    The Courville Rhum Vieux Agricole, a 1960 vintage from Martinique's La Thibault distillery, enchants rum enthusiasts with its rich aroma of vanilla, orange peel, and tropical fruits. Despite its 25-year barrel aging, users find it smooth and balanced but sometimes lacking in complexity. A blend of woody and citrus flavors with a long, fruity finish makes it enticing. This historic agricole, produced in a closed distillery, offers a unique tasting journey, ideal for those appreciating subtle elegance over high alcohol intensity.

    "Ein weicher angenehmer Agricole, der mehr auf der fruchtigen Seite steht. Etwas spĂ€ter gesellen sich am Gaumen leichte Fass- und Bitternoten dazu. Im Abgang erscheinen dezente pflanzliche Aromen. GefĂ€llt mir ganz gut
 auf jeden Fall ein StĂŒck Geschichte im Glas (Destille seit langem geschlossen) PS: fĂŒr so einen alten Rum mit geringem ABV hat er noch richtig Dampf"

    "Un nez beau mais doux, beurrĂ© avec des agrumes, Ă©corces d’orange et pamplemousse rose, de l’ananas, un cĂŽtĂ© herbacĂ© et un cĂŽtĂ© doux, mielleux. La bouche est aussi un peu beurrĂ©e et douce et toujours le cĂŽtĂ© agrumes assez marquĂ©. La finale est longue, trĂšs longue ce qui est rare avec surtout des arĂŽmes fruitĂ©s. Le boisĂ© reste lĂ©ger mais soutient les autres arĂŽmes. TrĂšs beau rhum qui donne envie d’en boire sans soif ! L’ABV relativement bas ne ne gĂȘne pas du tout."

    "#4235 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. I wonder where this bottle came from but it was a nice surprise once revealed. Fruity with really nice flowery notes. I'd say it was close to what you pick up when you walk into a womens perfume store. Love the cherry in the profile, which is a bit light and I would have loved a higher ABV. Draws nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some coconut, wet grass and chocolate."

    "Damals zusammen mit einem Teil der Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Eine schöne RaritÀt. Das war es aber dann auch leider schon. Nichts desto trotz ein sehr schöner Rum mit tollen Aromen, aber vermutlich war die Erwartungshaltung einfach zu hoch."
