    Rich tropical fruits, vanilla, and a hint of pepper shine in this rare, cask-strength Depaz Small Batch from Martinique. Seventeen years of aging deliver complex layers of candied fruit, floral notes, and subtle oak, balanced by a robust agricole character that rewards slow sipping. Worth discovering for those seeking a deep, rewarding artisan agricole experience.

    Unglaublich guter Fassstärke Agricole! Extrem Komplex und intensiv nach grünen und roten Chilis, etwas Kokos, Banane, Honig, Pflaume und Kirsche, sowie Ingwer und Kräuter. Das ganze geht im Gaumen genauso weiter und der Alkohol ist überraschend gut eingebunden. Dazu nicht zu holzig für einen so alten agricole. Im Abgang wird es etwas rauchiger, dazu kommt die geröstete Kokosnuss und etwas grüne Chili wieder zurück... Verdammt der macht richtig Spaß! 🤤 Wohl mit Abstand einer der besten depaz aller Zeiten wenn nicht sogar der beste!😍

    The needs time, in the glass and also when tasting!A very complex nose, which adheres to something old! Incredibly intense....also the palate is very diverse, from an old fruit, to wood to fine vegetal aromas...the same continues in the finish.... An excellent Agricoles!!! I am becoming more and more a fan of Agricoles at cask strength!!!

    Erstmal garnicht so ein typischer Agricole für mich jedenfalls. Sehr Würzig Pfeffrig in der Nase . Kandierte Früchte , Floral Blumige Noten . Sehr liebliche Süße legt sich in die Nase. Im Mund sehr kräftig Würzig und schön Fruchtig. Sehr lecker.... braucht aber seine Zeit im Glas .

    The nose is invitingly sweet (creme brulee!) and fruity. On the palate, the alcohol is evident and the flavor quickly moves towards wood and becomes bitter. This intensifies towards the finish. No doubt from the "technical data" a good rum, but no, with this Agricole I will not warm.The variant with 61.6% (RX5465) I like better, but will also not my favorite.
