    A great aged agricole, tasted a couple of years later and still impressive

    This rum is lightly dry and has a long finish. Fruity with spices and it has a herbal touch with honey to it. Very well balanced and complex. A lovely rum and a very good buy in my mind.

    C’est doux ! Le nez est très doux avec des notes végétales. En bouche l’alcool est très bien intégré sans morsure ! On retrouve le côté miel herbacés . Une belle finale tout en fraîcheur. Très joli rhum !!

    Rather elegant agricole with some peppery heat
