„Full, round Agricole with pronounced wood maturity and - uncharacteristically for an Agricole - red fruits like cherry.Very well integrated alcohol. Overall very good.“

„Lovely release and I especially like the flavours in the empty glass where the chocolate and spice stand out. Nice and intense nose and palate.“

„Charming nose, with a marked prune note, but the mouth is less successful, the woodiness is a bit astringent.“

„Schön hoher ABV. Das treibt die Aromen. Die Nase ist kräftig und intensiv. Holzig-würzig-fruchtig. Dabei ist das Holz mit einer feinen Holzsäure vordergründig. Dazu deutlich Essig und Pfeifentabak. Trotzdem kann ich eine ganz leichte Karamell-süße ausmachen. Die Frucht ist eher bei Kirsche und Dörrpflaume. An Gewürzen habe ich Kümmel und Backgewürz. Gaumen: auch schön intensiv. Angenehm holzig mit etwas Leder und Tabak. Es kommen wieder die Kirsche, die Dörrpflaume und die Traube durch. Hat dadurch etwas von Rotwein. Oh ja, alte Eiche übernimmt. Auch schön würzig ist er mit Lakritze und Piment und leicht Menthol. Im Abgang holzig und fruchtig, immer mehr ins Grasige gehend. Höhere % tun einem Agricole so gut. Mehr davon, auch wenn ich noch nicht ‚meinen‘ Agricole gefunden habe.“

„I am continuing my little St. James flight, and find this one a bit better than the 14yo variant I tried earlier. It is less herbal, but has more fruit (especially with some drops of water).“

„Good Saint James. I really preferred the nose, very woody but also very greedy. In the mouth it's good, sweet because the alcohol is super well integrated. Marked by the wood, maybe a bit too much. Otherwise what is a pity is the lack of length. It passes right away...“

„An sich ein sehr guter Agricole. In der Nase sehr lecker, am Gaumen und im Abgang stört aber die Bitterkeit, daher Punktabzug. Ich werde mich dem Rum aber nochmals nähern, in einer Solo-Verkostung. Der momentane Eindruck könnte auch durch die andern heute mitverkosteten Rums verfälscht sein.“

„Deutlich gereifter Agricole. Holzig, bitter, Tabak, aber auch deutlich dunkle, getrocknete Früchte. In der Nase milder wie am Gaumen. Im Abgang weiter deutliche Bitternoten und Gewürze. Nicht ganz rund, aber durchaus interessant.“

„Když jsem poprvé ucitil vůni, byla hodně dřevitá, s příměsí něčeho jako kůže nebo orientální dřevo, koření…na první ochutnání velmi intenzivní chuť…trochu jako medicína - kapky proti kašli. na to, že je tomu 18 let a má 50% čekal jsem uhlazenější projev, ale teď mi došlo, že to je agricole…aha. Po odležení chvíli ve sklenici se projev trochu zjemní a vynikne plnost a dřevitost…“
