"Overall an extremely elegant and smooth rum from Guadeloupe that I tasted at the Sweden Rumfest 2023. Many seems to believe it’s an Agricole, but it’s not it’s an molasses based rum. The Darboussier house started up in 1869 as a sugar factory and have taken its name from Jean Darboussier, a French trader and smuggler. This Hors s’Age is a blend of 6-8 years old molasses based column distilled rum that’s tropical aged in oak barrels, ex-cognac, ex-bourbon and ex-Armagnac."

Palate Round, sweet, light roasted wood, light citrus, spices, medium dry, light floral, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, lightly dry, sweet, citrus, spice, light floral."
"Unusually fruity for an Agricole. Light and pleasing. But for me it is still a bit too young / wild."
"Eine überaus fruchtige Nase für einen Agricole anstatt der typischen pflanzlichen Noten. Ich nehme viel Kirsche, Aprikosen und etwas Mango war. Geschmacklich dann sehr verwässert mit Mango, Zimt und Kirschbonbon. Abgang extrem kurz. Ein ordentlicher Agricole, aber mehr auch nicht."
