    How does this rum taste?

    Fresh, floral agricole crowd-pleaser
    Who is this rum for?

    You’ll likely enjoy this if you like refined, fruity agricoles: it drinks softly at 43% but still brings enough floral fruit and oak to stay interesting.

    Not really suitable for

    High-proof hunters or those wanting very intense, spicy or funky profiles; also not ideal if you need a long, powerful finish.

    Aroma

    Floral Barrel Round Fresh

    Taste

    Floral Woody Fresh Agricole

    Clean Agricole that is fresh and fruity with a lot of nice spices and only a hint of barrel. I recommend letting it rest for at least 15 minutes before giving it a go.

    Exquisiter Agricole. Viel Geschmack. Parfum, frisch und schräge Assoziationen von Kellerabteil und Blauschimmelkäse (Nase) 🤔. Zugänglich und dennoch Charakter. Nur der Abgang ist leicht zu kurz. Mir gefällt er.

    Yes, floral and woody. And really mild. Nothing special. But now the highlight: Accidentally poured some of the rhum over my hand and then clearly smelled apricot jam on my skin. Simply delicious - and worth 3 plus points for me.

    Second tasting: still good, but I deducted 2 points because it seems much paler than the cask strength version. A strong, spicy agricole rum. I like it, although this style is not my favorite. Insanely long finish that lingers on the palate for ages!
