    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this XO for its balanced, approachable agricole profile with well‑integrated alcohol. Expect vanilla and sugarcane lifted by oak, drifting into roasted notes of coffee, tobacco and chocolate with gentle spice. Often enjoyed neat and even with a cigar. A popular choice with 158 reviews, though a few find it a touch woody/dry or the finish short—still widely regarded as a dependable classic.

    This is a super delicious Agricole from the start to the finish! The Alcohol and wood is integrated very well. This is a good rum to pair with a cigar! I use this always as a agricole starter in a tasting for beginners and advanced drinkers.

    18.11.2023 Yet another retasting and I still like the profile. --------------------- Retasting at the German Rum Fest and I still like it. ----- We had a go at several HSE today and I'm a bit tipsy from it.

    Another very fine rum, but unfortunately only good. Edit: After another tasting, the rating remains the same. Solid, delivers what it is made for. But unfortunately nothing more. I definitely wouldn't need a bottle.

    Very nice Agricole. Harmonious and tasty. I like!
