Most enjoy its smooth, gourmand cane-vanilla profile and value. Critics find it young, thin and short on finish. Consensus: an easy, affordable agricole starter and cocktail base, not a complex sipper.
Whisky drinkers and beginners wanting an easy first agricole with gentle oak, vanilla sweetness and a friendly price that works neat or in Ti’ vieux and classic cocktails.

Seit Wochen mal wieder ein guter Rum den ich verkoste. Nicht zu süß und fruchtig. Der französische Still ist und bleibt mein Lieblingsstill. Ein Agricole bestens für Einsteiger geeignet, als Grundlage für Cocktails zu gut.
Couleur clair, nez plaisant avec ce houblon l, whisky discret mais présent ! Sucre roux présent également et une gourmandise latente. Bouche puissante et expressive pour ce titrage. Très intéressant parce que différent du nez. Les fruits se dégagent sur la seconde bouche, très interessant. Finale courte m, seche et étrangement âpre sur le végétal
Delicious argicole, great for mixing but also neat. I like it a lot in my el presidente
Nothing special here to tell. It‘s a young soft, thin (diluted) agricole and more recommended to beginners. Anyway, you can taste out a lot of various notes. Easy daily rum with a short and unimpressive finish.
