    "This rum is a positive surprise!A very intense fruity and herbal nose with some sour dough!On the palate it spreads oily creamy and intense! Initially fruity , then changing into the herbal (with slight spiciness and anise) 71.3% ....they are barely noticeable, great!The finish is then classic Agricole (grassy / hay / steppe)If you take into account here even the price... a clear buy recommendationAnd immediately there is a Ti Punch with it 😋"

    "not quite as complex and fat as the saint James brut de colonne but still incredibly tasty and easy to drink for 71.3%! reminds me somehow of sour red currants, plus red / pink pepper, nutmeg and lemon verbena..unfortunately, it is also gone again quickly otherwise the rating would have been higher!"

    "A Brut de colonne rum that is as charming as it is deceptive. The nose shows a vegetal and floral freshness, with notes of olive, grass and hay. Sugar cane, pepper, citrus (lime), candied and fermented notes round out this very suave profile on the nose, which doesn't show the slightest aggression. The rum shows a greediness and a surprising roundness in mouth despite its 71,3%. The flavors, similar to the nose, remain homogeneous and propose a complete and balanced profile. The finish is both dry, slightly spicy and very fresh, floral and vegetal. A very good premium white rum"

    "The aroma is an excellent blend of citrus fruits, flowers and grassy notes. The first time I tasted this, I would have just written murder in the rating, but now and after warming up with Dillon 55%, a perfectly fine rum. Lots of nutmeg, sugar cane and citrus. Very dry and good rum. You need to drink to this one and give it a second chance eventually."
