This is a lovely and very well balanced rum and once rested you get the full experience. Make sure to save the empty glass for a few hours and then nose it again to get stronger notes of chocolate and spices. The nose is balanced, fresh and fruity with tobacco and light wood and chocolate. The chocolate is more obvious in the empty glass after a while. The palate is complex and very well balanced and fresh with wood, dried fruit, spice and light chocolate and coffee. The finish is long and oily with wood, dried fruit and chocolate. Price to quality is very good.
What a complex, balanced and in-depth rum.... An aroma spectacle from the nose to the finish ! I am simply thrilled away !One of the best Agricoles I could try so far
Un très grand rhum agricole. L'équilibre entre la douceur et la fraicheur est parfait. Le boisé n'est pas trop présent. Le tout est délicieux.
Second tasting: I like very much, today I find in the aftertaste even Calvados! ( 2)Nose: the first thing I notice is that the alcohol is very restrained, nothing bites and stings the nose. And then there is a striking similarity with sweet wine (Trockenbeerenauslese)Palate: nothing more of sweet wine but strong alcohol and much barrel influence and floral notes. Slight resemblance to cognac.Finish: cool, the impression of sweet wine comes back again! Very good rum, a bottle I would not buy. For me it is too woody and too expensive, but I'm glad I have a sample.
