Geruch: Sehr sauber, frisch und elegant. Riecht dabei pflanzlich nach Zuckerrohr mit typischen Agricole Aromen. Zu Beginn etwas zurückhaltend, braucht Zeit. Weitere Aromen kommen auf - leicht süß und fruchtig - vor allem Banane. Vanille und Zimt, Zitrusfrüchte, Zitronenschale, kandierte Früchte und Orangenblüte. Geschmack: Im Mund süß und cremig mit Aromen von Zuckerrohrsaft und Grafschafter Goldsaft. Bei Schlucken dann angenehm würzig mit Aromen von Holz - insbesondere Sandelholz, Ingwer, Lakritze, Muskat, Kakao und Tabak. Zudem Kuchenteig, Banane und kandierte Früchte. Super lecker.
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.
A pretty solid release and the price matches what you get. Pretty good balance between the flavours in my mind.
