Top review from X-Savior:

"On The Rocks: One the nose it has strong pineapple aroma with subtle grass and spice. There is not mistaking this is an Agricole rum. Taste reveals a continued strong sweet pineapple with moderate wood notes with a subtle grass and spice undertones. The finish is long and has some complexity that is very special for a 4 year rum. Overall this is a fantastic and unique rum that you will either love or hate. Mixed Pepsi Zero: One the nose subtle grass notes with mild pineapple. Taste is a little confusing and a little bitter… i dont known if I could say I even enjoy it mixed. This is definately not to be mixed… it is very enjoyable on the rocks."

Top review from Kayla Roy:

"Phenomenal, how delicious! This is not for everyone, but if you like funky, almost gross smelling rum (if you know, you know) this is the thing. It smells like white dog and fights like a much younger distillate. Wonderful!"

"Quite sweet in the nose with notes of caramel and cherry/almond essens. The mouthfeel is sharp. At first sweet caramel and lemon curdy feeling then vanilla and a medium finish with peppery cocoa nippy notes"
