Dillon Rhum vieux agricole XO

It’s a great Rhum, but it don’t reaches the level of the precursor, the XO Hors d’Age Grenadier. The nose is aromatic and fruity with aromas of vanilla. At the palate it’s complex, round, sweet, woody and spicy with flavors of vanilla and cinnamon.

Spirits circus 24.05.2024 Very similar in taste profile to the Brut de Fut 2013. A little less powerful, of course. Great for the price, can be recommended to any beginner.

A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. A sweet nose with agricultural markers and fruit, but also soft caramel that brings a lot of sweetness. On the palate, citrus fruit, light oak, vegetal notes and a touch of sweetness.

Irgendwie hab ich ne leichte Fehlnote im Mund. Ansonsten recht unspektakulär

Great Agricole as a starter or for relaxed enjoyment. Harmonious on the nose: woody, spicy, caramel, chocolate, fruity. Intense enough on the palate, balanced and easy to drink. Delicious roasted aromas are added on the finish, with barrel notes prevailing for a long time.

A perfectly decent entry-level Dillon. The nose is concentrated with agricultural and earthy notes, spices, wood, caramel and a hint of fruit. Relatively soft on the palate, this Dillon nevertheless offers a fine balance of fruit, spice and caramel. The finish, with the same tonalities, is moderately long. The 9 years of ageing have produced a well-balanced, controlled rum at a very affordable price. An excellent introduction to the world of agriculture.

#5036 08.01.2025 Enjoying a few samples at home. Nose Light wood, spice, plums, dried fruit, sugarcane, light earthy, cinnamon, faint nutts. Palate Light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light tannins, medium spicy, vanilla, faint mint, dried fruits. Finish Medium long, round, wood, cinnamon, light tannins, spice, light sugarcane. The empty glass has wood, light tobacco, light cherry and some vegetal notes. Price to quality it pretty good in my mind.

Heureusement qu'elle n'est pas chère.... Peut-être le pire XO en agricole que j'ai bu.

Un très bon XO sûrement sous-côté ! Je comprends bien la médaille d’or au concours agricole, c’est équilibré mais il y a du caractère: pas mal de bois, de fruits, d’épices. Finalement moyenne mais satisfaisante !

Guter solider Agricole. Ich bevorzuge jedoch bei weitem den XO 12 yo

Fruitier and about rounder than the new 9-year-old.

War mir erst zu scharf, dann sehr fruchtig im Nachgang. Wurde dann sehr interessant und mit jedem Schluck besser.

I don't like it that much, was expecting more. There is a slight vanilla and caramel note on the nose and palate. But I find it very agricole-like and has a strange, bitter aftertaste.

Rapidement gouté sur le Rhumfest. Bon XO martiniquais à un prix vraiment sympa. Mais je pense que ce n'est pas ce que j'acheterais sur ce type de produit. Je mettrais une quinzaine d'euros de plus et j'irais chercher chez HSE ou La Mauny, plus dans mes goûts sur les XO.

Relaxed Agricole xo but overall quite unspectacular. The Depaz XO brings more to the table here!
