Review by Lukas Jäger
Wow, ein außergewöhnlicher Agricole aus Martinique. Anders, als alles was ich bisher von dort kannte. Nicht typisch erdig-grasig, etwas fruchtiger und fast schon dreckig-süß. Und nur 42 Flaschen. Ein paar Prozent mehr hätten ihm wohl trotzdem gut getan. Vielleicht muss ich in Zukunft öfter mal den ein oder anderen Clement probieren..
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Jalapeno/bacon/cheese/brioche sesame burger or Burger King chili cheese burger in liquid form. Fat!
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Smells and tastes savory. Chili both on the nose and on the palate. Woody, spicy, grassy. Rather little fruit. Very interesting.
Review by Stylo
Very niche bottling for Distillerie Du Simon..as far as I can tell, it’s really an unusual expression for a Martinique rum..you surely get vegetal and mildly grassy notes, although these are quickly covered by chili, green pepper and woody, with a touch of underripe banana and mango. On the palate, these flavors evolve into more complex notes, like cola and smoke. Truly unexpected
Review by Oliver
Smells like a chili cheeseburger from Burger King! 🤯
Review by mto75
The typical Agricole notes recede into the background here in favor of spices, roasted aromas and a certain spiciness, which is not unpleasant, however.
Review by tojo
Surprisingly fruity for an Agricole.
