Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Today we did a widespread tasting with very different rums.
Review by Filip Heimerle
It's better than 4y and 8y but still not a very good agricola. There are much better rums
Review by Joachim Guger
A deep golden color.A very nice nose, dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla. Balanced and melted - as the French would say - not very complex.In the mouth it continues similarly.Great flavor profile, very good rum. The 43% alone prevents higher consecrations. Highly recommended (at the price).The reading material to go with it: Greene's "The hour of the comedians".This was the best - and cheapest - rum in the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj.
Review by Jacques etdom
Decent rum. It smells of cane, but there's no complexity. I even find the price-quality ratio a little high, as you can find much more interesting rums at this price.
Review by EUDIER Vincent
This “Rhum agricole” is really nice. Want to discover an interesting aged rhum, well made, accessible and at good price tag: this is my bet.
Review by Morgan Garet
A good rum for gently introducing pure juices, but it is either over-reduced or badly reduced, so lacking in character and depth.
Review by Todd Craig
What was to be desired in the 8 year is completed in the 15. Rounds off the edges with the aging and creats a more rounded profile with a short but sure oak finish. Notes of Vanilla and spice and a leather nose.
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
A lovely expression of Barbancourt that retains a lot of the specific cane syrup notes (buckwheat, maple, grass) wile integrating mild wood over its aging—primarily in the form of a cinnamon-ginger forward spice. Falls a bit short on complexity and duration of finish.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Love this rum, excellent price. Don't notice major differences between this one and the 8 years, which I love as well. This might be a little woodier and at first, the impression tastes just like a very good molasses column still rum, then after a few seconds, it comes the Agricole style flavor profile which remains very prolonged on the palate.
Review by Maxence
Nice profile but lacks complexity and alcohol integration could have been better. Still a good quality / price ratio.
Review by Stefan L
Better than expected.
Review by Stefan Persson
Surprisingly good, better than expected. The nose is fruity and spicy with additional aroma of leather. At the palate it’s very spicy and intense but also woody and with additional flavor of leather and licorice.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the Lucerne Gin and Rum Festival 2024. A sweet, intense nose with vegetal, roots, dried fruit, caramel and bitterness. Marked bitterness on the palate with woody/vanilla, dried fruit, caramel and licorice. The finish is marked by bitterness and an afterglow of sugar. A much more interesting rum than the 4 and especially the 8 ans.
Review by Timpa 🇸🇪
Smooth, a touch of vanliga and oak, not a typical Haiti but in a good way.
Review by Clement Mougel
A restrained aromatic palette, but a good rum nonetheless.
