    How does this rum taste?

    The "Original Rum" from Labourdonnais Distillery in Mauritius is a 50% ABV rum distilled from sugarcane juice using a column still. Known for its agricultural style, it's appreciated for its aromatic sugarcane, fermented, and slightly sour scent. The palate introduces grass, sugar, and dried apricot flavors, with a noticeable alcoholic punch. While some users find it vibrant and suitable for cocktails, others comment on its sour and medicinal undertones. It's viewed as a well-balanced, powerful option for rum enthusiasts seeking an unaged, pure Agricole experience. Perfect for adventurous palates or as a defining component in Mojitos, opinions vary from admiration for its freshness to critiques of its bold flavor profile.

    Part of the tasting at the estate. This one is probably the best out of the whole set that I tried due to the reasonable 50% of strength, a maximum allowed on Mauritius. It is punchy with floral, earthy and fermentation notes. Some honey like sweetness.

    Ein sehr fruchtiger Geruch, Zuckerrohr, Banane, etwas vergoren, leicht floral und schwach alkoholisch. Der Geschmack ist ebenfalls kräftig nach Zuckerrohr, fruchtig, die 50 Prozent Alkohol sind etwas mehr bemerkbar. Ein wirklich gut ausbalancierter ungereifter Agricole.

    Interessanter frischer Agricole, eignet sich auch hervorragend für einen „besonderen“ Mojito

    Sehr guten weißen Rum, kann nur weiter empfehlen!
