“I'm under the spell of the nose! Sumptuous, one could spend hours on it. On the palate, pepper and nutmeg, I'd say, as usual with agricultural wines. But citrus, yellow fruit and vanilla are not far off... If I were as hooked on the palate as on the nose, it would be 95! Excellent, for the moment the best agricole I've tasted. Thank you DrDjango!”

“Excellent Agricole, tastes slightly better to me than the 2006. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Intoxicating nose to enjoy. Barrel aging they can anyway perfectly in the French Antilles. I just tasted it with the Neisson 15 Ans Batch #2, it is very similar and equally good.”

“Second tasting: the alcohol is a little superficial but still an excellent rum, rating unchanged. Wow, this is once an intense column still rum! Nuts, spicy and fruity and sweetness associated with the fruit on the nose. And unmistakably Agricole! On the palate a lot of wood / barrel and bitter but still balanced. I'm not a big Agricole fan (so far) but I like this one from the start and it's one of my top 3 Agricole rums. Unfortunately, no longer readily available.”

“Un rhum extraordinaire qui montre que le style français peut rivaliser avec le style britannique. Le nez est un régal olfactif, plongé entre les notes confites et pâtissières, les arômes de tabac, de fruits tropicaux et l’avalanche d’épices, le tout formant un mélange gourmand et très complexe. En bouche, l’attaque est intense mais terriblement délicieuse. Là encore, une triangulaire épicée, fruitée et pâtissière mène la danse tandis que le tabac, le bois, le cacao et les noix arrivent en embuscade. L’alcool est extrêmement bien intégré. La finale est longue, très épicée et fraîche, avec des notes de thé et de réglisse en complément d’un profil déjà superbe. Une véritable pépite sensationnelle qui fait partie du top tier des rhums agricoles.”

“#15th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, coconut, woody, light spicy, honey, pastries Mouth: coconut, citrus, fruity, agricole, earthy, tobacco, nutmeg Finish: long, oak, woody, earthy, delicious, black tea, milk chocolate Wow, this is an amazing agricole. Starts without being an agricole, but in the mouth it’s chancing immediately. The finish is long and delicious and earthy. Really a great rum. It’s an agricole. My prediction: from Martinique, but i’m unsure to pick a distillery. ca. 55% approx. 15 Years”

“A rum of which I had high expectations, yet which did not disappoint. Rodolphe told me it was one of his favorite rums. On the nose, a great sweetness, with fruit (pineapple, banana, passion fruit) and vegetal notes. The attack on the palate is smooth, with a beautiful aromatic palette. Everything's in place, it couldn't be better. Incredibly smooth, given the ABV. The finish is long and delicate, with a noble bitterness. A rum that ticks all the boxes.”

“What a top rhum ! Tasted in the RumX calendar. From the nose I still assumed a molasses rum and have tried to assign the aromatics. On the palate, however, the subtle florality and hay note has indicated a long-stored Agricole. The vanilla note in the nose is also quite great cinema. Stored La Mauny is from now on also on the radar.”

“RumXmas 2022, #15, blind: I’m going with agricole, but I’m lacking experience in the French style to make an educated guess. I can’t differentiate enough between the distilleries. It opens up really nice, floral-honey flavors for me. Wow alcohol integration is amazing… first Chantal Comte for me I think. Not disappointed 😍”
