A curious-explorer agricole that’s easy to approach: 9 years of oak at 43% bring dry wood, vanilla, caramel, nuts and citrusy cane notes. RumX members praise it as a very fair‑priced everyday XO sipper.

Review by Stefan Persson
It’s a great Rhum, but it don’t reaches the level of the precursor, the XO Hors d’Age Grenadier. The nose is aromatic and fruity with aromas of vanilla. At the palate it’s complex, round, sweet, woody and spicy with flavors of vanilla and cinnamon.

Heureusement qu'elle n'est pas chère.... Peut-être le pire XO en agricole que j'ai bu.
Review by Tim
Great Agricole as a starter or for relaxed enjoyment. Harmonious on the nose: woody, spicy, caramel, chocolate, fruity. Intense enough on the palate, balanced and easy to drink. Delicious roasted aromas are added on the finish, with barrel notes prevailing for a long time.

Irgendwie hab ich ne leichte Fehlnote im Mund. Ansonsten recht unspektakulär
Review by Joachim Guger
Spirits circus 24.05.2024 Very similar in taste profile to the Brut de Fut 2013. A little less powerful, of course. Great for the price, can be recommended to any beginner.
Review by Andi
Sehr zugänglicher Rhum Agricole. Süßlich, frisch, fruchtig und etwas holz.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A perfectly decent entry-level Dillon. The nose is concentrated with agricultural and earthy notes, spices, wood, caramel and a hint of fruit. Relatively soft on the palate, this Dillon nevertheless offers a fine balance of fruit, spice and caramel. The finish, with the same tonalities, is moderately long. The 9 years of ageing have produced a well-balanced, controlled rum at a very affordable price. An excellent introduction to the world of agriculture.

Schön fruchtiger Agricole. Gefällt mir gut, vor allem bei dem Preis.
Review by TheJackDrop
Un très bon XO sûrement sous-côté ! Je comprends bien la médaille d’or au concours agricole, c’est équilibré mais il y a du caractère: pas mal de bois, de fruits, d’épices. Finalement moyenne mais satisfaisante !

#5036 08.01.2025 Enjoying a few samples at home. Nose Light wood, spice, plums, dried fruit, sugarcane, light earthy, cinnamon, faint nutts. Palate Light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light tannins, medium spicy, vanilla, faint mint, dried fruits. Finish Medium long, round, wood, cinnamon, light tannins, spice, light sugarcane. The empty glass has wood, light tobacco, light cherry and some vegetal notes. Price to quality it pretty good in my mind.

Guter solider Agricole. Ich bevorzuge jedoch bei weitem den XO 12 yo
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relaxed Agricole xo but overall quite unspectacular. The Depaz XO brings more to the table here!
Review by André Jänen
War mir erst zu scharf, dann sehr fruchtig im Nachgang. Wurde dann sehr interessant und mit jedem Schluck besser.
Review by R Wehner
Nase sehr würziger, typischer Agricole; Zunge ähnlich, sehr kräftig, fast wie ne Agricole-Bourbon-Mischung, langer Abgang, gut, PLV günstig
Review by Pascal Gwada
Avent 2023 n10. Un bon rhum boisé dans le moka café bois et un peu de vanille. Consistant rond et doux. Bonne longueur, simplement dans mes bons goûts sans casser des briques. Donc surtout un très bon rapport qualité-prix à 38€
