Dry, smoky, easygoing agricole A curious explorer’s agricole: light, dry and unsweetened with vanilla, apple, light wood, smoke and a grassy sugarcane core. RumX members see it as a versatile, affordable sipper and mixer.
Curious explorers who want an easy, affordable first step into aged agricole, prefer drier profiles and plan to use it both neat and in cocktails.
Those wanting big intensity, long finishes or very sweet, dessert-style rums; also not ideal for people who dislike light smoke or dry agricoles.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall it’s a very kind Agricole, maybe too kind. The nose is fruity, pleasant and floral but weak with aroma of sugarcane. At the palate it’s sweet, fruity and smooth with flavors of vanilla, grass and sugarcane. The finish is short to medium and smooth.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.12.2018 Enjoying samples at home. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, light wood, sugarcane, faint floral, faint chocolate, light menthol, berries. Palate Light, floral, light wood, light roasted, sugarcane, light orange, faint leather, spice, light chocolate. Finish Short to medium, light wood, sugarcane, light honey, light leather, faint chocolate, berries.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Tasting neat my new supply for mixing. This is very smooth, smell of honey and citrus, refreshing minerality with pepperness and anise. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by abaker-rum
This aged agricole has a bit of the expected vegetal aroma on the nose, but it is mostly covered by wood, vanilla, and apple. The taste is smokey and toasted with a shorter finish that is woody with spice. It tastes a bit like wood and smoke are masking some of the finer flavors of the rum rather than enhancing them.

Pour cocktails, pur ce rhum n'a que trop peu d'intérêt
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose hits first with vanilla and the dried apple chips you get in cereal bars. There's also some grassy sugarcane, tobacco and faint young wood. The palate has the vanilla from the nose, keeping things sweet. Followed by old oak, the apple for the nose, more subtle this time. Peppery towards the end. The finish is mid length. Moving from a note of hay in a warm barn to smoke. Interesting. I don't dislike this. Not your usual agricole from Martinique. Sweeter, less sugarcane forward.
Review by Mateusz
Great rhum in my view! I love the Rhum blanc flavours and taste and it usually gets somewhat lost in aged rhums, but this keeps great balance of vanilla/barrel notes with grassy and floral notes of blanc. Recommend!
Review by Emil G.S. Munk
Very crisp agricole with a clear direction and style. A little low on ABV and the tasty is a little too weak but otherwise a very nice expression from Clément
Review by Solidfunk
Certainly smoother than the canne Bleu I just had. Dark copper pour. Rose water, dried apricot. Burns a little on the finish. Ok.
Review by Philipp F.
Beim Geruch sind für mich Früchte und Zuckerrohr ganz klar im Vordergrund, ich rieche saure Äpfel, Pflaumen und ganz klar Zuckerrohr. Gewürze vernehme ich her gar nicht, Hölzer wenn überhaupt nur eine leichte Sherryfassnote. Geschmacklich kommt er eher mild daher mit einer leicht rauchigen Note, ganz klar grasig, fruchtig und für mich sehr Nussig (Mandel/Bittermandel). Der Abgang ist im mittleren Bereich für mich, sehr angenehm, nussig und abermals die Sherryfassnote. Ich bin kein großer Fan von Agricole Rum, aber dieser hier ist wirklich sehr angenehm. Sowohl pur als auch als Mixer, vor allem für den günstigen Preis.

Plutôt dans des cocktails avec du sucré. Goût fumé mais un peu fade
Review by Jonas Kofod
Very smoked and earthy. Dry. Not my favourite in rum.
Review by Mickael Tourbot
Boisé, vanillé, bonne longueur en bouche, prix raisonnable, c'est mon meilleur rapport qualité/prix
Review by Boshuda
Clean, fruity, a tad grassy. Reminds me of Irish whiskey.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It is a "step up" in terms of complexity and sippability compared to unaged Agricole but maybe not a step far enough in order to truly be a sipper. More a premium mixer. Even then it perhaps misses some of the "funk" of white Agricole. A bit of a funny..."Read full review →
