Isla del Ron Martinique 2005
Chili, green pepper and toasted wood hit first — one member swears it smells like a "Chili Cheeseburger," and several back that up. This is a 15-year Martinique agricole that skips the usual grassy-earthy script: a bit fruity (underripe banana, mango), savory and even a touch of smoke and cola on the palate. Genuinely unusual, and only 42 bottles exist.
The community says- Unusual chili-savory nose
- Fruity for agricole
- But: Could use more ABV

How does Isla del Ron Martinique 2005 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Savory, chili-spiced agricole that breaks the mold Most tasters call it surprising and love the savory chili-and-wood angle over classic agricole grass. A few wished for a couple more ABV points, but it lands well.

Smells and tastes savory. Chili both on the nose and on the palate. Woody, spicy, grassy. Rather little fruit. Very interesting.

Exciting rum!

Jalapeno/bacon/cheese/brioche sesame burger or Burger King chili cheese burger in liquid form. Fat!
Review by tojo
Surprisingly fruity for an Agricole.
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 Lukas Jäger
Wow, an exceptional Agricole from Martinique. Different from everything I knew from there so far. Not typically earthy-grassy, somewhat fruitier and almost dirt-sweet. And only 42 bottles. A few more percent would probably have done it good anyway. Maybe I have to try some Clement more often in the future..
Review by Jonas
Surprising thing. Rubber and smoke included. I like it!
