Review by Christian Rudt
Wunderbarer Tropfen im Kalender passend zum vierten Advent ein alter Schinken äh Agricole 😄 Gibt er sich an der Nase noch sehr zugeknöpft lösen sich am Gaumen die Aromen. Sehr rund, fruchtig, nussig, intensiv mit schönem trockenen Finish. Ein Genuss.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Advent 18.12.22 Glaube auch, dass es sich um einen alten Agricole handelt. ABV <45%. Der Rum ist sehr weich. Hat was von Cognac. Holz, würzig, Vanille, Zuckerrohr, pflanzlich frisch, leicht Honig, Pfirsich, gelbe Früchte, Trockenfrüchte, dezent rauchig. Der Rum hat ohne Zweifel Ausstrahlung. Ohne es zu wissen, waren sich in der Community alle einig, dass es sich um einen alten Agricole handelt. Finde das beeindruckend und definitv ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal für einen Rum, wenn das Geschmacksprofil so identifizierbar ist. Das gibt Zusatzpunkte. Geschmacklich top, aber nicht Oberliga.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è profumato di tabacco, nocciole, tostatura, legno, cioccolato, zucchero bruciato e qualche frutto. Al palato è gustoso con tabacco, cognac, datteri, fiori, erba, nocciole, legno e un po' di pepe. Nel medio finale fiorito, tostato e datteri dolci, in una cornice secca e vellutata. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e frutta secca
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a retaste and I still love it. Yesterday I got this one delivered and I just had to sample it once it was at normal temperature. The nose is typical Agricole with a lot of overripe fruits and a grassy note. There is some sugar there too. The palate is wonderful and an explosion of flavours. Again Agricole comes to mind with a lot of fruits. Slightly bitter with tobacco, smoke and oak and a hint of floral touch. The finish is medium to long, sweet with papaya and toasted oak.

#18th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: dried fruits, prunes, grass, flowery, honey, dark chocolate, mocha Mouth: dried fruits, tobacco, herbal, earthy, nougat, smoky, almond Finish: mid long, sweet caramel, woody, oak, smoky, toasted This is a nice old agricole for sure, with a great history. It was awesome to have the opportunity to taste this rum. The alcohol is integrated well. At the end i have to say, it’s good but not something special and even more the actual price tag. My prediction: This could be from J. Bally, again Martinique 🤪🤪 ca. 45% approx. 15 Years

RumX Adventskalender 18.12.22: Sehr edles, altes Destillat, gefällt mir gut. Etwas bessere Konsistenz und ein paar mehr Prozent hätten ihm gut getan, dennoch ein Privileg, Rums wie diesen trinken zu dürfen.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un vieux Clément d’un ancien temps et qui n’a pas perdu de sa superbe. Le nez se veut très fruité et épicé malgré son âge, le bois étant remarquablement bien intégré. Les arômes mielleux, de tabac, de chocolat et de fruits tropicaux se fondent à merveille dans un ensemble généreux et expressif. Malgré la dilution en bouche, on distingue un joli bouquet d’épices, des notes fumées et toastées, un chêne élégant, des notes sucrées (canne à sucre), des herbes, du tabac et du chocolat. La finale est longue mais moins expressive, portée par des saveurs épicées, du thé noir, du moka, des notes toastées et boisées. Un rhum très bien conservé pour son âge, équilibré et complexe. Il aurait été intéressant de voir un tel rhum avec un degré plus élevé.
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas 2022, #18, blind: Poured it. First impression after sniffing and a little sip: old agricole. Curious how it develops. Nutty accents in the nose, like Skeldon/Albion. Remarkable to experience this with an agricole.
Review by mto75
Very fine, delicate nose. First green vegetables, mocha, chocolate, and then in the background also subtle dried currants. On the palate toasty, caramel, and here then somehow also something old, which I can not quite pin down, direction 'old chest of drawers'. In the finish rather tart, with black tea and barrel.

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est magique avec des notes de fruits très mûrs et d’anis. C’est très gourmand. Je kiffe. En bouche c’est plus sec que ce que le nez ne le faisait penser. On a de la réglisse et du boisé. Une belle petite longueur. Néanmoins, j’avoue que le Ti’Punch au Toucan 60% juste avant cette petite douceur de 1970 n’a pas permis de le mettre plus en avant gustativement. Mais je retiendrai surtout ce nez très aromatique qui m’a fait pensé aux vieux Bielle que j’apprécie particulièrement
Review by Jakob
Ebenfalls ein sehr ansprechender, reifer Agricole-Rum mit angenehmer Trockenfruchtaromatik sowie elegantem Fasseinschlag. Entspannt zu trinken, ohne dass Langweile einkehrt.
Review by HenryL
RumX Adventskalender 18.12.: Nachdem ne Zeit lang ein Deckel auf dem Glas lag kam intensiver, rosiniger Sherry in die Nase. Das nahm mit der Zeit ab und machte etwas Platz für feine Eichennoten und gelbe Früchte. Sehr lecker, mir aber gerade angesichts des Preises zu zurückhaltend.
Review by Serge
Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender 22 Gut, aber – für mich – nicht der Top Agricole aus diesem Kalender.
