Review by Rum N Cigar
Une explosion de saveurs en bouche ! Un rhum puissant et équilibré qui devient de plus en plus agréable à chaque gorgée. Un délice !
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was the last rum during our trip to Amsterdam and it was also really good. Price to quality is very good in my mind. The nose is fresh and fruity with wood, cane, caramel and and spices. The palate is balanced and oily with fruits, roasted wood, spices, cane, nuts and light notes of grass. The finish is medium long with wood, tropical fruits, spices and light nutty notes.

Excellent. 😍
Review by Fabulon
Une vraie merveille ce Depaz ! Un nez sur les fruits et les épices, petit côté grillé, une bouche à tomber mêlant les fruits (noix, coco,fruits rouges), un boisé avec un chêne fin, des épices douces. La finale est assez longue sur les épices torréfiées, petit côté vanillé. Excellent !
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum brut de fût exubérant au nez, avec de nombreux arômes de fruits (fruits rouges, fruits jaunes, agrumes et fruits secs), des notes douces de canne à sucre, de caramel et de pâtisseries, une pointe de solvants et des notes de tabac, de chocolat et d’épices pour un ensemble très harmonieux, maîtrisé et délicieux. Le rhum est toutefois plus puissant une fois en bouche, avec une trame très épicée (muscade, vanille, poivre, clou de girofle, cannelle), rôtie, du cuir, du café, du chocolat noir et des fruits secs, pour un profil particulièrement sec et sombre. La finale, très longue, se prolonge sur des notes terreuses et de tabac, des épices, un fruité léger et une pointe de fraîcheur agréable. Un Depaz intense et complexe, malheureusement un peu trop clivant entre le nez et la bouche.

Pas fan de ce depaz BDF.. C'est puissant mais je trouve pas une bouche grandiose propre à cette distillerie..
