RumX advent Calendar - day 19 The kind of agricole I love, well balanced and tasty, despite ABV is low. In this rum, sugarcane and wood melts perfectly, with nice chocolate and cacao notes. This would be a great daily dram if it's price wasn't that high

Ein Agricole aus der Kategorie "gefällig". Bleibt durch den geringen Abv nicht so lange weiß aber zu gefallen das man einfach gern nochmals dran nippt. Schöne Balance

RumX-Adventskalender 19.12.2023 Blind tasting: This rhum looked familiar to me. With , because I thought it was an Agricole from Martinique, namely RX1229. After all, I was exactly right with my estimate of the ABV. 😉

RumX Kalender Tag 19: Gefälliger Agricole, der sich mit der niedrigen abv gut als Sipper eignet. Schön rund ohne Ecken & Kanten, aber auch nichts herausragendes.
Review by Lot-NAS
Calendar #19 / blind Hätte ein J. Bally 14 o.ä. sein können. Insgesamt ganz nett und stimmig aber auch wenig komplex. Wohl eher was fürs Regal, als für den Gaumen.

Review by zabo
RumX Kalender Tag 19 Alles in allem ein sehr netter St.James. Im Vergleich zu den anderen St.James fehlt mir hier ein bißchen der Wumms. Eher der easy Sipper, der im Nachgang schnell verfliegt, dass ihn kurz vor der 8 scheitern lässt.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Catching up with missed class calendar days from December, after a month of a break. Quite relaxed Agricole, quite simple, alcohol not integrated too well. However overall impression quite pleasant, I've been warming up to Agricoles recently.
Review by Vincent D
Un nez très agricole avec du raisin sec, un boisé caractère risque. Assez décevant en bouche. Pas assez puissant et un cote vineux qui ne me plaît pas. Longueur moyenne sans grosse évolution. St James a fait bien mieux.
Review by Rare Akuma
#24DaysOfRum2023 - Day 19 On the nose a sweet and vibrant aroma of fruits, nougat and grasses. Additionally it has wonderful evolution over time. It jumpstarts with berries, red rhubarb and grapefruit juice, before redefining itself sweeter with dried apricots and nougat. Eventually it gets spicier, grassier and lightly complex with camomile and clay notes. The aroma shows no restraint, yet certain elegance as it tip-toes between a multitude of flavours. Just like other tasters noted, I agree, the nose is much like cognac. I could smell this for hours. Less fruity and much more vegetal on the palate. Opens with blue grapes, rhubarb and grass. Then nougat and more minerality. It’s nice, fresh and cool, but unfortunately inefficiently diluted. It’s become too thin; its presence has become too volatile and its body has lost all power. What a shame. As a result the finish is short, uneventful and underly complex. The nose set the bar really -really!- high, but the palate made the price nothing short of insanity.
Review by Mentalo
Dieser Agricole mit seiner leichten Nussigkeit erinnert mich an die Ballys. Ist mir aber leider deutlich zu wässrig.
Review by Michal S
Nic extra. Vůně slibuje ovoce a koňak, ale chuť je hodně plytká a rychle mizí.
Review by Buddudharma
RumX Adventskalender 19.12.23: Es geht nach Martinique. Das Profil ist unverkennbar Agricole, die ABV jedoch relativ reduziert, in jedem Fall <50%. Alter würde ich irgendwo bei 10-15 Jahre tippen. Genaue Destillerie-Zuordnung fällt schwer, da der Rum nicht sehr markant ist. Neisson denke ich eher nicht, ich würde eher Richtung Depaz oder Trois Rivières gehen, wenngleich das Eis hier schon recht dünn wird. In jedem Fall ist mir der Rum zu wässrig im Mundgefühl und nicht prägnant genug, um eine sehr gute Bewertung zu rechtfertigen.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Advent 19.12.2023 Knuspriger Agricole mit typischen St. James Makern, wenn man es es weiss zumindest 😅 er ist gefällig aber insgesamt ist und wirkt er zu dünn für mich. Abgang ist dafür lecker und hält angenehm lange an.
