    "An at least 12yo very subtle, smooth, full bodied and nice Rhum with rich flavors of fruits, grass and sugarcane. Unfortunately it’s not produced anymore instead is the distillery producing another Agricole with the same name less aged and bottled in another type of bottle with a blue label."

    "The typical Depaz markers are present (dried fruit, licorice). A hint of sweetness. Very round, very balanced and above all very drinkable. 🍼🍼🍼 Phenomenal finish! Depaz profile and phenomenally drinkable. The newer version (golden stripe at the top of the label) tastes very similar, perhaps a touch more citrus."

    "Der Dritte hochwertige Agricole im Tasting… und er toppt sie alle… Sehr komplex, vollmundig, weich und harmonisch . Die fruchtig süßen Aromen verwöhnen die Nase auf das Feinste. Am Gaumen entwickelt er ein komplexes sensorisches Festspiel von süß, fruchtig, würzig, pflanzlich und leichter Würze. Alkohol ist kaum wahrnehmbar. Der Abgang ist schön intensiv und geschmeidig.. ein Agricole der Spitzenklasse"
