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.
A typical Agricole. Here the distillate notes are absolutely predominant and the barrel storage tones go almost under. For my taste, this should still lie a few years
Dieser Rhum Agricole ist sehr speziell. Eine sehr komplexe Nase. Auch am Gaumen ein sehr komplexer Geschmack. Ein langer Abgang. Dieser Rhum Agricole ist etwas für Kenner und wiedereinmal ein gutes Beispiel, wie unterschiedlich Rhum Agricole von der Insel Guadeloupe zu Martinique sein kann. Ich hab gerade noch mal eine Geschmacksexplosion im Mund, mega intensiv... wow🥃
