Depaz CASK STRENGTH 2004

"Typical Depaz profile," as one member puts it — warm, woody and spicy, with black pepper leading the way. This is the roasted, oak-forward side of Martinique agricole: cedar, tobacco and candied fruit over a grassy base, with just enough vanilla and dried fruit for a hint of sweetness. At 58% it drinks astringent neat, so most reach for a few drops of water to let the fruit come through.

The community says
  • Cedar and tobacco
  • Peppery spice
  • But: Astringent neat

8.5/10

Al naso è intenso e accogliente con solventi leggeri, cioccolato al latte, pelle, tabacco, legno, vaniglia e qualche agrume. Al palato è ancora più intenso con spezie varie(pepe soprattutto), legno, tabacco, qualche nocciola e uvetta dolce sul finale persistente insieme ad una nota aspra/agrumata e alcolica(che ho ritrovato anche in altri Depaz). Lascia un retrogusto legnoso/sugheroso e nel bicchiere vuoto spezie, legno e stagionati.

시원한 풀향과 살짝 말린 보리향이 시큼하고 알싸하게 피어오른다. 꽤나 강렬한데 부담스럽지 않다. 버터스카치나 코코넛 쿠키 같은 향이 고소하고 묵직하게 깔려있다. 청포도나 사과같은 상큼한 향이 밸런스를 잡아준다. 아그리콜 특유의 풀맛이 진득하다. 이 정도의 농도는 la favorite flibuste 이후 처음인데, 그 보다 시원하게 잘 표현해냈다. 민트, 루이보스, 오크를 섬세하게 풀어냈고, 미묘한 에스터 향까지 느껴져 조화롭다. 피니시 : 강하지 않은 적당한 풀 향과 스파이시로 깔끔하다. 상쾌하고 플로럴한 depaz의 스타일이 마음에 듭니다

An excellent agricultural. Elegant and greedy woody, sweet and pleasant spices, a little touch of candied citrus fruits on top. A real pleasure. It makes me want to continue my discoveries of Martinique's brut de fût.

Rather modest in the nose. After airing very harmonious on the palate: the vegetal side of the profile intertwines excellent with the fruity aspects and wood. The whole continues to reverberate for several minutes.

class Agricole! On the nose, winter spices, candied fruit and vegetal notes. On the palate cedar, tobacco, candied fruit and a slightly peppery background. The finish is long and also has the subtle cedar note

Another very nice Agricole, but slightly different in the notes. Woody from nose to finish, but lovely and fruity on the palate. We'll balanced with an earth touch. Price to quality is very good.

Depaz 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 140 Rums

Depaz is the rum born from a volcano. After Mount Pelee wiped out Saint-Pierre and his entire family in 1902, the orphaned Victor Depaz came back and planted cane on the very slopes that had killed them. The distillery he built in 1917 still stands at the foot of the volcano, and its agricole is among the most decorated on Martinique.
