Dillon Rhum vieux agricole XO
Dry toasted oak leads, with sugarcane freshness, caramel softness and a run of cinnamon, vanilla and dried fruit underneath. This 9-year Martinique agricole from Dillon is easy-drinking and well-balanced, though several tasters call it mild and a bit unspectacular — one wished for "higher voltage." Most agree the value is where it really shines.
The community says- Balanced and easy
- Toasty oak spice
- But: A bit soft

How does Dillon Rhum vieux agricole XO taste?
Aggregated from 80 community reviews.
Mild, woody Martinique agricole, great value Well-liked as a gentle, woody agricole with real value. Many find it balanced and easy; the recurring gripe is that it's too soft and a touch flat for the style.

Review by Fasen
C'est bien marqué par le fût pour le prix ! Se qui marque en premier c'est ce jolie boisé sec ( Toasté ) qui tire sur le Cognac en nous amenant des épices plutôt douces ( Cannelle / Vanille / Réglisse / Poivre ) avec des fruits sec, tropicaux et du verger ( Abricot / Pomme / Raisins / Pruneaux / Coco / Mangue ) ainsi qu'une petite gourmandise ( Pâtissier / Pain d'épices / Pomme caramélisées / Mielleux ). Sous ce bois la canne est présente amenant avec elle sa fraîcheur ( Agrumes / Herbacé ). Rhum très bon rapport qualité prix.
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.

#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.
Review by ilRummista
Un rum discreto, purtroppo la parte alcolica al palato è un po’ troppo esuberante. Al naso è un po’ più sfumata. Ha dei sentori interessanti ma non è certamente il miglior rum agricolo che si possa bere. Certo il prezzo non può mon essere considerato. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è infatti buonissimo
Review by Rodolphe
Rapidement gouté sur le Rhumfest. Bon XO martiniquais à un prix vraiment sympa. Mais je pense que ce n'est pas ce que j'acheterais sur ce type de produit. Je mettrais une quinzaine d'euros de plus et j'irais chercher chez HSE ou La Mauny, plus dans mes goûts sur les XO.
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.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. A sweet nose with agricultural markers and fruit, but also soft caramel that brings a lot of sweetness. On the palate, citrus fruit, light oak, vegetal notes and a touch of sweetness.
Review by frankie
Heureusement qu'elle n'est pas chère.... Peut-être le pire XO en agricole que j'ai bu.
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€
Review by Timo Groeger
I don't like it that much, was expecting more. There is a slight vanilla and caramel note on the nose and palate. But I find it very agricole-like and has a strange, bitter aftertaste.
Review by Jean Louisss
Ce Dillon XO est plutôt plaisant et assez gourmand au nez, la bouche aussi dévoile une facette assez gourmande mais surtout très boisé. La trame du rhum agricole Martiniquais reste clairement identifiable.
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.
Review by Renato
Le nez est très fruité. La canne, le bois et les épices fortes arrivent en bouche. La finale est plus sombre. L'ensemble manque un peu d'harmonie.
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 Franzi
Sehr mild, für den Preis wirklich gut. Nichts aufregendes. Vanille und Karamell und dazu wirklich kaum alkoholischer Geschmack.
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 !
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relaxed Agricole xo but overall quite unspectacular. The Depaz XO brings more to the table here!
Review by Gd Flo
Nez sympa, finale longue et agréable. Facile à boire mais très classique et manque un peu de peps
Review by GuybrushThreepwood
Nase sehr angenehm, im Geschmack für mich etwas zu mild, nicht besonders ausdrucksstark.
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 Florent Bourgeois
Un très bon XO avec un rapport qualité prix exceptionnel. Que demander de plus.
Review by Andi
Sehr zugänglicher Rhum Agricole. Süßlich, frisch, fruchtig und etwas holz.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Schön fruchtiger Agricole. Gefällt mir gut, vor allem bei dem Preis.
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 Rado Vito
Higher voltage would be much better. This is too soft for this rum.
Review by Richard Krupa
Lehka lekorice a vanilka, ale takove ploche rychle
Review by Johannes
Fruitier and about rounder than the new 9-year-old.
Review by JFehr
Irgendwie hab ich ne leichte Fehlnote im Mund. Ansonsten recht unspektakulär
Review by Romain de L
Rum agricole, fresh and nice
Review by Ericsan28
Guter solider Agricole. Ich bevorzuge jedoch bei weitem den XO 12 yo
