“For me, confusingly similar to the Velier-Clairin from the 11th GRF (RX13301). And that one didn't taste good to me either, unfortunately. 🤷♂️ So not only that I would have blindly guessed the wrong country with Haiti, this Agricole from Martinique doesn't particularly turn me on at the palate (whiskey impression, not my cup of tea at all); which is a pity, because when opening the bottle, promising exotic-sweet funk sounds hit me in the nose. The light coffee note in the finish, however, reconciles me again a bit with the unpleasant previous impression on the palate.”

“Would I have in the blind tasting after the first sip somewhere at Jamaica with whiskey finish.... Beyond the colorful mixture of strawberry-peach-pineapple-grape, fermented aromas to the palate a little olive it goes here just a little smoky. Exciting variety.”

“an der Nase eine Mischung aus Savanna Grand Arome (Erdbeeren, Vanille) und Hampden high ester (Joghurt, buttrig). Am Gaumen kommen deutlich die Noten aus dem Virgin Oak Fass durch. Im Abgang ebenfalls Gerbstoffe (Tannine), Erdbeeren und Salzlake.”
