Barikenn Antilles Françaises

Rich in tropical fruit, wood, and caramel, this Martinique rum invites complex sips and lively debate. One to try if you enjoy agricole with a woody edge.

    How does this rum taste?

    • fruity (fruits tropicaux et agrumes)
    • volles zusammenspiel zwischen Frucht, Fass und Agricol Noten
    • Sehr komplexer Rum

    Barikenn’s "Antilles Françaises" (2017, 57.5%) is a cask strength Martinique Agricole, drawing in RumX members with fruity, woody, and caramel notes. There’s plenty of dried and tropical fruit upfront, with a solid backbone of oak and tobacco, and hints of chocolate. Some noted a balanced interplay of fruit, cask, and agricole character; @Galli33 found it "sehr komplex" with a finish where "Agricole/Zuckerrohr Noten" shine. Others pick up on toffee and spice, while a few mention a drier, woodier side in the finish—"dominée par le boisé" (@Eric Frechin).

    "Secret distillery my ass this is clearly J. Bally. Smashingly good rum btw and the price is a steal for a brut de fut Agricole of this quality. Only 111 bottles made so scoop it up if you see it."

    "Vielen Dank an Thomas für das tolle Sample! Sehr komplexer Rum, mit einer sehr schönen Nase, volle toller Agricole Noten gepaart mit Möbel Wax, ein wenig Teer, Toffee und viel Frucht. Was mit weniger gefiel, waren zum Ende hin diie Noten von verkohlten Holz und Fleisch Am Gaumen, sehr fein, ausgewogen, komplex. Tolles zusammenspiel zwischen Frucht, Fass und Agricol Noten. Finish ist lang und dort überwiegen die Agricole/Zuckerrohr Noten."

    "C est un rhum en provenance de Martinique , et plus précisément de la distillerie St James (on en reconnaît bien les caractéristiques olfactive et gustatives . Le nez est plein de promesses, mais je suis un peu moins enthousiaste au goût. Un peut sec et alcooleux pour moi... mais ça reste bien. Je trouve la finale dominée par le boisé"

    "A brut de fût martiniquais in all its splendour, fruity (tropical fruits and citrus), gourmand (toffee, caramel, chocolate) and with a beautiful character (wood, tobacco, shoe polish and spices). I can't find a fault with it"
