Juste un des meilleurs...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very accessible Agricole and I think most Ca actually drink it. The Agricole flavours are very subtle. Lightly fruity with spices and some chocolate and toddee. I noticed that after a few hours the glass had a wonderful nose.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Blindtasting 01.02.2024, 3. Rum Nase: sehr angenehm, warm, Kirsche, mild, tief - ein Agricole? Gaumen: grasig, leicht, fällt gegenüber dem guten Eindruck in der Nase etwas ab Auflösung: Immerhin richtig, Agricole. Gibt aber deutlich bessere. Johannes hatte hier bei der Blindverkostung sogar auf La Favorite getippt, was angesichts der schier unübersehbaren Auswahl an Agricoles schon sehr bemerkenswert ist.
Review by Timo Groeger
Gute Nase, guter Gaumen. Relativ süss, aber das schmeckt man nicht raus. Der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden. Echt ein leckerer Rum mit leichter Vanillenote. So ist es, liebt ihn oder hasst ihn :) Ich liebe ihn.
Review by Andi
Ich bekam Ihn bei einem Blind Tasting serviert und hätte auf einen jungen Agricole getippt. Sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen wirkt er sehr frisch und grasig. Was eigentlich eher jüngere Agricoles aufweisen. Eine leichte süße und würzige Noten waren auch sehr präsent.
Review by Johannes
Schmeckt jung, grasig, hätte ich deutlich jünger geschätzt.
Review by Agricoler
Tag 19 Sample de Luxe Kalender: sehr leckerer Agricole. Vorallem die Nase weiß zu überzeugen. Nase sehr fruchtig was im Mund verloren geht. Trotzdem auch im Mund klassische Kräutertee Noten inkl. Ordentlich Gewürz und Holz. Abgang bleibt leich peffrig und grasig
Review by Maxime Leclerc 🇨🇵
I'm a fan of La Favorite but the quality is not there. It's good but the quality-price ratio is not.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez : poire et de la cerise aigre/porto plutôt désagréable Bouche : légère sur la vanille et un profil herbacé Finale : sur le poivre mentholé mais pas suffisamment longue pour un rhum de ce calibre Cette réserve du château 2002-2020 est plutôt décevante. Nez pas très attrayant, bouche trop légère et finale pas suffisamment longue. Au vu de son prix, c’est frustrant.
