Depaz Private Cask (Premium Craft Spirits Selection) 2010
"Trop de bois pour moi," one taster sighed — and that's the split here. This 11-year Depaz agricole from Martinique leads with heavy oak, then sugarcane freshness, menthol, pepper, vanilla and dried fruit, with leather and dark chocolate underneath. Bottled at 58.2%, it runs dry and tannic with a long finish. Lovers of the distillery call it authentic; others find the wood dominates.
The community says- Fresh menthol lift
- Long finish
- Very oak-forward

Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Dry, woody cask-strength Martinique agricole Divides Depaz fans: a fresh, spicy, menthol-laced agricole many rate highly, but several find it too woody, too dry and astringent, with the alcohol not fully knit in.

Review by Émile Shevek
Red fruits and wood on the nose.The palate is really explosive with very intense woody notes of leather, peat and cork. It all remains very dry.Tannic, earthy and slightly bitter on the finish that remains long and persistent, but I like it less than on the palate, could have reached 93.Empty glass smells of esters and wood
Review by Jacques etdom
Très sec (beaucoup plus que le millésimes 2010). Une certaine finesse, mais il ne se passe pas grand chose en bouche.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Très bien avec ses notes de bonbon arlequin, juste un poil trop prenant, pour pinailler, car c’est vraiment excellent!
Review by Vincent D
Un rhum particulier que ce Depaz. Le nez est très boisé mais étonnement sucré et fruité. Beaucoup de vanille. Un fruit doux type prune, peut-être griotte. En bouche, trop de bois, trop astringent. C'est dommage car le cuir se mêle à une sensation de fruit façon crème glacée plutôt agréable. Grosse longueur également. Trop de bois pour moi. Dommage. Merci à Rodolphe pour le sample.
Review by Double Barrel
Very pleasant Depaz, very natural, the French oak brought its dose of spice and a hint of vanillin.My preference is still for the previous vintages in the SC series (the 2000 in the lead) because for roughly the same price there was more concentration and complexity.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Full of taste, integrated alcohol but .. come on, I hate that wine like taste!
Review by Johannes
Without direct comparison very high level! I must soon compare with the other private casks.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Depaz authentique et fougueux. Le nez a une palette aromatique large, on retrouve d’abord les épices (muscade, cannelle, poivre, vanille), la canne à sucre et ses notes de fraîcheur (sur le menthol), puis le bois, le tabac et des notes herbacées. Les fruits viennent au fur et à mesure, avec en avant-garde les fruits secs et les agrumes, puis les fruits tropicaux et la pêche. Un joli rhum agricole très versatile. L’attaque en bouche est très franche et directe, les notes herbeuses et terreuses donnant le pas dans les premiers instants. Le palais chauffe avec les épices et le boisé, tous deux très marqués (poivre, vanille, réglisse, cuir). Le chocolat noir, les fruits secs et le caramel viennent apaiser un profil rustre, dont l’alcool pourrait être un peu mieux intégré. La finale est très longue. Les notes végétales, légèrement amères, dominent les débats, suivies du cuir, du bois, des épices, fruits secs, du cacao et des tanins. On retrouve un côté presque astringent en fin de bouche. Un rhum agricole dans la pure tradition, qui ravira les amateurs de la distillerie.

Beau produit avec un beau nez mais une longueur assez courte.
