How does this rum taste?
- Extrem rund und komplex
- Alcohol is integrated so well
- Vielversprechend komplex, würzig-holzig
Straight from Martinique’s Depaz distillery, this cask-strength Agricole brings rounded aromas of yellow fruits—mirabelle, apricot, and pear—balanced by wood, honeyed cane, and a fresh, vegetal edge. Tasting impressions lean into the interplay of licorice and grass, with a gentle underpinning of vanilla and spice. The community zeroes in on the smooth integration of alcohol—"perfekt ausgewogen, getrocknete Marillen" says Joachim Guger, while Galli33 notes, "Perfection from start to end." Lively, fresh, and complex, this is a rum that gets called "extrem rund und komplex" by crazyforgoodbooze, but still wears its robust, grassy profile with elegance.

To Depaz
"In the ears of rum nerds, round is often synonymous with boring. You can learn from Cognac that this doesn't have to be the case. This rum from the Cognac barrel is proof of the rum category. The nose is great class, a wonderful harmony of dry grass, cider (fermented apple), dried apricots and the spicy influence of the wood. In the mouth it is more powerful - but the almost 60% is perfectly integrated. The aftertaste turns into an apple pie made from must, overripe, spicy apples (Topaz, my favorite variety!), with nuts or sesame. A hint of salty liquorice completes the picture. The hay and wood remain and set the stage for the great fruit. The finish is just as round as the rest of the rum, with perfectly integrated tannins that linger in the mouth for a long time. I'm so glad I bought another bottle - I was very unsure because my sample at the GRF was heavily tainted by the Dillon Bdc I had in my glass beforehandQ. Great rum. Update 24.03.2024: still a very good rum, I can no longer understand my great enthusiasm. Perhaps the oxidation has taken its toll on it. -3"
"Really nice Agricole Single Cask. Extremely round and complex. Great cask selection! Definitely one of the best "newer" depaz single casks to date. Very relaxed to drink and surprisingly drinkable."
"Very fine, great Agricole. Perfectly balanced, dried apricots (which I love), alcohol super integrated. The only highlight of the Rumfestival Vienna. Detailed tasting follows. Edit: Now tasted in peace from the sample. Great nose. Cookie dough, slightly tart, dried apricot, polish, solvent and slightly animalic, spice, especially some licorice and grassy/fresh. Nicely balanced, complex, alcohol well integrated. Crisp, warm, very slightly musty in the mouth. Dried fruit, licorice and grass on the finish. Super Agricole. Now bought a bottle after all...😅"
"Delicious round Agricole of high quality. Typical grassy and young wood aromas stand out immediately on the attack. This rum elegantly settles on the palate and then departs with a medium-long finish. Elegant, tasty agricole without being outstandingly good. Better to pay a little more and get a single cask bottling from 2000, 2002 or 2004."
