    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!
