As a summary this is a very smooth and truly an magnificent Agricole. I suppose it’s Depaz best standard Rhum, aged for at least during 9 years in small oak barrels. I think there are some similarities with the old bottle of Grande Reserve XO which was aged at least 12 years. It’s very complex and it’s hard to sort out the aromas and tastes.
A beautiful nose with spices, liquorice, floral tones with rose. Peach, wood and brown sugar. The alcohol, though low, is not fully integrated, which is a pity. The palate is far less complex than the nose, with rosewood, caramel and a slightly unpleasant astringency. The finish is too short, with some floral aromas. Tasted again and still not convinced.
A deliciously complex Depaz with a warm and long-lasting finish.
#4053 A lightly dry and fruity Depaz. Nice balance in the flavours but have loved a higher ABV. The empty glass is nice and has some nutts and light licorice.
