“On The Rocks: One the nose it has strong pineapple aroma with subtle grass and spice. There is not mistaking this is an Agricole rum. Taste reveals a continued strong sweet pineapple with moderate wood notes with a subtle grass and spice undertones. The finish is long and has some complexity that is very special for a 4 year rum. Overall this is a fantastic and unique rum that you will either love or hate. Mixed Pepsi Zero: One the nose subtle grass notes with mild pineapple. Taste is a little confusing and a little bitter… i dont known if I could say I even enjoy it mixed. This is definately not to be mixed… it is very enjoyable on the rocks.”
