Review by Stefan Persson
It’s a blend of three-to-four-year old rum aged in American oak bourbon barrels It’s quite young and that’s noticeable when it’s coming to the deep in the rum and the powerfulness. Overall I’m getting a little of a whisky feeling, but that’s not bad. I think it’s quite good for being so young.

There is no doubt that this was finished aiming a bit for a bourbon/whisky lover. Fruity and fresh with smoky wood. Definitely a rum for whisky lovers. For the price a very good rum.
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Meine Erwartungshaltungen wurden nicht so ganz erfüllt. Man schmeckt die Fasslagerung raus und die typische Agricole Süße fehlt irgendwie im Gesamten. Die Gewürzenote ist recht ausgeglichen wodurch die klare Fruchtigkeit fehlt, was aber auch nicht wirklich verwundert kommt ja aus dem Hause HSE 😀
Review by Vincent D
Rapport qualité-prix intéressant. C'est trop réduit et très dilué. Mais il reste une trame boisée et vanille super agréable et mille fois meilleure que n'importe quel boisson spiritueuse ersatz de rhum type Don Papa. Édit : testé en apéro et première impression confirmée. Étonnement sucré quand même.

RumX Advent calendar, 15.12., blind: First impression: Agricole, quite clear, but was very diluted. I'm not going to like it. That's how it actually is. I had already tasted it at the Agricole tasting, 10th GRF, Berlin. There: "It's nothing at all, diluted, tastes artificially flavored... Not for the feint-hearted" Nose: freshly squeezed apple juice at the very beginning, slightly perfumed, dusty dry, old wooden floorboards, but also a slight sweetness with tangerine, vanilla and tobacco. Palate: thin and watered down, some sweet licorice. Slightly tart, herbal, freshly cut branches, watered down sugar syrup. Caraway, cap and aniseed on the finish. Old right flat. A great pity.
Review by Tim
Sehr guter Einsteigerrum in die Agricolewelt. In vielerlei Hinsicht ausreichend angenehme und runde Aromen, die ein leckeres Erlebnis bereiten.
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas #15, blind: Very first scent reminded me of Barbados (vanilla, bourbon), but then the agricole profile opened up with the fresh, grassy en vegetal notes. Alcohol is either not that high or integrated very well, but I would guess around 45%. Bittersweet woody finish. Said it before, so why not again: Saint-James? 😜 Feels a bit watered down, but a nice starter agricole. I think it would make a nice addition in a Mai Tai.

Very soft (watered down, maybe) rum. Pleasant to drink Alcohol is intergrated very well. Nose: sugarcane, vanilla, grass, roasted, vegetal, agricole, sweet, woody Mouth: Dry, soft, light, grass, agricole, earthy, roasted, smoky, vanilla, oak, caramel Finish: short, dry, light, minty, fresh, oak, smoky, nutty, tannins
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Tag 15 RumX Adventskalender: Nase: grasig, kräuterig, aber auch irgendwie fruchtig, Richtung Rotwein. Gaumen: ähnlich der Nase, aber ist da überhaupt Alkohol drin? Wirkt für mich deutlich verdünnt. Mein (richtiger) Tipp: verdünnter Agricole. Nicht schlecht, aber deutlich zu wässrig, weswegen schlicht Körper fehlt.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Adventskalender 15.12.21: in der Nase hat ich keinen Hinweis auf einen Agricole Rum. Im Mund dan unverkennbar. Ich kann die unterschiedlichen Profile der Agricole Destillerien einfach nicht auseinander halten bzw. erkennen. Dieser ist ist sehr dünn. Dennoch bin ich überrascht, wie dennoch eine schöne Komplexität rüberkommt. Sicherlich ein guter Einsteiger

RumX Adventskalender 2021 Tag 15 Sehr wässrig und schwach ... Florale Noten... Absolut nicht meins ...
Review by tojo
Der HSE ist bislang leider das schwächste Sample im RX-Kalender. Heftige Noten von Gras, Pflanze und Holz an der Nase. Am Gaumen eher leicht und holziger Einschlag, Leder, Frucht auch eine leichte Süße von Honig. Somit schafft er gerade so das „gut“.
Review by Mike H.
Too much reduction resulted in a very watery agricole. A little wood, vanilla and vegetable both in nose and mouth. Not really great.

Review by Christoph
Hier glaubt man wirklich zunächst Bourbon zu trinken, erkennt nach einer Weile im Glas dann aber doch wieder (im positiven) typische HSE Noten. Eine nette Abwechslung zum „Standard“ HSE 55 den ich sonst im Ti-Punch verwende.
