Near-universal love here, with only one member calling the scores a touch generous. This 12-year Depaz agricole punches well above its 45% — full-bodied and round, never watery, with sugarcane, orange, dried herbs, a little licorice and a hint of sweetness. Several tasters wish it had a few more degrees for the finish, but the balance wins them over.

How does Depaz XO Grande Réserve (Wooden Box) taste?
Summarized by AI from 16 community reviews.
Rounded, full-bodied Martinique agricole Widely rated as a top-tier agricole and a genuine value pick; the only recurring gripe is that a slightly higher proof would sharpen an already long finish.

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
The third high-quality Agricole in the tasting... and it tops them all... Very complex, full-bodied, soft and harmonious. The fruity, sweet aromas pamper the nose in the finest way. On the palate, it develops a complex sensory feast of sweet, fruity, spicy, herbal and light spice. Alcohol is barely perceptible. The finish is beautifully intense and smooth... a top-class Agricole
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.
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 Johannes
Nice balance! For only 45% you get a lot of flavor! Unbelievable!
Review by mto75
On the nose citrus fruits, spice, dried herbs, vanilla, sweetly underlaid. On the palate licorice, tannins, very soft and round. Amazing what is possible within the 'standard range', or was. Too bad now there is only the 10-year-old successor.
Review by Mentalo
Very nice Agricole. With only 45% it can do a lot. Doesn't feel watery in the mouth and is very well balanced. Sweet, fruity, spices, vegetal notes. It all fits very well together. A few more degrees would probably have done it good. Especially in the finish.
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.
