Brutally cool overproof Agricole. Intense aromas of honeydew melon and sugar cane juice. Alcohol surprisingly well integrated. Aromatically really incredibly exciting. Very complex and delicious. Makes a gigantic Ti Punch!
The Montebello comes across as quite intense... it can't hide its 80+ ABV... from the nose to the finish they are quite present, but in a pleasant way... the herbal side dominates..on the palate also a heavy sweetness ... PS: it's fantastic in TiPunch... heavy and fruity 😋
Third, the original juice of the two (22B and C). No. 22A. And that hits the suppository with almost 83% properly.nose: careful smelling is announced, but then comes a lot of fermented fruit, floral and something vegetal. Here the unripened Agricole resemble each other but clearly. This one has an oily heaviness. Ripe honeydew melon and papaya meet mild olive. The 83% is there, but doesn't hurt.Palate: blatantly creamy, oily and intense. I think even my pulse quickens briefly at the %%. But flows amazingly well down the palate. Lots of fermented honeydew melon. Slightly bitter for a moment, then honeyed sweetness again. In the back, typical Agricole, becoming distinctly grassy.Challenging and flavor intense. Very interesting.
The rum with the highest ABV i ever drunk (so far)! This is a really nice fruit bomb with lovely sugarcane notes. The alcohol is integrated very well, but some drops of water will help for sure 😜! Blind i would rate it between 60-max70%.
