Farbe: Kastanie Geruch: Zurückhaltend, zunächst Lack, Farbe und Seife. Nach längerem Stehen dann Vanille, Kräuter und Gras, also die zu erwartenden Agricole-Aromen. Geschmack: Süß, weich, mild und cremig im Mund. Beim Schlucken leicht würzig mit Fudge. Zudem pflanzlich, Kräuter, Agricole. Rund. Braucht etwas Zeit. Abgang: Mittellang Rund und mild mit Aromen von Kräutern, Karamell und Holz. Im Nachgeschmack trocken. 76 Punkte

Toller Agricole, der richtig Spaß macht. Für eine Top-Bewertung aber etwas zu dünn.

Hatte hohe Erwartungen an den Rum, da ich bisher viele gute Sachen gelesen hatte. Leider hat er meinen Geschmack überhaupt nicht getroffen. Jeder sollte sich hier allerdings seine eigene Meinung machen. Er ist auf alle Fälle mal was komplett anderes.

Rumů Saint James mám napitých jen pár, ale tento se řadí bohužel na ty zadní pozice, ale každopádně díky za každou novou zkušenost
