    6.8/10 56 reviews

    Very present alcohol, in the nose as well as in the mouth. Used before for mai-tai but I find that the quality decreases (or it's me who is more demanding).

    Agricolo adatto a tutti, note di legno sul finale

    Really not my kind of rhum. The nose is aggressive and vegetal, the mouth worse - harsh, unbalanced and overly alcoholic. The only redeeming factor is the finish which mellows into a more typical sweet Agricole finish. I see no reason why I would drink this again as many better Agricole options

    Well, it was worth a try. It's just mass-produced. Sharp-edged, alcohol strongly noticeable, unround, woody roasted taste.
