Aroma visualization from community tastings
Dillon Réserve du Comte Arthur Dillon VSOP
Sip it neat and you get an easygoing Martinique agricole: vanilla out front, oak and barrel underneath, a little pineapple and a touch of smoke. One French taster called it a nice surprise, expecting little and finding vanilla, wood and fruit. Light on its feet at 43%, with a short, fresh finish. Pleasant rather than deep, and fair for what it is.
The community says- Clear vanilla
- Light and drinkable
- But: Short finish

Easy vanilla-and-oak Martinique agricole Most find it a decent, well-made agricole — vanilla-and-oak led, lightly floral and smoky, with a short finish. Enjoyable and unfussy rather than something to analyze.

Review by Stefan Persson
The 5yo Dillon VSOP Reserve du Comte Arthur Dillon have been replaced by a bottle named just VSOP in their new range. It’s maybe the same Rhum, but it’s not confirmed. The one tasted by me is the old one.
Review by Timo Groeger
Nr. 24 des Adventskalender von La Route des Rhums. Ein solider Agricole. Würzige Nase, Vanille sticht heraus, außerdem etwas Fass. Am Gaumen dann neben dem Holz/Fass wieder reichlich Vanille, aber auch etwas Kokosnuss.
Review by TheJackDrop
La bonne surprise, Je n’en attendais pas grand chose mais honnêtement c’est vraiment sympa. On a de la vanille et du bois, mais également quelques fruits, peut être de l’ananas, et un petit fumé en complément: Cool.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Goûté en aveugle avec l'Avent 2024: S'il s'agit bien du 5 ans basique que j'ai goûté. Sympa, léger floral sans plus Nez frais et floral, Bouche identique, paraît légère en alcool, bien intégré. La longueur est courte et fraîche. Il m'a un peu fait penser à un Marsolle merisier ou un Damoiseau subprime 2008 en moins fruité .
