    Agricole rum character

    Mauritius 9 Rum, crafted at the Labourdonnais distillery, is distilled from sugar cane juice using a column still and matured for 9 years. Bottled at a robust 57.9% ABV by The Duchess, this rum reveals a citrus, floral, and spicy nose, complemented by a fruity, dried fig palate with a spicy finish. While appreciated for its aromatic complexity, some find the alcohol overpowering and the maturation effect subdued. Users recommend allowing it to breathe for a balanced experience.

     Not recognizable as R(h)um, let alone as a distillate from Mauritius. Failed. Labourdonnais has a beautifully laid out small distillery with all the trimmings, but in my opinion they simply can't produce really good rum for discerning palates (but really fine spiced rums!!!). Update 2024-04-24: A really difficult rum. The actually quite interesting woodruff note is very one-dimensional and is also ruined by the sharp alcohol. No recommendation.

     sharp intense ginger, fully ripe mirabelle, some kumquat jam, mixed with light herbal notes and young wood, green pepper and cardamom, as well as buttery, raw cookie dough with rose water, very cool, finally time Agricole with bums!he needs some time to breathe, before the alcohol is very present and not so well integrated, but after some time it becomes really round 🤤

     #4552 16.01.2024 Enjoying a little sample now that I've decided to participate in the meet up in Steinhorst. Really looking forward to meeting some new faces and rummies. This is an OK rum but not one I'd go back to as such. A fruity profile that I think is out of balance. Nice floral notes and a pinch of chocolate in t he profile. The palate is warm/spicy with an earthy note. The finish is medium long and spicy with fruits. The empty glass has light tobacco and faint leather.

     Farbe: Weißwein Geruch: Zu Beginn süß und schwach fruchtig (Litschi) und floral. Riecht nach Zuckerrohr und Zitrusfrüchten sowie etwas Vanille. Zudem deutlich floral. Insgesamt aber recht zurückhaltend. Geschmack: Im Mund pflanzlich mit Zuckerrohr und etwas Vanille. Beim Schlucken dann intensiv und kräftig, eine Explosion von Aromen. Alkoholisch-scharf. Holzig, kräuterig und sehr würzig mit viel Ingwer, Chili und Pfeffer. Abgang: Mittellang und trocken Pflanzlich, würzig, holzig und alkoholisch. Im Nachgeschmack trocken, pflanzlich, salzig und bitter. Vom Geschmack her finde ich ihn recht lecker. Der hat richtig Bums. Vom Geruch her ist er mir etwas zu schwach und wenig ausgeprägt.
