Tastes fresh and vegetal with sugarcane and subtle fruit. Well-integrated alcohol on the palate makes it a smooth sipper, though the finish is on the short side.

    How does this rum taste?

    Most reviewers appreciate how this rum balances vegetal sugarcane notes with a touch of fruit and confectionery sweetness, especially once tasted. Flavors of dry fruit, caramel, and hints of herb or wood emerge, with several mentioning a soft, well-integrated alcohol presence after an initially strong aroma. It's a solid pick for fans of more earthy, agricole-style rums, especially neat as a relaxed sipper. Worth trying if you're curious about Mauritius rums' unique style.

    Ein recht ausgewogener Agricole aus Mauritius der sehr elegant und weich daher kommt. Die Aromen sind recht komplex aus Frucht, Süsse, Fass und Gras. Im Abgang dominiert agricoletypisch mehr die pflanzliche Seite. Ein entspannter Sipper

    Schöne Agricole-Note, die Nase noch sehr verhalten aber am Gaumen wirklich toll mit dem Geschmack von Kräutern, Holz und Kirsche. Alkohol gut eingebunden! Mittelanger komplexer Abgang. Sehr solide und natürlich hübsche Flasche! Ist der wirklich aus Melasse hergestellt worden???

    Triple Balan Family Selection Tasting. Die Nase wird dominiert von Alkohol und vergorenen Früchten. Weiß grad nicht ob positiv oder negativ. Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol wie weg und somit gut eingebunden. Melassegeschmack kommt nach vorne und Trockenobst. Der Abgang ist leider nicht so lang.

    Ui, gewöhnungsbedürftiger Agricole (ähm, ich meine, Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft). Etwas zu sprittig und bitter. Würde am ehesten auf Labourdonnais tippen. Muss man nicht unbedingt probiert haben.
