Dry and quite woody Agricole with beautiful Christmas notes (including cinnamon)
The nose is clearly focused on candied fruits such as prunes, but also a little vanilla and sweet spices that come a little later. The palate is dry and mellows after a few seconds, with spices and wood coming to the fore. The finish is moderately long but very pleasant, with the woodiness lingering in the mouth. A rum I recommend for its very good value for money, hse offers us a fine experience both on the nose and on the palate. Leave to rest in the glass for a while for the best experience. Once the glass is empty, it gives off a sublime aroma for a long time to come.
A fairly young rum, but well marked by the cask. The profile is very spicy. The fruit on the nose is not present on the palate, which is a pity, as it lacks a little of the gourmandise. The texture is pleasant.
Tasted at the 11th GRF: More exciting than, for example, the XO and quite drinkable. For me, however, is also missing here a unique selling proposition or something character that sets it apart from the mass of Agricoles!
