Still recovering from a big Bally tasting yesterday, maybe I had one too many after the tasting finished. Clean Agricole that is fresh and fruity with a lot of nice spices and only a hint of barrel. The finish is long to medium long. 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.

Zweite Verkostung: unverändert gut aber ich habe 2 Punkte abgezogen, will er im Vergleich mit der Version in Fassstärke doch deutlich blasser wirkt. Ein kräftiger, würziger Agricole Rum. Gefällt mir gut obwohl dieser Stil nicht mein Liebling ist. Wahnsinnig langer Abgang, der Ewigkeiten am Gaumen bleibt!

Ein guter komplexer Agricole mit intensiven fruchtigen Aromen! Ohne Verdünnung wäre eine höhere Bewertung gerechtfertigt gewesen

Mi ha colpito per la facilità di bevuta, il corpo è piuttosto leggero. Naso e palato con una nota zuccherina molto evidente. Speziatura assente o praticamente inavvertibile. Finale molto breve.

wow! blind würde ich fast auf Savanna tippen, damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet. Pfirsich, Erdbeere und Basilikum, frisch fruchtig, dazu etwas weiße Schokolade mit Rosenblüten, etwas würziger Piment und Zimt dazu, was in der Kombi mit dem Rest eine unglaublich komplex, frisch, fruchtige Nummer ergibt und das ganze trotz Trinkstärke sehr geschmeidig und dennoch komplex und vollmundig. geil, damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet! 🤤
