Aroma visualization from community tastings
Trois Rivières 1986
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.
The community says- Balanced and round
- Creamy at 45%
- But: Short finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Trois Rivières 1986 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
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 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 Jakob
Ziemlich weit vorne in der verkosteten Runde aus den 70er und 80er Jahrgangsabfüllungen. Sehr rund, null alkoholische Schärfe, komplex, dazu mit einer wunderbaren dezenten Süsse. Die Süsse bleibt während dem Trinken immer präsent, ohne zu überlagern, die übrigen Aromen spielen sich gelungen den Ball zu…das macht einfach sehr viel Spass!
Review by Buddudharma
Wunderbarer Old-School Agricole, toll ausbalanciert und trotz der nur 45% mit schön cremigem Mundgefühl. Ein klasse Rum, in Fasstärke wäre das sicher ein absoluter Traum.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso affascinante e cremoso con legno, frutti secchi misti, altri rossi e gialli, fiorito, qualche spezia delicata e nello sfondo una lieve dolcezza ad arrotondare il tutto. Al palato è morbido e delicato avvolto di dolcezza cremosa e fiorita, legno finemente tostato, noce di cocco, frutti secchi, agrumi e un po' di pepe . Il finale purtroppo è corto ed effimero. Oscilla tra 8.6 e 8.7
Review by Lawich Lowaine
Très bon vieux rhum martiniquais. Très doux et assez complexe pour mériter une belle note. Un petit voyage dans le passé plaisant.
