Neat it splits the room: some get fresh cane, banana and a little floral-honey lift, others just find it sour and musty. On ice it settles, and it really finds its feet in a mixer — a "special" mojito or with cola. This is an unaged Mauritian cane-juice agricole at a punchy 50%, grassy and dry with a sharp acidity that not everyone loves.

Most helpful positive review
A very fruity smell, sugarcane, banana, slightly fermented, lightly floral and weakly alcoholic. The taste is also strong in sugarcane, fruity, the 50 percent alcohol is a bit more noticeable. A really well-balanced unaged Agricole.

Quite acidic, musty and unfortunately not my cup of tea. There's clearly better rums from Mauritius ... Probably the worst I had so far from Mauritius in the glass. Too bad
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Part of the tasting at the estate. This one is probably the best out of the whole set that I tried due to the reasonable 50% of strength, a maximum allowed on Mauritius. It is punchy with floral, earthy and fermentation notes. Some honey like sweetness.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Okay with Coke. But pure it doesn't go down my lips..
Review by Mc Pirate
Magnificent nose of fresh cane and mango, even exotic fruits. Magnificent nose. Palate is more straightforward, slightly alcoholic but with presence of fruits like apricot or peach. Finish on the fruit is more discreet.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Labourdonnais Original – 50% A Mauritian white agricole rum distilled from pure cane juice. Unfortunately, it does not hold up in comparison: the acidity dominates, and other whites, including from Mauritius, offer much more pleasure.
Review by Ane Steph
Typical white rum. For cocktails or arrangé.
Review by w00tAN
Interesting fresh Agricole, also excellent for a "special" Mojito.
Review by bankok
