Dillon XO Rhum Vieux 12 Ans

Fruity, balanced, gentle vanilla and oak—classic easy sipper.

The aroma bursts with ripe fruit, gentle vanilla, and citrus, shifting to a nuanced palate of warm spice, wood, and a touch of sweetness. Consistently rated for its value and balance—an approachable agricole that exceeds expectations for its age and price.

    How does this rum taste?

    Outstanding value for quality
    Rich fruit and vanilla profile
    Approachable and well-balanced

    Lively fruit and vanilla notes lead Dillon's XO Rhum Vieux 12 Ans, a Martinique agricole that balances fresh cane and wood with creamy dessert touches. RumX tasters highlight its layered nose—apple, overripe banana, and citrus—followed by a palate of spice, cocoa, and subtle vegetal character. Time in the glass reveals more complexity, with a finish described as fruity and gently woody. A relaxed, balanced sipper that's praised for value and as a friendly introduction to aged agricoles. Worth exploring if you enjoy smooth, fruit-forward rums.

     Good value for money. This Dillon was the one that made me increase my Dillon shelf. The nose is rather sharp with aromas of chocolate and hints of fruit, wood and spices. At the palate it’s complex, round, woody, sweet and smooth with flavors of chocolate, vanilla and coffee.

     Tasting evening at Dr.Django: This Agricole from Dillon is too much on the perfumed floral side for me...on the nose as well as on the palate...there is also an artificial side to the palate. The finish is relatively short and unspectacular

     Wow. Impressive with the 40%. Super velvety and full-bodied. Great older Agricole with lots of sweet tea and grass notes.
