    7.8/10 183 reviews

    After a retest comparing with other VSOP’s I raise my rating to 7,8. A remarkable VSOP that’s very balanced and elegant. The only one of those I’ve tasted that can compete is the 8yo from Dillon. Significant scents and flavors are prunes, grass, sugarcane, vanilla, licorice and tobacco.

    Dried apricot, plums and a pronounced spiciness with spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose. Lots of vanilla and still a certain florality and sugar cane. On the palate, just as much wood and spices, tobacco, licorice and dark chocolate. The fruitiness is still there, but clearly in the background. The long finish brings the familiar aromas, coffee, leather and bitterness to the palate. The Depaz has significantly more wood and is characterized by the barrel aromas. Although the base is perceptible, it is already somewhat in the background.

    From the white to vieux plantation to this. More flowers in this one. More wood. Again nicely balanced. Yellow fruits. Peach. Apple. Tropical. Taste: still tropical but also a lot dryer than the previous one. Hay. Grass. Some cacao. Very different juice. Gets fruitier over time. The dryness needs time to get used to.

    Un VSOP assez semblable à ses confrères. C'est typique. Boisé, vanillé. La canne est encore là. Quelques agrumes. La finale de ce Depaz me semble plus sur le cuir et un côté terreux qu'à l'accoutumée. Pas de risque avec ce rhum. C'est bon et efficace. Édit : sensation confirmée sur une deuxième dégustation. Finale très agréable.
