Dillon Brut de fût 2013
Made for people who already enjoy aged agricole and want it at full strength without it turning harsh. This 9-year Martinique cask-strength pours dark chocolate, red currants, walnut, vanilla and a good dose of glue on the nose. Give it air and the 62% settles down nicely. Spicy, woody and lightly sweet, with a long finish. Not one for agricole beginners.

Rich, spicy cask-strength aged agricole A big favorite for value — most find it intense, balanced and surprisingly easygoing for the strength. A few note the alcohol needs air or a drop of water, and complexity is only middling.

Edit: tried again, still couldn't really convince me to rate this one higher. I don't think it's too bad, but it doesn't knock me off my feet either. I find that the grape dominates in the mouth and displaces the other flavors a little.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
What is that please for a board of an overproof Agricole?! And that at under 100€ 0.7L? Mega good stuff!!!!😍Incredibly Harmonious, dangerously quaffable and elegant!No complexity monster but simply Sau tasty and priced extremely fair!
Review by Tim
Im Vergleich zum Dillon XO hebt dieser Rum die für einen Agricole außergewöhnliche "Gefälligkeit" auf das nächste Level. Intensive Vanillenase mit Schokolade, roten Früchten, Nuss und Karamell. Ergänzt von etwas Röstaromen und Tabak. Sowas kenne ich von Portfinishes, hm. Im Mund nicht ganz so trocken wie andere Agricoles und wieder schön fruchtig, dunkel und würzig. Zurück bleiben Röstaromen, Schokokade, Trockenfrüchte, süße Beeren und Tabak. Top Preis-Leistung und mega lecker. Nicht der typische Agricole!
Review by Joachim Guger
Tolle Nase, getrocknete Früchte, Schokolade, viel Klebstoff. Sehr komplex, rund. Holzreife ist gut integriert. Die 62% können sich nicht verstecken, da schaffen ein paar Tropfen Wasser Verbesserung. Im Mund dann wieder Klebstoff und Chemie, der Alkohol sticht natürlich. Gefühlt ein sehr reifes Destillat ( Assoziationen z.B zu einem Neisson 12 ans) und dann kommt wieder der Jugendliche Ungestüm eines starken Agricole blanc. Nicht ganz Oberliga, aber um den Preis ein Hammer. Edit: Die Flasche ist nun ein paar Wochen offen, der Rhum wird ausgewogener.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
After resting this one it really opens up with a treasure chest of flavours. Fruit, spices and flower notes blend very well with the other flavors. Overall a very good rum. What I loved about this rum was how the flavours developed in the empty glass. The price to quality is very good.
Review by LukaŽiga
9,2:On the nose, greatness from the first moment. Complex, smooth, elegant and balanced agricole with sweet sugar cane, red fruits, berries.Just a bit spicy and roasted with gunpowder, floral with geranium, then some tea is here, later turns to black tea. Aeration brings out more woody notes with resin, nuts, vanilla, there is licorice, some tobacco, leather, pear and some little medicinal touch. After a nice rest, new notes shine bright with pencil shavings, violet, fruits are now candied. Wonderful! 😋👌 9:On the palate, the attack is soft, waxy and fruity with citrus, banana, pear, sugar cane and some tea. Nicely balanced agricole.Becomes woody, spicy with nutmeg and a bit dry, the wood is toasted with vanilla. Becoming more dark and roasted with chocolate, licorice, nuts, a bit bitter with resin and herbal. The sugar cane is caramelized now with stewed yellow fruits, turns into the fruit compote. It is fresh, a bit minty with some coconut and freshly cut grass. Great🙂. 9:The finish is woody, fruity, dry with dried fruits, as the wood is toasted. Sugar cane is sweet and tasty. The end is very fresh and nutty with vanilla, vegetal notes. Almost perfect 😋👌.Great alcohol integration..
Review by Galli33
My first rum from Dillon so far. And aged agricole with an ABV >60%🤤😜😎🥺 I really like it! Great mix of agricole notes, tobacco and dark chocolate. The high ABV are well noted but also integrated well on the other side.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Schön ausgewogen. Hier gibt es von allem, was ein Agricole ausmacht, etwas. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Man merkt ihn zwar, aber nicht negativ. Gerade wenn man dem Rum etwas Zeit gibt oder 1,2 Tropfen Wasser hinzufügt. Gefällt mir.
Review by RumTaTa
Zweite Verkostung: Es bleibt dabei, dass ist ein sehr guter gelagerter Agricole zu einem fairen Preis! Blind hatte ich von der Nase her auf Neisson getippt aber der Gaumen passte nicht dazu. Wieder eine Gelegenheit zu lernen... Nase: wunderbar frisch und fruchtig aber auch Fass und Walnuss im Hintergrund. Sehr schön ausgewogen und nicht vordergründig Agricole. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr ausgewogen und vielschichtig nur sehr schönen Fassnoten nur der Alkohol ist eine Spur zu dominant und sorgt für einen pfeffrigen Eindruck. Im Nachklang wiederholt sich die enorme Ausgewogenheit. Ein sehr guter Rum und das einzige was ich ihm vorwerfen kann ist, dass er für einen high proof Agricole zu gefällig ist.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Dillon ist angesichts des Preises schon sehr beeindruckend… er ist recht intensiv..der Alkohol ist erstaunlich gut eingebunden, jedoch nichts für Einsteiger in die Fassstärke bei Agricoles. Es überwiegen die würzig holzigen Aromen mit einem Hauch von roten Früchten. Im langem Abgang setzen sich spät die grasigen Aromen durch. Top-Agricole
Review by w00tAN
Was für ein schönes Teil! Ein wirklich toller Agricol super rund und lecker. In der Nase fruchtig, floral mit leichter würziger Süße. Im Mund sehr ausgewogen, angenehm würzig leichter floral mit mittellangem Abgang. Für das Geld (~100 Euro) einfach unschlagbar! Must Buy!
Review by Santo
Un dillon brut de fût impressionnant! Vraiment délicieux, un bonbon ! avec une super intensité . Une vrai réussite !
Review by mto75
der Dillon braucht Standzeit bis der Alkohol an der Nase weicht, dann kommen nussige Aromen, dunkle Schokolade, eine schöne, grüne Agricole-Frische und Früchte (irgendwo zwischen Johannisbeeren und Trauben). Am Gaumen habe ich Muskatnuss, Kakao und eine gewisse, dem hohen ABV geschuldete, Süße. Der Abgang ist vielschichtig und langanhaltend. Gefällt mir ziemlich gut!
Review by cigares
A nose with varnish, banana and chili pepper.A quite different palate with quite clear bourbon flavors.A long finish with still bourbon, kumquat and well integrated oak.A very nice rum with character and balance.Thanks Oliver (?) for the sample.
Review by Johannes
At the beginning it does not seem so present, a bit watery, then in the middle part comes all the power. Alcohol very well integrated, complexity is somewhat lacking.
Review by Timo Groeger
Letzter Rum heute. Ein schöner Brut de Fut. Klasse Teil. Schön fruchtig in der Nase, am Gaumen dann eher Richtung Muskatnuss, Vanille, Gewürze und Holz. Alles in allem aber ein echt leckerer Rum von Brut de Fut. Lecker.
Review by Agricoler
Sehr guter Agricole zum super PLV. Tolle rote Johannisbeere in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann in getrockneter Form. Hier besonders hervorzuheben ist das es vielleicht nicht der klassische Agricole ist. Das zeigt die tolle Bandbreite der Agricoles.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Le premier Brut de fût de la marque Dillon. Le nez est intense et propose un équilibre entre les fruits rouges, la canne à sucre, le tabac, le bois, les épices et les notes florales. Les épices et les fruits prennent le pas en bouche, suivis par le tabac, le bois. Le rhum est gourmand, souple, intense et sec, l’alcool y est bien intégré. La finale, assez longue, se pare d’une pointe de cacao très agréable. Un premier exercice réussi pour la marque, qui plus est accessible à un prix dérisoire.

Quite s trong start. But there is a not perfect integration. And gets really one sided late in the tasting. It is a really good single cask but i dont get the hype around this bottling. But maybe it is just not my cup of tea.
