Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
With a minimum age of 12 years this rum is a really good example on how to make a proper rum Agricole.
Review by Stefan Persson
An at least 12yo very subtle, smooth, full bodied and nice Rhum with rich flavors of fruits, grass and sugarcane. Unfortunately it’s not produced anymore instead is the distillery producing another Agricole with the same name less aged and bottled in another type of bottle with a blue label.
Review by Galli33
I got this wonderfull sample from Joachim! Thanks man 🤜🏻 This is an awesome and delicious agricole🤤🤤 Nose: Sugarcane, herbal and floral, orange, leather, cinnamon and licorice. Mouth: Full bodied, less fruity. Finish: Long and delicious. The alcohol is integrated well. Blindly i gave it >45%. Great price per value ratio!!!
Review by Joachim Guger
The typical Depaz markers are present (dried fruit, licorice). A hint of sweetness. Very round, very balanced and above all very drinkable. 🍼🍼🍼 Phenomenal finish! Depaz profile and phenomenally drinkable. The newer version (golden stripe at the top of the label) tastes very similar, perhaps a touch more citrus.
Review by Thunderbird
Der Dritte hochwertige Agricole im Tasting… und er toppt sie alle… Sehr komplex, vollmundig, weich und harmonisch . Die fruchtig süßen Aromen verwöhnen die Nase auf das Feinste. Am Gaumen entwickelt er ein komplexes sensorisches Festspiel von süß, fruchtig, würzig, pflanzlich und leichter Würze. Alkohol ist kaum wahrnehmbar. Der Abgang ist schön intensiv und geschmeidig.. ein Agricole der Spitzenklasse
Review by Johannes
Nice balance! For only 45% you get a lot of flavor! Unbelievable!
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
A wonderfully balanced agricole. A little sweet at the beginning, then a little wood and finally the herbal notes. I already like it very much. It could just have a little more oomph.
Review by F.L.O.
Quite restrained on the nose. Surprisingly creamy and intense in the mouth. But could do with 2-3 percent more.
Review by zabo
Beautiful, elegant and round rum. I would probably never have tasted this if Rodolphe hadn't "forced" it on me in the split. Overall a nice representative, although I think the rating is a little too high so far.
