Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 26 Agricole Rum F.W.I (Ex-Gardel Finish)
One member calls this a "really good daily sipper," and that's the honest read. The nose wins everyone over — grassy sugarcane, plum, raisin, mint, plus roasted wood from the Gardel finish. The palate follows with vegetal, herbal, minty notes and dark fruit, though at 41.6% several tasters find it a touch thin and short on the finish.

How does Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 26 Agricole Rum F.W.I (Ex-Gardel Finish) taste?
Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Aromatic Martinique agricole, easy but slightly thin Loved for its aromatic nose and the earthy, minty Gardel-cask twist. The recurring gripe: low ABV makes the mid-palate feel watery and the finish a bit short.

This is really a good daily sipper, especially for argicole lovers. Nose: It’s start with super delicious smells! Like a fresh agricole mixed with a nice fruit basket (blum, raisin, pineapple, cherry) with a mint leaf on the top: Mouth: It’s more unspectacular and light/soft than expected, but well enjoyable. Finish: Medium long and dry with lovely agricole and lot of barrel notes with honey.

A classic good Agricole; I'm missing the special edges and definitely a few percentages here!
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: after about an hour in the glass develop aromas of buckwheat honey, I like better than the first time ( 2). Nose: first I perceive typical Agricole aromas and walnut. Then spices wood and then dried fruit.Seeeevery mild, alcoholic sharpness is practically absent.Palate: the rum seems watery in the mouth at the beginning. But that changes surprisingly: the flavors take over and then the alcohol is also feltAftertaste: it remains mainly Agricole notes hang.From Gardelfass I notice nothing, but also do not know what I have to look for. Possibly the barrel is responsible for the toasty notes.
Review by Timo Groeger
Schöner Agricole vom Rumclub. In der Nase haben wir natürlich Agricole, sowie Zuckerrohr und diverse Früchte. Am Gaumen gesellt sich dann zum Agricole wieder etwas Frucht, sowie Kräuter und vor allem Minze.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly sweet and nicely fruity Agricole. Very tasty and round. Horny with the gardel finish which brings the nice cola and caramel note.... Could only have a little more %.
Review by Mentalo
Surprisingly complex for its low alcohol content. A rather dry Agricole with few fruity notes. Barrel comes through, but I can't really do anything with it. The finish is unfortunately very short
Review by MarcT
A well made Agricole, that I had trouble having fun with. It is either hit or miss with aged Agricoles for me, it seems and I was either not in the mood for this one, or it just didbwork for me. It is solid, however.
Review by Jarek
Zweite Verkostung bestätigt den ersten Eindruck: Nase vielversprechend, am Gaumen zu dünn.
Review by Vincent D
A strange profile for this agricultural, very woody on the nose but also very fruity. It seems light and airy. On the palate, however, it's quite the opposite. Big wood, tobacco, spicy black tea. A slight fruity sensation at the back of the mouth, but above all these green, earthy notes. Too bad it doesn't stay on the palate very long. Nice. Edict: earthy but greedy. Vanilla. Rather pleasant. I'm raising my rating.
Review by Christoph
Despite the low ABV, it does not lack intensity in flavor. The Gardel barrel is clearly present here and harmonizes very well with the previously 4 years tropically stored Agricole from Martinique.
Review by Frank
Trotz des geringen ABV ist die Nase doch recht intensiv und voll. Der Ausbau im Gardel-Fass macht ihn besonders. Hierdurch habe ich auch zunächst so eine alte Holz-Note, etwas staubig. Dann kommen aber gleich schwere, süße und leicht modrige Fruchtklänge durch. Knubberkirsche und roter Apfel, dazu Rosine und etwas Brombeere. Hinten deutlich süß Richtung Zuckerwatte, gefolgt von zartem Zigarrentabak und einem Hauch Minze und vielleicht etwas Schokolade. Gaumen: überraschend intensiv für nur knapp 42%. Grasig-grüne Agrikolnoten sind sofort da. Hinzu kommt leicht bitter etwas Holz und etwas Tabak und Liebstöckel. Im Abgang wieder das grasige Zuckerrohr. Überraschend gut, insbesondere, da er so „schwach auf der Brust“ ist; wenn auch am Gaumen etwas einschichtig.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Heute habe ich die Flasche bekommen und musste sie einfach direkt verkosten. Schön fruchtiger Agricole mit den typischen Noten. Er ist sehr rund und ausgewogen. Wenn ich etwas bemängeln müsste wäre es vielleicht der leicht wässrige Eindruck. Ein paar mehr Prozent hätten wahrscheinlich nicht geschadet. Nichtsdestotrotz ist es ein toller Rum für einen erschwinglichen Preis.
Review by DosenZorn
Wow die Nase ist echt toll. Anfangs viel Frucht (Birne und Rosine), Agricole-typischer pflanzlicher Geruch, zum Teil Richtung Heu. Dann frisches Holz, beinah sogar etwas modrig und ein Gewürz, das ich gerade nicht zugeordnet bekomme. Am Gaumen überhaupt keine süße und im Gegensatz zur Nase kaum fruchtig. Frische Minze, pflanzlich und ein merkbarer Fasseinfluss, ohne zu bitter zu sein. Der Abgang könnte etwas länger sein und die Konsistenz ist etwas dünn. Sonst ein hervorragender Rum.
Review by Serge
Tolles PLV und guter Trink-Rum mit nettem finish. Bin jetzt fast am Ende der Flasche und habe immer wieder danach gegriffen. ABV etwas niedrig aber dafür mit doch tollem Geschmack. Der Rest geht in die Infinity Bottle …
Review by Agricoler
Exzellenter Agricole und das Gardel-Finish passt perfekt hinzu. Schöne Pflaumennoten und tolle Minzigkeit.Richtig schöner Sipper. Aus meiner Sicht eine absolute Kaufempfehlung dür eine Flasche. Das Beste finde ich einfach das dieser srum eine deutliche Abwechslung zu anderen Rums darstellt.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I bought one of these at the Rum Regatta in Flensburg after tasting a sample. At the price tag this is a very good buy actually. This rum needs to rest for 15 minutes to release its full potential. The nose is very fruity as well as the typical Agricole note trailed by roasted wood, spices and sugarcane. The palate is typical Agricole and warm with lots of fruit, wood, tannins, spices and nuts trailed by herbal and vegetal notes. The finish is medium to long with wood, fruits, tobacco and tea.
Review by Rodolphe
Très très beau nez, on est en Martinique. Le boisé très présent mais très fin et gourmand. Ça donne vraiment envie d'y plonger. En bouche ça confirme cette impression et du coup la gourmandise du boisé est un peu trop présente et le rhum manque un peu de complexité. Au final, le rhum est très bon et cette qualité à ce prix la est à saluer.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Leckerer und erstaunlich intensiver Agricole! Trotz des eher niedrigen Alkoholgehalts überrascht mich eine intensive Nase. Eindeutig Agricole, mit grasig-floralen Noten und Anklängen von süßem Zuckerrohr. Dahinter, quasi als Unterton, liegt eine dunkle Schwere, die mich ganz entfernt (steinigt mich nicht!) an alte Demeraras erinnert. Hier macht sich also wohl das Gardel-Fass bemerkbar und gibt dem Rum zumindest in der Nase deutlich Tiefe. Auch am Gaumen erst einmal recht intensiv und klar Agricole, aber auch hier wieder bittere und muffige Noten, die aber angenehm zum Geschmack beitragen. Im Abgang dominieren diese und wecken Assoziationen an Tabak und dukle Schokolade. Insgesamt ein schöner Rum, der mir gut gefällt. Als bekennender Anti-Fan von Finishes muss ich hier meinen Hut ziehen!
Review by Boletus
Ein echter Schnüffel-Agricole! Der Geruch begeistert mich auch nach wiederholtem Schnuppern mit seiner Mischung aus tropischen Fruchtnoten, feiner Eiche mit dünner Politurschicht und Anklängen an ein Nachmittagsgedeck bestehend aus Nussgebäck und Schwarztee mit Kräutern. Im Mund wird dies ebenso schön weitergeführt, wobei sich aufgrund der niedrigen Alkoholstärke doch ein etwas dünnes Mundgefühl einstellt, was in einem zwar leckeren, leider aber auch ein wenig kurzen Abgang mündet.
Review by Johannes
Really good easy sipper! The nose is extremely good and tends towards Gardel. Well-balanced, round Agricole on the palate. A little thin in the middle section. Long finish, again dominated by the Gardel cask with slightly bitter notes. Top value for money!
