    an absolutely lovely rhum agricole. well aged with loads of dried fruits like prunes or raisins. mixed perfectly with all kinds of woods and spices. one of my preferred aged rhum agricole.

    The wood can be pretty dominant but not a bad rum.

    Un profil sur le bois mouillé assez gourmand et relevé par une belle fraîcheur. Le profil est génial mais ça manque de texture et de caractère.

    8:On the nose the aromas explode in your face from the very first moment. Both fresh and deeply spicy, the nose is very woody and expressive. It succeeds in combining strong notes of velvety honey with intoxicating power. The woodiness is finely spiced and very classy, like a cigar box. Still in these very woody tones, we now smell the slight smoke. Licorice and a mix of dried fruits, including apricot, diffuse their aromas in this warmth. Aeration confirms the complexity and richness of this rum. Peanut paste adds thickness and the finesse of a stone brandy shows another sign of distinction. This is a concentrated, generous and fragrant rum. The chocolate is gourmand, the cane sophisticated and concentrated to the point of becoming a golden, sticky resin. 8,5:The palate is natural and raw. This old rum manages to retain the soul of its youth, with a peppery cane. It is both complex and smooth, with astringent wood and melting tannins on the tongue. The dried fruit is savory and mellow, the prune is fleshy, but the spices are lively enough to sustain the rum's ardor, which is diffused without losing its intensity. 8,3:Candied cane, dried fruit, licorice and mellow tannins never leave the palate once tasted..
