Not usually a fan of agricoles but this one I just had to try. Well worth the (reasonable) price and highly enjoyable. I recommend sipping rather than mixing as this rum's taste deserves to be enjoyed fully.
I’ve been meaning to try this rum for the longest time but never got around to trying it…I regret that now.
On the nose it has the definite vegetal aroma you’d expect from an agricole. The first sip is way more complex than I expected. You have a sweetness that has hints of toffee, orange and caramel but also has a nice dryness to it.
I’ll definitely will put this in my rotation.
Smells like spiced butterscotch. Tastes exceptionally smooth. Cant put my finger on the spicey notes but it doesnt matter because it tastes so good. Loving it!
Enjoyed a straight pour, but it lacked the depth and complexity my spoiled palate wants at this age and price point. I don't get much "agricole" from it; vanilla sweet, maybe a little too much so for me, with some tobacco and less oak than you'd think. But if you want something approachable, this certainly fits the bill; I can't see anyone seriously disliking it.
Ordered this neat at a casino bar in Las Vegas.
Nose is quite pleasant, the wood from the aging comes through and there’s a hint of caramel.
Sips very smooth. Clean finish, a little bitter.
Good choice if you want to sip on a cane rum.
Served neat, the nose is interesting but a bit sharp. Something semi-sweet but not directly like caramel / molasses. Bit of earthiness, maybe faint hint of clove or star anise. However that sharpness is nowhere to be found in the rum until the after taste, and it's a pleasant kick. This is quite dry and much smoother than the nose would indicate. Not juicy, sweet, or rich, but definitely packing good flavor. Does not lean too heavily in any direction between spice/sweetness/bitterness. This may be a solid benchmark to judge dry rums upon.
Served with ice/water, the nose loses most of the sharpness but unfortunately also seems to mute many of the other notes. The same follows for tasting: it tends to mellow out a bit too much for my preference. Although the flavor is still quite good, it's just a muted, shackled version of itself at that point.
Stick to this neat and you have a winner for dry rum. I would give this about an 8.5/10, anything noticeably better than this will tend to eat your wallet up real quick. If dry rum is not your thing, then I would point you to maybe El Dorado 15, or some offerings from Ron Diplomatico.
The Barbancourt Estate 15 year has a heavy palate of molasses and brown sugar. It is great for sipping or mixed in drinks.
Easy smooth drinking rum. Used in Haitian rituals. I'd awaken to it. 💀

Not all that unique, I guess. Pleasant, dry, and not overly sweet.
