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."

"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."

"#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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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!"

"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."

"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 !"

"Le nez est très fruité. La canne, le bois et les épices fortes arrivent en bouche. La finale est plus sombre. L'ensemble manque un peu d'harmonie."

"Un rum discreto, purtroppo la parte alcolica al palato è un po’ troppo esuberante. Al naso è un po’ più sfumata. Ha dei sentori interessanti ma non è certamente il miglior rum agricolo che si possa bere. Certo il prezzo non può mon essere considerato. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è infatti buonissimo"

"Sehr zugänglicher Rhum Agricole. Süßlich, frisch, fruchtig und etwas holz."

"Ce Dillon XO est plutôt plaisant et assez gourmand au nez, la bouche aussi dévoile une facette assez gourmande mais surtout très boisé. La trame du rhum agricole Martiniquais reste clairement identifiable."
