One taster called it "surprisingly good for a three year," expecting a mixer and finding toffee, oak and vanilla instead. This young Madeira agricole, made from cane juice, leans woody with lemon, dried fruit and a grassy cane edge. Simple and direct — most find the barrel a bit dominant and short on depth, but it's an honest, easy entry into the agricole style.

Review by Mike H.
42 points. I received this as a freebie with some samples. Nothing much stands out, some wood, caramel and vanilla in the nose. Tropical fruit and alcoholic on the palate. Not my cup of tea or should I say glass of rum 😂
Review by Stefan Persson
The distillery uses their own sugar cane for the production and use sugar cane juice, so it’s an Agricole. In the near future (May 2021) it’s just Madeira, besides the French Overseas Departments, that could call their rum for Agricole if sold inside the EU. It’s distilled in a column still and then aged for three years in French oak barrels. The finish is rather long and tastes the same as on the palate.

Another sampler at the mall and again not a sipper for me. My guess is a mixer or punch for this one.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A young rum from Madeira, very simple, opening the nose with woody, vanilla, and slightly spicy notes, then especially fruits, notably lemon, grape, and something more exotic. There is a small floral touch that settles in the nostrils. Overall soft and calm, enough to allow novices to approach this type of rum. The palate holds a bit more character, notably with a more pronounced woodiness from the cask. The spices are more pronounced with chili, while the agricultural and herbal side appears with the sugarcane. Despite tropical fruits and raisins, the profile develops a slight bitterness and an alcoholic touch (probably from the terroir). The alcohol remains quite well integrated. The finish, quite short, goes on roasted notes and tobacco. We find the woody and agricultural side, dried fruits, some spices, and a hint of caramel. A simple and straightforward rum but rather well made for an entry-level rum.
Review by Niko
An agricole without great flavors...
Review by MoMcGurk
A little cherry aroma and a little caramel. A nice oaky flavor. Warm finish, but not a strong burn.

Solid for 14€!
Review by Tom Buteneers
Disappointing, very direct with no depth or flavor evolution. Burning in the nose. Taste reminiscent of cheap whiskey. Predominantly barrel and alcohol in taste. Didn't even find it worth really taking the time for.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. Very simple Agricole style rum.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Artificial, chemical taste and aftertaste. Nose is slightly better than the taste. Slight spice.
Review by Luks
Disappointing, lacking complexity and roundness (a little young). Dry grapes.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
3 let zrání. S 7,0 z 10 jde o dobrý, i když ne výjimečný rum.

Review by Matiss
Solid, nice,pleasent to drink not much complexity becouse the barrel influence is noticeable and dominates other flavors, nonetheless a reasonably priced sipper.
Review by Morgan Garet
Fresh, with a nose of cane and lemon, the palate is dominated by dried fruit and lemon, finishing on a light woody note.
Review by Henry Davies
Surprisingly good for a three year which was expecting to be a mixing rhum. Toffee oak and vanilla are the overwhelming notes on the tongue, enjoyable nose, when mixed the Agricole notes really come to life with more vegetal aspects and a clean finish
Review by Ma_Lau
nose in harmony with mouth. round, gourmand nose. drier mouth with a lovely vegetal cane finish.
