How does this rum taste?
Most praise its fresh sugarcane, citrus and herbal spice, calling it a characterful, well-balanced white agricole. Critics find the alcohol and bitterness a bit rough and the price somewhat high.
If you like expressive white agricoles like Neisson or Père Labat, this is a logical next bottle: same fresh cane and citrus core, but with extra peppery, herbal bite.
Newcomers to rum, anyone sensitive to 59% ABV or bitter, vegetal notes, and buyers expecting a bargain-priced mixing rum.

What can you say about this Swell bottling? First of all, finally keep to your release date 😉 Otherwise there's not much to say about it, it delivers what you'd expect, but it's not a mega-bringer either neat or in a daiquiri that stands out from other bottlings. A good average rum that has a higher price compared to others of the same quality, as usual with Swell.

Ein recht guter Agricole, der sich nahtlos in die Reihe der mittlerweile oft verfügbaren guten unaged Agricoles einreiht. Einzig der Alkohol ist nicht so gut eingebunden und stört das ansonsten harmonische Gesamtbild
Da hat swell aber mal einen interessanten ungelagerten ausgewählt. In der Nase noch sehr Agricole typische Zitrusfrucht das Zuckerrohr kommt gut durch das ganze ist sehr balanciert. Am Gaumen rückt dann deutlich die Würze nach vorn. Viel Pfeffer bisweilen speckig dominiert. Im Finish dann auch eher erdige würzige Eindrücke. Finde daa Destillat sehr spannend und bin gespannt wie er sich im ti Punch macht, der Kernfunktion von weißem Agricole. Heute zum bottle kill im Ti Punch nacht dieser Agricole einen ausgezeichneten Eindruck dafür geht's einen Punkt rauf👍
