    RumX advent Calendar - day 19 The kind of agricole I love, well balanced and tasty, despite ABV is low. In this rum, sugarcane and wood melts perfectly, with nice chocolate and cacao notes. This would be a great daily dram if it's price wasn't that high

    14.12.2019 A nice get together in a summerhouse with family and friends and rum for some of us. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, round, light wood, faint roasted, sugarcane, orange, light citrus, light dried fruit, faint floral. Palate Light, balanced, sugarcane, light wood, dried fruit, medium dry, light grass, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, light wood, sugarcane, medium dry, light vanilla, faint caramel, light orange.

    Ein Agricole aus der Kategorie "gefällig". Bleibt durch den geringen Abv nicht so lange weiß aber zu gefallen das man einfach gern nochmals dran nippt. Schöne Balance

    RumX-Adventskalender 19.12.2023 Blind tasting: This rhum looked familiar to me. With <h>, because I thought it was an Agricole from Martinique, namely RX1229. After all, I was exactly right with my estimate of the ABV. 😉
