    A pretty solid release and the price matches what you get. Pretty good balance between the flavours in my mind.

    Toller Geruch nach mittelaltem Eichenholz. Im Geschmack recht kräftig trotz der nur 53%. Im Abgang eine tolle langanhaltende Süße vom Eichenfass. Schöner Guadeloupe der noch keine Dreckigkeit hat.

    This one took some time for me to formulate my impression, mainly due to the fact that Agricoles are so different to the typical Rum I drink. It is very mild in some of the characteristics of aged Agricoles that I did not like so much in the past. Others mention sweetness (it's okay ish, not very sweet to me), sugarcane (again, not very developed sugarcane for me, at last if one has the sirupy sugarcane taste of unaged for comparison) and grass (I get hay, maybe similar). The Alcohol is very well integrated, the whole Rhum very well balanced.

    Ein sehr angenehmer, weicher und typischer Agricole! Am Gaumen ein schönes Wechselspiel von Süsse, Holz, Espresso und pflanzlichen Aromen. Im Abgang dann klassische Gras- und Heuaromen! Sehr gut!
