How does this rum taste?
- douce et équilibrée
- complex but... lacks length
- superb! (@Gunnar Böhme)
La Flibuste 1997 is all about a soft, round profile loaded with caramel, vanilla, and unmistakable pastry notes—think prune flan or ‘far breton’ with a hint of confit fruit. Many agree on its high drinkability and mellow sweetness, with some likening it to a ‘bonbon en bouche’ (@Rhum Mirror). The nose is praised for its “pâtissier” style, featuring dried prunes, caramel, and old wood, while the palate brings balanced woody and vanilla layers. Yet, some miss more power or a lingering finish. As @John Coffey says: “complex but... lacks length.”

"This is a really good agricole 🤤 Sweet notes paired with fruits and licorice mixed with sugarcane juice 🤤 I kept this bottle for a special moment😎 The alcohol and woos is integrated very well. Blind i would gave it approx. 10 years of aging"
"Very accessible, intense Agricole. Very tasty. Are there any additives in here?"
"Blind tasting: Wow, great old Agricole. Incredibly balanced. Will definitely get another chance. Everything was confirmed again in the 2nd tasting. Definitely the best Agricole I've drunk so far. Wow, what an experience. I need a bottle."
"Blind tasting, so unfortunately the photo is not very informative. Despite the now unusually low ABV for me, the clear winner of the blind tasting. Superb!"
