On the nose a pleasant note of roasted orange peel, apricot and woody influences.The palate is clearly woody, slightly bitter and toasty!But also delicate fruit notes and grass spread! The whole seems very complex and intense!The alcohol could be a little better integrated, because it is still very present!The finish is initially toasty woody and afterwards the classic grassy flavors develop!A top rum... and Agricole

First time tasting isautier and it is a real masterpiece!Intense, you can feel the fruity part and you can feel the cask part which is not invasive and gives a nice complexity to the palate!The hints of citrus make you want to always have another sip more!I was very impressed!

I like it well, nice Agricole nose with clove, caramel, dried fruit and a subtle freshness. On the palate a nice interplay between tart notes (toasty, black tea) and sweetness (burnt sugar). In the finish charred wood and tannins.

Great Agricole! Nice spice, lots of wood influence and nice peach black tea and dark cocoa and burnt hay notes. Alcohol is somewhat present overall and could be better integrated after 15y, yet this is a very exciting

Now the Agricole, after the molasses was really great...Nose: also nice intense and powerful. And yes, definitely Agricole. A little fresher and greener, more vinegar. Woody and spicy to boot. The barrel comes through nicely and again I smell the bourbon barrel clearly. The fruit is a bit fresher, green apple with dried apricot. Falls short of the molasses after all. 8.5Palate: oh yes, also very intense, complex and powerful. Spicy-malty. Nutmeg with licorice. Fatty-nutty, maybe a little tonka bean. Has something in the direction of brioche. Somehow also fruity, then rather prune. In the back, however, the Agricole comes through, with grassy sugar cane, plus some licorice. The bourbon barrel is clearly to taste.For an Agricole really damn good, because very complex, spicy and full. 8.9In the end, I like the molasses a bit more. It has even more volume. But both are great cinema for me.

Ein voller, dichter Agricole in der Nase. Schöne Fruchtigkeit, Zitrus und dann etwas säuerlicher Apfel, alles perfekt dosiert. Im Mund dann warm und sehr, sehr pelzig. Eine interessante, schöne animalische Note (getrocknete Nilpferdkacke?😉) Hab ich in dieser Form noch nicht gehabt. Kurzer, einfacher Abgang. Interessant, voll, intensiv, ausgewogen, Alkohol perfekt integriert, Velier. Der gewinnt sicher bei der zweiten Verkostung dazu.

#4010 Another expensive release and this one is not as well balanced as the Agricole release. The wood and ABV could have been integrated better though its not completely put of balance it still throws it off a bit. Fruity with a lot of wood and roasted notes. Looking at the price tage and having to chose I'd go with the Agricole version if I had to buy one.

Interessant, aber: ich find die Agricole Note nicht so passend; ich mag die melasse mehr und passender zu dem Fasscharakter; außerdem sehr astringent

Al naso zucchero bruciato, spezie, agrumi, pere e un pelo d'arrostito e botte. Al palato è molto floreale, ma anche fruttato, legnoso e speziato, con qualche nota balsamica e pepata che si aggiunge in un finale legnosamente lungo, corposo e finemente tostato. Particolare e carico di personalità, bellissima sorpresa e abv integratissimo. (Il punteggio oscilla a seconda della degustazione tra i 91-92)
