Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I wouldn't say this is a watered down rum, but it's extremely well balanced and well rounded and in a tasting this should take spot one. Fruity and nice wood well balanced with spices. The alcohol is barely noticed.
Review by Jakob
Great complexity. As usual for the Flibuste bottlings with a rich sweetness full of vanilla sugar, chocolate and hazelnut. In addition, pointed spicy aromas, wood influence, opulent fruit notes of cherry and dried fruit; a great compote of multi-layered, yet harmonious flavors, which has a lot of sweetness. Delicious!

It's round, it's good. I like it a lot.
Review by Gyuli
Aroma: grassy, hay, leather, rubbery. No alcohol buzz. The nose is grassy, and in the second glass, the sourness of the plum among the nuts is felt. A green fruit decoction. Complexity. There are some esters, but the grassy flavors overpower them. The aroma explodes in a way that belies the 40 proof. Taste: Same as in the aroma: hay, grass, leather, etc. It's complex, but clean and neat. Good balance, except for the lack of intensity. Very slightly sweet. The finish is funky. The oak is buried in the other flavors and there's a hint of green grapes. My friend who shared it with me detected a hint of green juice. Mouthfeel: Very smooth, almost as if there is no alcohol. The tropical fruit comes through only at the end. The flavor is consistent with the aroma and taste, and follows cleanly through the finish. The grassy finish is very long. It is dry, tannic, salivating, and has a sweet nuance.
Review by Jarek
I've always wanted to try a Flibuste and have now got myself a sample. The nose is very tasty. Sweet, fruity, woody, spicy and with a clear Agricole character. On the palate, chocolate and slightly peppery. Overall, however, the taste does not quite live up to the promise of the nose. A few percent more would suit the rum well. The finish is nice and long, with grassy notes at the very end. Nose towards 9, palate a little over 8. Good overall, but not outstanding.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Based on a sample. Hits me with a musty smell, strong cognac influence, then prunes and licerice, for me even more so in taste. Quite complex.
Review by Émile Shevek
Long, deep, intense, a plunge into the Caribbean amidst the dusky, rich atmospheres, peaty, woody, dry notes, a distant note of savoriness and an aromatic taste that distinguishes the products of this distillery. The agricultural par excellence!
