Anyone who loves old-school Martinique agricole will find a lot to like here. It's floral and fresh up front, with pineapple and orchard fruit giving way to fine oak, coconut, dried fruit and gentle cinnamon-pepper spice. Tasters note a light dryness balanced by a natural, understated sweetness, and a creamy mouthfeel that belies the modest 45%. The only real letdown is a finish that fades fast.

How does Trois Rivières 1986 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Balanced, fruity old-school Martinique agricole A well-balanced vintage agricole that drinks round and creamy with no alcohol bite. Fruity, woody and lightly spiced; the short finish is the one common gripe.

Review by cigares
Spirits Museum Tasting 29th of March 2025. A lively and fresh nose, vegetal with pineapple and other fruits. The palate is very fruity and more spicy than the nose, vanilla, pepper and mint. The wood is also more present. The finish is a bit short with fruits, wood and dry herbs.
Review by Jakob
Quite far ahead in the tasting round of 70s and 80s vintage bottlings. Very round, zero alcoholic sharpness, complex, with a wonderful subtle sweetness. The sweetness remains present throughout drinking without overpowering, the other aromas skillfully play off each other... this just makes a lot of fun!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another older tasting where I forgot to write down which bar in Copenhagen we tried it. Well balanced and fruity rum with nice wood and spices. Lightly dry on the palate but natural sweetness come sates for that. Noted that it's fresh and I like the floral notes.
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose fascinating and creamy with wood, mixed dried fruits, other red and yellow fruits, floral, some delicate spices and in the background a slight sweetness rounding it all off. On the palate it is soft and delicate wrapped in creamy and floral sweetness, finely toasted wood, coconut, dried fruits, citrus and a bit of pepper. Unfortunately, the finish is short and ephemeral. Oscillates between 8.6 and 8.7
Review by Buddudharma
Wonderful old-school agricole, wonderfully balanced and despite only 45% with a nice creamy mouthfeel. A great rum, at cask strength this would definitely be an absolute dream.
