     Third tasting: score remains constant, on the palate nice fruity notes (cherry and plum)Second tasting: today seems to me the nose with sweet and floral notes, very nice ( 2)!Solid Agricole rum but no surprise. On the palate quite alcoholic despite only just under 48% and slightly bitter but not unpleasant.Finish only medium length and strongly on the toasty side.

     The big surprise with this rum was how fruity it was on the nose. For an Agricole I'd say extremely fruity. Overall a well balanced Agricole that is easy drinkable with and overall nice profile.

     Rarely experienced such a wonderful fruity nose in an Agricole! The palate is clearly dried fruit and herbaceous grassy! He comes along pleasantly light, the finish is then typical Agricole grassy and herbal
