Top review from HenryL:
"Pleasant smell, for me dominates a fresh note paired with wood and some fruit.An incredible mouthfeel, super soft and pleasantly oily. Fruity notes are in the foreground in the taste, out the back comes some menthol to it.The nose is good, the taste the hammer!"

"Very awesome balance of Madeira wine sweet, light acidity, barrel notes, sulfur, dark berries and the Rhum Agricole. Harmonious, elegant and delicious! Can easily keep up with partly twice as old rhum agricoles💣👌🏽"

"Horny shit. Only 3y old and so delicious, mild and complex! Horny balanced by the alcohol content, dirty and intense after dark in butter baked popcorn, plus dark chocolate cookies with red fruits, dates and lots of spices. Neat tannins and sulfur, as well as toasted barrel notes and salted pretzels and again buttered popcorn round out the whole. Very awesome! For me, an absolute board. Makes an incredibly horny old fashioned and Mai Tai🤤 for me probably the absolute benchmark as far as rum from Madeira is concerned!"

"First a bit off-putting on the nose because it smells of sweat🤣but then after some time it becomes juniper, musty pear, honey, chocolate and cinnamon cookies. Barrel notes rather restrained and very elegant!"

Top review from Vincent D:
"I have a problem with this rum: I can't decide whether I like it or not. Every time I taste it, I get a new impression. The nose is always more or less the same: grapes, wood, spices. You can tell it's an agricultural wine. On the palate, the grape is very present. The woodiness is strong. The rum is dry and heavy. It's halfway between an agricole and some of Guyana's molasses. But I often find it very unpleasantly bitter. The bitterness of grape skins. It's frustrating because when I don't have that sensation, I love its power. The rum clearly benefits from VERY long aeration. Edit: very woody and bitter finish. Decidedly, hard to make up one's mind. Edit edit: oxidation is this bottle's friend! Edit edit edit: farewell. I would have loved you anyway! That woody farmer!"

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A Madeira rum with a rather floral, fruity nose, complemented by notes of sap, wood, cocoa, sugarcane and sweet spices. The influence of port is felt not only on the nose, but also on the palate, with notes of grapes and red fruit, followed by roasted aromas with coffee and nuts, and a floral, earthy framework that also lingers on the finish. The finish is fairly long, with warm notes of spice, bitter licorice, chocolate and fruit (red and dried fruit). A pleasant rum, typical of its milieu, which lacks a little of the depth to make it a complete and better rum."

Top review from Tim :
"Danke an Pedro Ferreira, der meinen Schwiegereltern einige Rumproben mitgab :-) Die Nase ist extrem ungewöhnlich, schwer zu beschreiben. Wein, butterig, röstig, vergorene Früchte (Trauben) und Artischocke?!? Komplex! Im Mund sehr ungewöhnlich für einen Agricole, überhaupt nicht würzig, sondern süß und weinlastig, was durch das Madeirafass kommt. Etwas besonderes, ja ein außergewöhlicher Rum!"

Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"A very thick and woody 970 rum. French oak soaked with madeira wine. It's very prominent. I do get a hint of it's agricole base. Lots of winterly spices. Whiff of menthol. Cherries and black currants (dryish). Pretty good."

Top review from Rodolphe:
"Et bien voila de nouveau une belle bouteille de chez Le Gus't qui est un super rapport prix/plaisir. Un Agricole bien marqué par un fût de Madère avec un coté vineux liquoreux mais très bien dosé et qui n'écoeure absolument pas. Le nez est particulièrement agréable d'ailleurs. Belle découverte."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Blind könnte man fast an Himbeergeist denken vor allem bei der Nase. Selten so ein intensiv beeriges Aroma bei Agricole. Erlebt. Absolut außergewöhnlich! Extrem rund und mild durch Minimum 2 Jahre im Stahltank. 👌🏽"

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It’s a great Rhum being so young that I really can recommend.By the way is the Agricole’s from Madeira the only ones outside the French Overseas Departments that’s widely recognized as true Agricole’s."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Als würde man richtig guten Calvados, Cognac und Rhum Agricole ein Baby machen lassen. Sehr lecker und harmonisch und macht richtig Spaß!🤤 Ungewöhnliche Noten nach grüner Paprika, Erdnussbutter, Sellerie und grünem Apfel, etwas Schwefel und Honig und deutlich mehr Holzeinfluss. Für mich persönlich ist es etwas zu viel Cognac Einfluss, ein paar Monate in Madeira Fässern zusätzlich hätten gut getan..."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got a sample of this one while buying some bottles. I think that this Madeira Agricole feels like something between French Agricole’s and the Rivers Antoine. The taste has also some similarities with the Jamaican white Overproof’s. By the way is the Agricole’s from Madeira the only ones outside the French Overseas Departments that’s widely recognized as true Agricole’s."
