"Dark and oily. Very heavy, the scent lies him room. Chocolate, coffee, wood, caramel, leather. Only when you put your nose in the glass the fresh, grassy notes of an Agricoles come to light.a tart, long-lasting aftershave in the mouth. It now completely denies its origin, after a few minutes you briefly feel some grassy freshness on the palate.Craftsmanship very good, well balanced, alcohol integration a model. Wood you just have to likeFriends of old, heavy Demeraras, this is THE Agricole for you."
"Enjoying this one right now. I got a sample with my latest order that I picked up today. It needs to rest for at least 15 minutes before you have a go at it. The nose is there right away and is wonderful. The palate is warm and woody with some apple and nuts to it. Very well balanced and complex. The finish is long and woody, warm and spicy, yummy. Unfortunately this is an auction only since very few bottles were released and gone in a flash. "
"This is a very special highlight for me. I've always wanted to try it. I've also always found the label appealing, beautifully simple, elegant and yet special. 1000 thanks to Eugen for giving me this rare sample 🤗. Nose: elegantly concentrated and complex. You immediately smell old, spicy cedar wood with a pleasant wood acidity. Reminds me of Calvados and old brandy. There are also beautiful dark fruits, blackcurrant and sour cherry with old, dried orange slices. And something like fruit bread. It becomes softer on the finish with fine leather, vanilla and a delicate licorice sweetness. Could smell it forever. 9,1 Palate: powerful and complex with a beautiful, oily texture. Initially quite woody acidity, salty, slightly bitter. Spicy sandalwood is very present. Then come pleasantly dark, tart fruits with blackcurrant and sour cherry. It is beautifully spicy, with a mixture of nutmeg, caraway and liquorice. It becomes grassier on the finish, with woody sugar cane coming through and some leather and tobacco. Delicious. 9.1 Great, old, tropically matured Martinique with a lot of depth."
"Yum, a roasted rum just the way we like it!"
