    Clean, vegetal agricole for curious palates
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy grassy agricoles, Clairins or even Pisco-like spirits, this will likely click—distinct sugarcane and olive notes with enough punch to shine neat or in Ti’ Punch.

    Not really suitable for

    Those new to rum, anyone expecting sweet and soft profiles, or drinkers who dislike olive, cucumber or grassy notes and are sensitive to a bit of alcohol sharpness.

    This was a very and I mean a very nice surprise. I rarely sip white rums, but this one brought me over. A wonderfully balanced 3 year old white, which presents itself with a wonderful nose and a surprise to your palate. A nice warm finish with fruits, spice and a bit of flowers to it. Stays in your throat and nose for a long time after sipping. Definitely one I'd recommend rum lovers to try and sip.

    einer der schönsten & bezahlbarsten Agricoles überhaupt. erinnert stark an guten peruanischen pisco. im ti Punch kommt die Traubennote richtig schön durch.

    Reminds me of Macronesian Gin (volcanic spring water) in its clarity and gives a slightly dirty, vegetable flavor with cucumber and olive like in some Clairins in the finish. Agricole through and through, slightly sweet and very mild in taste. Super fresh nose.

    An interesting agricole from a rum Christmas calendar a few years ago. It is a good sipper, but I could see this in a cocktail. In the nose, no doubt this is sugarcane, but also acidy hints. In the notes I got some spices, licorice and a floral aftertaste
