"First off the price matches what you get. A medium fruity rum with a warm/spicy touch on the palate. I like the light nutty notes and the empty glass reveals even stronger notes of chocolate and wood."

"Un petit rhum sans grand relief mais bon quand même. Après c est très court en fin de bouche dommage"

"A nice improvement to the Karukera Gold I had in comparison. It is a bit more balanced, more creamy but has the same dry sugarcane note accompanied by wood."

"07.2024 Erster Eindruck: fruchtig, holzig Nase: reicher Cocktail an Früchten, weich, warm, Gras Gaumen: scharf, adstringierend, holzig Abgang: mittelkurz, unbeeindrucken Gesamteindruck: allein für die Komplexität der Aromen in der Nase gibt’s die 7,0 – ansonsten sind gereifte Agricoles nicht mein Ding. 2018 Einer meiner ersten Agricoles, als Station auf der Trinkreise durch Dave Brooms „Rum – the Manual“. Hat mir damals nicht gefallen."
