Dried apricot and cherry lead the way here, wrapped in vanilla, cinnamon and a light oak backbone. What surprised several tasters is how fruity the nose is for an agricole — one Danish member called it extremely fruity. The palate turns drier and grassier, classic agricole territory, with a faint salty edge. A well-aged Martinique cane-juice rum for people who already know the style.
The community says- Very fruity nose

How does HSE Single Cask (MEB 2020) 2003 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Fruity-nosed, dry, grassy aged agricole Loved by agricole fans for its unusually fruity nose and dried-fruit palate. The catch: at 47.8% a few found the alcohol a touch too present, and it turns quite dry and grassy.

Review by RumTaTa
Third tasting: score remains constant, on the palate nice fruity notes (cherry and plum)Second tasting: today seems to me the nose with sweet and floral notes, very nice ( 2)!Solid Agricole rum but no surprise. On the palate quite alcoholic despite only just under 48% and slightly bitter but not unpleasant.Finish only medium length and strongly on the toasty side.
Review by Thunderbird
Rarely experienced such a wonderful fruity nose in an Agricole! The palate is clearly dried fruit and herbaceous grassy! He comes along pleasantly light, the finish is then typical Agricole grassy and herbal
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The big surprise with this rum was how fruity it was on the nose. For an Agricole I'd say extremely fruity. Overall a well balanced Agricole that is easy drinkable with and overall nice profile.

Superb 2003 version
Review by Gregor
Delicious nose: cherry tart, cinnamon, vanilla, very slightly salty. Palate: sweet, black cherries, nutmeg, slightly salty, alcohol well integrated but still unfortunately a bit too present for me at 47.8%.
Review by RumRhush
Superb agricole at a very reasonable price
Review by Carlitooo
I haven't had a 2003 Single Cask in the glass for a long time. They are really delicious. If you like long-aged Rhum Agricoles, you'll get your money's worth here.
