Surprising thing first: at just 43% this aged Martinique agricole packs way more punch than the number suggests — one taster called it "surprisingly flavor-intense." Expect wood, herbs and dried fruit up front, then pepper, licorice, a grassy-green streak and a menthol coolness that lingers. Dry and spicy on the palate, not sweet. A well-made, balanced vieux agricole that rewards a little attention.
The community says- Balanced, spicy nose
- Grassy herbal depth
- But: Alcohol slightly unintegrated

Beautiful, balanced nose. Wood, spice and dried fruit. Grassy and some menthol balance. The palate continues in a similar way, very spicy and powerful despite the 43%. A very well-crafted agricole. The profile is strongly reminiscent of Saint James.

Nice and peppery, with a hint of baked apple, followed by a dry and spicy woody taste, slightly sour and a hint of lavender and bitter cocoa.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
With a medium to long finish this is also a very pleasant rum. Fruity with spices and honey sprinkled with some chocolate and nuts.

D'après mes vieilles notes succintes j'avais écrit : epices réglisse boisé et végétal. Puis j'avais ajouté : un bon Bally, mérite bien son 80 😁
Review by Pascal Gwada
Vraiment bon, Doux et facile à boire à 43°. Très accessible et agréable. Nez enjôleur pâtissier complexe, doux, fruits confits, caramel, alcool très discret. Bouche alcool plus présent mais toujours très doux, boisé, cuir, épices, empyreumatique, gras en fin de bouche. Longueur moyenne sur le bois et les épices. 2025: en aveugle : sur les mêmes impressions que la première fois. Nez excellent, Alcool + présent en bouche, bonne longueur, de la consistance. Je monte la note de 7.8 à un 8.2, il ne lui manque qu'une meilleure intégration de l'alcool en bouche, mais la longueur rattrape ce petit manque avec des saveurs successives chaudes et flatteuses. Mais surtout, quel nez ! Reprise plusieurs mois plus tard : il faut vraiment le laisser s'aérer pour faire passer la présence de l'alcool et là, quelle gourmandise en bouche... Sur le torréfié, café, moka, gras, épices, tabac, bois sombre. Tout cela tapisse la langue pour une longueur moyenne+ et très appréciable. Je passe ma note 8.2 à 9, sans hésiter, seule la longueur manque un peu de tenue.
Review by HenryL
Dried herbs and some red apple on the nose. On the palate also herbal, some jammy sweetness (maybe apricot) and a pleasant mint note that lingers long in the finish. I like it and for 43% surprisingly intense in flavor.
Review by Kieron Wood
I wasn't an agircole fan when originally Tasting this but firmlybelieve this is the best one I have tasted .... Incredible depth of flavour of grassy olive flavours
