How does this rum taste?
Across 49 RumX reviews, members praise this 8‑year Marie‑Galante agricole for its fresh, fruity profile with apple/calvados echoes and creamy toffee. Vegetal-herbal and citrus aromas lead to a drier, woody palate with light spice and salinity. Reviewers often enjoy it neat after some air. Some note a shorter finish and a slightly thin feel, but it’s widely admired for its elegance and complexity.

Pomme en finale. Un vieux calvados !
Not too bad and the price is OK.
Contrary to the other comments I have read, I find it a bit "light" on the nose, but it is still very pleasant. Also in the mouth where the aromas are powerful and very good. Average length.
Incredibly cool agricole with a super atypical aroma profile. Nose: toffee, burnt caramel, dried apricots, tonka bean and fully ripe pineapple. The taste is much drier and woodier than expected with a slight saltiness and an intense creamy toffee note. Extremely tasty, elegant and complex!
