Soft, complex agricole single cask Highly praised agricole single cask: soft yet complex, with elegant fruit, spice and oak integration. Community loves the nose and overall balance, a rewarding sip for experienced drinkers.
Agricole fans wanting a well-aged, unsweetened single cask with fruity, spicy and lightly woody notes that stays soft and approachable around 48%.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another wonderful surprise. Very fruity with vanilla and some earthiness to it. I like the oilyness and nuts about this one.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
I love it! A real journey into real agriculture! A nose of spices and stewed fruit mixed with the smell of the barrel, and what a beautiful barrel it is! On the palate, it's also very good, with the oak barrel but very well balanced with the taste of fruit on a spicy background. In short, a very good rum from HSE!
Review by Emiliano Distillatomico
A single cask, distilled in 2003 and aged 12 years in tropical climate in a French oak barrel! On the nose, it is a mix of very pleasant and enveloping aromas!! Spicy with notes of vanilla and dried fruit that integrate well with the freshness and vegetal typical of rums from this land!! On the palate, there is a harmony of flavors that somewhat recall the previous olfactory notes with an alcohol strength of 47.8% vol well integrated and just right for this rum... in my opinion!! A medium-long finish closes a really pleasant and well-structured drink..! Approved!!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Single Cask 2003-2015 at 47.8%. This rum was distilled in 2003 and aged for 12 years in Martinique in a single 400L French oak barrel. On the nose, it's immediately clear why the cellar master decided to make this a Single Cask. Cocoa appears first, followed by ripe banana and Mamy's compote. Enjoying this masterful nose, we catch a glimpse of basic empyreumatic notes (coffee and tobacco). On the palate, it's less gourmand but complex. Drier, with notes of coffee and tobacco. Personally, I prefer the nose to the mouth on this Single Cask.
