Review by Tim
Sehr guter Einsteigerrum in die Agricolewelt. In vielerlei Hinsicht ausreichend angenehme und runde Aromen, die ein leckeres Erlebnis bereiten.
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.
Review by Morgan Garet
Bon rhum de GS avec un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Bon rapport qualité / prix. Des notes de bourbon
Review by Oliver
Toller Einsteiger-Agricole. Riecht und schmeckt wie ein Bourbon.
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.

Une entrée de gamme efficace pour des cocktails

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 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.

Plus de goût que le Ragtime, plus boisé et meilleure finale. Pour les amateurs de bourbon
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.

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 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
