Rhum Vieux Agricole Plantation

After resting this one for 15 plus minutes I have to say it came out pretty well. The nose is a clear Agricole with a fruity vegetal/earthy note, maybe even some wet hay. On top i get a floral and woody tingle. The palate is also an Agricole from the start. A spicy dry start going into orange zest and cocoa drizzled with marzipan. The finish is long and slightly bitter/dry, in a good way, with spices and citrus/lemon at the end.

Bought me this bottle on my way down to Spain. It’s aged for at least 3 years in oak casks. Overall a quite intense Agricole that’s quite demanding with flavors of fruits, spices and oak from the barrels.

An aged rum of very high quality for its age. The nose is full-bodied, with orange and dried fruit, swirling spices, mellow oak, toasted bread and hints of greenery. The palate is very spicy, with cloves, pepper and vanilla, with hints of cocoa on melted, lightly toasted oak. Fruitiness blends with agricultural bitterness for a very homogeneous, well-constructed whole. The long, round finish offers a fine balance of sweet spices, exotic fruit, citrus, sugarcane and hints of greenery. A tasty, aromatic little nugget, available at an unbeatable price.

Nella norma, profumi che regalano poche emozioni.

very nice full off flavour 45%abv good value

I particularly like the unexpectedly long finish. For the money, you get a very complex agricole that has both the typical agricole aromas and barrel notes. For the price, I think it's a good deal, especially in the world of mixologists.

etwas herb im Abgang

Starts out very delicate in the nose. Honey. Light. Chamomille (tea). Light fruit: peaches. Oranges. A hint of oak. Tasty: nice. More yellow fruits. Abricot. Peach. Orange. A little bitterness. Wood more prominent. Could do with a bit more alcohol%. Still delicate. Easy sipper. Nothing outstanding but again pretty good. The fruitiness especially a appealling.

L'entrée de gamme de chez Depaz. Sans grande surprise. C'est bon mais pas exceptionnel. Et je trouve que le rapport qualité prix est moins bon que celui de leur vsop. Ca reste intéressant pour cette gamme de prix.

It's impossible to discuss this rum without mentioning the price. It's a real bomb at 29€. Well, okay, I paid 38€ because I support my local shopkeeper, but oh well. My first Depaz and my expectations were high despite the young age of this rum (and by the way it's 3 years old not 4 as the app says here). Fortunately those expectations are all fulfilled because at this price I highly recommend this rum. It makes a really great old ti-punch and for the first time I can taste the real difference between red and blue cane. No doubt the blue is the gentleman in comparison with the red and I'll probably stock both Dillon and Depaz dorenavant because they both have their place. The red is a bit more rock/punk and the blue a bit more jazz/pop. But as kids I love them exactly the same 😂.

Un très bon agricole de soif. Bien fait, bel équilibre. A ce prix valeur très sûre.

Ziemlich rund wenn auch für meinen persönlichen Geschmack etwas zu holzig/ würzig. Wird vielen schmecken aber ich finde es schade das die frischen Zitrusfrüchte bereits nach relativ kurzer Fasslagerung so leise geworden sind.

Un bon rhum vieux que ce Depaz! Des odeurs floral et un goûts tout aussi floral plus que la canne à sucre d’ailleurs . Il se boit simplement et pas la peine de glaçons ou autre bref à boire sans modération !

Robe claire et limpide. Nez très marqué sur le houblon et la vanille, très flatteur. La bouche confirme le whisky 🥃 presque trop ! Peu de place pour le rhum, c’en est même déroutant !! Une touche agrume (Orange) qui reste plaisant. Finale chaleureuse.

Un VO avec un rapport qualité prix imbattables. Le nez est attrayant et laisse présager une dégustation tout en rondeur. La bouche est épicée (clou de girofle/vanille), avec des notes boisées et légèrement grillé. La finale est dans la continuité du reste de la dégustation. Elle est ni longue ni trop courte. Pour moi c'est vraiment une porte d'entrée dans le monde du rhum. Alors certes ce n'est pas le rhum parfait... mais à ce prix là, on peut en boire et en profiter fréquemment.
