Nearly everyone who's tried this old Trois Rivières lands in the same happy place, though a couple find it a touch too mellow to be thrilling. Distilled in 1980 from cane juice, it's a calm, layered agricole: red fruit, toasted wood, chocolate and hazelnut, vanilla and dried fig, with a soft floral lift and a finish several call very long. A quiet, mature rum rather than a loud one.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great rum and the price to quality is very good in my mind. The nose is fruity with wood, nuts and vanilla with trailing caramel and a nice floral note. The palate has toasted wood and fruit trailed by vanilla, licorice and chocolate. There is also a hint of menthol in there. The chocolate and fruits become very clear in the empty glass. The finish is long and has wood, chocolate and raisin with trailing vanilla.
Review by TheRhumhoe
An extraordinary Trois Rivières with a very complete and successful profile. On the nose, red fruits and dried fruits, honeyed notes and sugar cane, sweet pastry notes with hazelnuts and almonds, followed by more floral, grassy and spicy aromas. But it's the woody notes that stand out for their incredible finesse. This finesse is echoed on the palate with a varied, expressive yet very elegant profile featuring mocha, dark chocolate, toffee, but also sweet spices, exquisite fine woodiness and subtle fruity notes. The finish is long and delicious. An extraordinary rum, a true Martinique unicorn.
Review by Skyfly
Super complex rum that still offers a great price-performance ratio for this outstanding quality. On the nose, besides the typical markers, cherry and mint. Also on the palate, pleasant mint that harmonizes wonderfully with spices and dried fruits. Finish super relaxed, harmonious, and long!
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Quite balanced overall, with a bit of everything, from toasted wood and chocolate notes to fruit and light spices. It misses a more pronounced profile for me, with a more mellow feel, though makes it an enjoyable sipper. Alcohol integration quite good but not spectacular. Overall happy to have this bottle and to be able to come back to it from time to time
Review by Joachim Guger
Very deep color. Super good nose! Fruit, wood, tobacco, earth, cherry. Complex!!! Good!!! Super good!!! In the mouth it continues similarly. Medium-long finish. Very good Agricole. Complex, easy to drink and demanding.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
A look back at a fine sample from the past: Trois Rivières 1980 Plantation Trois-Rivières is one of the oldest in Martinique. Its emblematic name comes from the three rivers bordering its hectares of cane fields: Oman, Bois d'Inde and Saint Pierre. As a reminder, the Trois-Rivières distillation columns were moved to the current La Mauny site in 2004, just after the closure of the former Trois-Rivières distillery in Ste-Luce. The latter produces vintage agricultural rums from 1953 to the present day. Here, we're talking about a rum distilled in 1980, aged for 10 years under the Martinique sun, and bottled at 45%. This cuvée has an attractive copper color. The nose is incredibly intense and expressive. It's driven by red fruits, with a hint of toasted dried fruit. See varnish, quite disconcerting and bewitching. Very seductive and fragrant. A particularly warm, fruity nose. Quite impressive. On the palate, the attack is smooth, with perfectly balanced integration. A lovely bouquet of candied fruit. Not to mention a suave empyreumatic profile (mocha-toasted). The interminable vanilla/coconut finish is unexpectedly greedy. This is clearly a monument of the distillery, whose nose and interminable finish will remain engraved in my memory. I can only thank Cedric for sharing this sample (and photo).
Review by Mirco
Old Trois Rivières with classic, calm Agricole profile. On the nose dried herbs, tea, some honey and old wood. On the palate dry, balanced and surprisingly complex with hazelnut, spices, leather, fine sweetness and a slightly bitter woody note. Despite dilution, the rum feels round and complex, well structured and by no means flat. Not a loud rum, but a very coherent, mature Agricole with depth and character.
Review by Leo Krüper
Light, pleasant Agricole. The old profile is floral, as expected, but also slightly soapy or oily. Nice easy sipper.
Review by Alessandro
Very complex rum, surely its history preceded it and created expectations well rewarded for me. Notes of wood, chocolate, fruits, vanilla both on the nose and taste, in short a bit of everything.
Review by Jakob
Very round profile with a wide range of aromas - red fruits harmonize with the familiar barrel and spicy notes, plus some fresh herbs and whole light, sour yoghurt notes.
Review by Carlitooo
A great rhum that becomes more and more complex in the mouth until it ends in an incredible finish. Consistently awesome from front to back!
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is somewhat roasted with chocolate, tobacco, forest and sugarcane. On the palate there are hazelnuts, gianduja, dried fruits (dates/ figs), a soft caramel sweetness, a hint of pepper, licorice and a woody finesse on the side that gradually increases. After resting, the roasted notes return and more floral violet notes emerge. The finish is delicate, what a delight!
