Dillon Brut de colonne
Most tasters are genuinely surprised this hits 71.3% — the alcohol stays remarkably tame. Expect a fresh, grassy agricole nose of lime, flowers and hay, then an oily, almost creamy mouth with nutmeg, pepper and sugarcane. A few wish it were fruitier. Add a couple drops of water and, as one member put it, "a whole new world" opens up.
- Tames its 71%
- Fresh grassy agricole
- Oily creamy body

How does Dillon Brut de colonne taste?
Aggregated from 39 community reviews.
Grassy, floral agricole that hides its 71% Loved for hiding its strength so well — soft, floral and grassy with surprising sweetness at full proof. Some find it short and not quite fruity enough to score higher.

Review by Bernard Lobato
Perfect to start
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Brut de colonne rum that is as charming as it is deceptive. The nose shows a vegetal and floral freshness, with notes of olive, grass and hay. Sugar cane, pepper, citrus (lime), candied and fermented notes round out this very suave profile on the nose, which doesn't show the slightest aggression. The rum shows a greediness and a surprising roundness in mouth despite its 71,3%. The flavors, similar to the nose, remain homogeneous and propose a complete and balanced profile. The finish is both dry, slightly spicy and very fresh, floral and vegetal. A very good premium white rum

Perfect starter
Review by Martin Ekrt
The aroma is an excellent blend of citrus fruits, flowers and grassy notes. The first time I tasted this, I would have just written murder in the rating, but now and after warming up with Dillon 55%, a perfectly fine rum. Lots of nutmeg, sugar cane and citrus. Very dry and good rum. You need to drink to this one and give it a second chance eventually.
Review by Thunderbird
This rum is a positive surprise!A very intense fruity and herbal nose with some sour dough!On the palate it spreads oily creamy and intense! Initially fruity , then changing into the herbal (with slight spiciness and anise) 71.3% ....they are barely noticeable, great!The finish is then classic Agricole (grassy / hay / steppe)If you take into account here even the price... a clear buy recommendationAnd immediately there is a Ti Punch with it 😋
Review by Luca
Cross tasting Agricole Blanc. Nose: heavier and deeper than the Pére Labat, similar to the Saint James but where the latter offers banana, here you find more old vegetables/compost (not in a negative sense). Overall, however, clear agricole with predominantly sugar cane and cane sugar. Palate: in addition to the typical and here very intense Agricole notes, there is licorice, pepper, compost Clearly superior to the Pére Labat (the comparison is probably a little unfair 😉) but slightly behind the Saint James, as it is fruitier and more interesting due to the hazelnut note.

Velmi jemný agricole, chuť jde krásně do sladka, to ABV v něm není toli znát.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
not quite as complex and fat as the saint James brut de colonne but still incredibly tasty and easy to drink for 71.3%! reminds me somehow of sour red currants, plus red / pink pepper, nutmeg and lemon verbena..unfortunately, it is also gone again quickly otherwise the rating would have been higher!
Review by Buddudharma
Schöner BdC mit feiner natürlicher Süße, etwas Mineralik und gut eingebundenem Alkohol. Macht Spaß, lediglich die fast gänzlich fehlenden fruchtigen Noten verhindern eine noch bessere Bewertung.
