taste of the cigar.
Review by Djehey
Martinique with a capital M. Superbly intense, with a big, greedy woodiness. The spices are very present. When I opened the bottle, I was bothered by a very pronounced nutmeg aspect. Oxidation has smoothed this out.
