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
- But: 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
Un Depaz avec une finition en fût de porto, qui va marquer le rhum sur toute la longueur de la dégustation. Si le nez est assez varié, avec ses notes légèrement florales, de fruits secs et de caramel, la bouche est dominée et surtout par le raisin sec et le pruneaux, apportés par la finition en fût de porto. Se cachent derrière un boisé vanillé et quelques notes de cannelle. La finale est malheureusement un peu courte par rapport au reste. Un rhum au profil typique de sa distillerie mais légèrement en deçà par rapport aux standards de Depaz.
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
Pour le coup c’est vraiment pas mon truc ces finish porto sur le rhum je trouve qu’on alourdit tout, qu’on arrondit de trop, on perd la canne et même le boit n’y est plus. Ok pour un dessert ou un accord fromage à Noël mais sinon sans moi !
Review by F.L.O.
Nach langer Zeit mal wieder eine m Mund. Agricole mit Port ist einfach geil, Diese florale Note zusammen mit dem heftigen portfinish, ohne dabei zu süß zu sein- genial. Er schmeckt sogar noch „frisch“. Schönes Trockenobst in der Nase und am Gaumen. Klasse rum
Review by Christian Rudt
Portweinfass kommt gut zur Geltung. Ergänzend nicht erdrückend. Gelungen. Funktioniert vermutlich sehr gut als Begleitung zu einem guten Essen.
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, 10. GRF, Berlin Nase: mild fruchtig, leicht grasig, Gaumen: durch den Port anfänglich säuerlich Fruchtig und würzig, grasig Aus meiner Sicht machen cask Ausbauten den Grundstoff nicht zwingend besser. So auch hier. Bleibt aber ein gut trinkbarer Agricole
Review by Air-one
Le Depaz Port Cask Finish est nettement dominé par des notes Porto et pruneau. Dès le nez, la gourmandise ressort, portée par les notes porto, fruitées. Le goût, boisé rappel le côté agricole. Là aussi le pruneau et le Porto dominent. La finale, longue, gourmande est dans la lignée du nez et du goût.
Review by Léo Delek
Un côté encaustique/cire d'abeille se distingue ainsi qu'un voile mentholé, du pruneau et de la vanille
Review by Galli33
Very delicious Depaz with a nice impact of the port barrel. The alcohol is integrated very well.
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 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.)
