Dillon Réserve du Comte Arthur Dillon VSOP
Sip it neat and you get vanilla up front, then oak, a little coconut and a whiff of smoke underneath. It's an aged Martinique agricole that leans soft and woody rather than grassy — one French taster called it "la bonne surprise," expecting little and finding pineapple-ish fruit alongside the wood. Easygoing, a touch molasses-like on the finish, nothing that fights you.
- Clear vanilla
- Smooth at 43%

How does Dillon Réserve du Comte Arthur Dillon VSOP taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Soft, vanilla-and-oak aged agricole Most people find it a pleasant, well-made aged agricole — vanilla and oak with a bit of smoke and fruit. Light in body and short on the finish, so don't expect a big bold pour.

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The 5yo Dillon VSOP Reserve du Comte Arthur Dillon have been replaced by a bottle named just VSOP in their new range.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 .

Best Lekker. Pittig. Heel molassige nasmaak.
