Domaine de Séverin Vieux 4 Years

Sipped neat, this drinks grassy and vegetal with cinnamon, oak and a faint vanilla in the background — a couple of tasters even said it edges toward grappa. There's some plum and fruit, a caramel touch, then a woody, coffee-ish finish. At 42% it's a gentle way into agricole. Reactions are mixed: some found it fruity and easy, others just not their thing.

The community says
  • Gentle agricole intro
  • But: Divisive character
  • But: Grappa-like edge

How does Domaine de Séverin Vieux 4 Years taste?

Summarized by AI from 26 community reviews.

Grassy, mild agricole with a grappa edge Splits the room. A few liked the fruity, grassy profile as a soft agricole intro; others found it odd, near-grappa, and not for them. One wished for a higher-proof Séverin.

Perfect for

People easing into agricole who want it grassy but not overwhelming

Less suitable for

4.4/10

24 days of rum, day 13... for me very vegetal on the nose with spicy accents and some sharpness. Vanilla somewhere far in the background. From the taste I get a bit of plums or grapes, reminds me a bit of grappa. The tasting notes from the website (citrus, honey, tropical fruit, caramel, banana) I don't get at all. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that seems to me the description of another drink than the one in this bottle. In the finish something reminds me of corn straight from the cob 🤷‍♂️ Weird drink, not really my thing.

For me it just doesn’t work at all. But that’s on me, absolutely not my thing.
