Depaz Hors d'Âge Port Cask Finish
Most tasters land on the same verdict: the port cask does its job well without burying the cane. Dried figs, prune and raisin lead, backed by vanilla, cocoa and a soft grassy agricole edge underneath. At 45% the alcohol sits well integrated and it drinks fairly soft. A few purists feel the port rounds off too much of the sugarcane, but even they call it an easy, food-friendly pour.
The community says- Prune & fig depth
- Well-judged port
- Keep in mind: Softens the cane

Port-finished agricole, fruity and food-friendly Most agree the port finish is well-judged — fruity, gently sweet, food-friendly — though a few agricole purists feel it rounds off too much of the cane.

Overall a very good Port Cask Finished Agricole that I tasted at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024. It has first been aged for at least 8 years whereafter it’s finished during 11 months in former Port Casks. At nose is oak, vanilla, chocolate and ripe fruits recognizable. In mouth and at the palate is flavors of oak, vanilla and chocolate detectable together with notes of port, hazelnut, dried fruits and cocoa. During the rather long finish is beside the above, notes of jasmine, coffee and plum found.

Both in the nose and taste plummy, fruity.Addendum: still a great Agricole with successful PortCask finish.
Review by LukaŽiga
9,2:On the nose, one immediately gets the sensation of a very round rum, where the nuts and spices are heady and caught in a mellow thickness. The dried fruits are quite sweet, as in the mixtures that one nibbles on as an aperitif (dried pineapple and papaya). The rum suddenly bursts and delivers a large raspberry bubble in sorbet. The cane splashes when this bubble bursts, and the rather dry wood is no match for the very exotic fruit that then rolls in. The aeration confirms and reinforces the impression of roundness, and even of sugar, with in addition very mellow and muffled vanilla aromas. Banana and chocolate surf on this very greedy side, the cane is mixed with caramel. 9:The entry in the mouth is very sweet, as the nose promised, with notes of coconut and caramel. The toasted wood comes in and tightens it up a bit, the previous notes then change into a kind of soy sauce. The mid-palate is very agricultural, the peppery cane accompanied by lime zest brings a naturalness and a bitterness necessary to the balance of the rum. 9:The finish is surprising because it is marked by rather powerful notes of fermentation, almost on the vegetable, but also by slightly metallic and rather sulphurous flavours. The length on the palate comes from the spices and especially the cinammon... Edit:3.8.25
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Depaz with a port cask finish, which marks the rum throughout the tasting. If the nose is quite varied, with its slightly floral notes, dried fruits and caramel, the palate is dominated especially by raisins and prunes, brought by the port cask finish. Behind are hidden a vanilla woodiness and some cinnamon notes. Unfortunately the finish is a bit short compared to the rest. A rum with a typical profile of its distillery but slightly below Depaz standards.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Sweet rhum, but even if the rhum from HSE with Port Cask Finish (RX7545) is much younger and cheaper, I like it a little better than this Depaz, because the HSE very appropriate port note is more dominant. Nevertheless, I can also recommend the Depaz just Agricole beginners with a clear conscience, he makes the entry gently.
Review by Oliver
Very successful "experiment". The ideal Agricole for molasses fans.
Review by TheJackDrop
For once, these port finishes on rum are really not my thing, I find that it weighs everything down, rounds off too much, you lose the cane and even the drink is no longer there. Okay for a dessert or a cheese pairing at Christmas but otherwise no thanks!
Review by F.L.O.
After a long time, once again in my mouth. Agricole with Port is just awesome, This floral note together with the intense port finish, without being too sweet - brilliant. It even tastes "fresh". Nice dried fruit on the nose and palate. Great rum.
Review by Christian Rudt
Port wine cask comes through well. Complementary, not overwhelming. Successful. Probably works very well as an accompaniment to a good meal.
Review by Timo Groeger
A beautiful Depaz, the Port Cask definitely comes through in the nose and palate, has a slight wine note. Also dried fruit and spice on the nose. Dried fruit and a little chocolate on the palate. White to please.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Lovely rum where you get a lot for your money. Love the dried fruit flavors and the caramel from start to finish.
Review by Righrum
The Port is noticeable but yet not overwelming. A solido agricole with an unusual finish
Review by Tim
One of the few Agricoles that I think are not quite so dry and spicy, but more on the fruity side. Probably comes through the port finish a certain sweetness to it, also is very much fruit and wine present. In addition, the typical earthy and leathery notes, but also cocoa and roasted flavors. With this, I find it complex and one of the best Agricoles I've had.
Review by Frank
Agricole tasting, 10th GRF, Berlin Nose: mildly fruity, slightly grassy, Palate: initially sour due to the port Fruity and spicy, grassy In my view, cask finishes don't necessarily improve the base spirit. Same here. Still a good drinkable Agricole.
Review by Air-one
The Depaz Port Cask Finish is clearly dominated by notes of Port and prune. From the nose, the indulgence stands out, carried by the port and fruity notes. The taste, woody, recalls the agricultural side. Here too, prune and Port dominate. The finish, long and indulgent, is in line with the nose and taste.
Review by Galli33
Very delicious Depaz with a nice impact of the port barrel. The alcohol is integrated very well.
Review by Léo Delek
A waxy/beeswax side stands out as well as a menthol veil, prune and vanilla.
Review by passlemix
An accessible and relatively soft Depaz. On the nose, dominant apple, cherry, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it's spicier and aniseed, you still feel the wood. A version where I found the impact of the port finish immediately recognizable both on the palate and nose, and ultimately quite marked but pleasant. Some barely perceptible earthy sensations at the end of the palate add a bit more complexity. A nice rum but ultimately quite classic for this finish. I prefer other versions at similar prices from the same house.
Review by Rado Vito
Ok, I do love port finish rums and this one is really good. If you like vsop and you don’t mind that this one is even softer with tones of port and his sweetness. Go for it. Price is a little bit higher. 75€ would be a price I am willing to pay for it (I have only a sample.)
Review by VitaliiZaichuk
I like Depaz. ) The nose is less interesting than the XO: floral , cocoa , vanilla and slightly fresh fig.) In mouth a very intense chocolate witn caramel .) The finish is slightly grass Agricole .)
Review by Michal S
A very solid rum on the border of agricole, port adds to its aroma, overall fuller taste.
Review by Richard Krupa
Spices, raisins, quite sweet, strong port
Review by TheSloggy33
Pleasant surprise. Not a big fan of Depaz, but this one is very good, at a very reasonable price.
