Great Agricole! Not so much on the grassy side, but rather on the woody side, almost earthy and deep. Alcohol very well integrated. Despite the almost unmanageable number of different bottlings, HSE simply has it!

Considering the price, I was expecting something more concentrated, but this is a West Indian brut de fût, so it could have been a hell of a lot drier. In hindsight, it's a very good tasting rum, but not worth the price it's currently fetching on the net (from 250 to 550€)...

👃 Beaucoup de fruits confits, de la marmelade d'agrumes/d'orange sanguine, de l'abricot confit, puis des épices douces (cannelle, poivre blanc, clou de girofle). Une belle canne sucrée mélangée à un boisé subtil, c'est concentré. S'ensuit une petite touche saumurée sur l'olive verte du cake au jambon, c'est salin et gourmand. Une touche de figues aussi, un côté toasté/boisé. Complet et élégant. 😋 Etonnant, de l'orge maltée, sur la levure, la piqûre de l'alcool, agréable, quoiqu'un peu déroutante. C'est puissant, chaud, lourd, on sent certainement à ce moment-là l'effet de la chauffe "brume cuivrée". Le boisé est présent mais très bien intégré à l'ensemble des flaveurs du jus. Maintenant, des raisins à l'alcool qui évolue vers les cerises noires de la grand-mère plongées dans l'eau de vie. Rétro-olfaction : léger caramel doux, chocolat noir amer, café noir, noisettes et noix grillées. ⛳ Sur la datte confite chaude, limite réglisse, la muscade, un beau boisé noble, on revient sur le chocolat noir. 💡 Un très beau rhum agricole, de presque 15 ans tout de même, à la fois rustique, puissant et subtil.

Edit: Tasted again after a little oxidation, much better than I remembered. Lots of red fruit, cherry, nougat, some tannins that dry out a little but not too much, a background of menthol and blond tobacco. Top-notch! Perhaps the best rhum agricole I've tasted at home.

Tasting on a campside in the south of French. Big flavours in the nose. Somewhat acidic. Cherry. Port anf red wine. A bit whisky like too. Red fruits. Nectarine. Bigger than expected with this abv. Taste: very fruity. A bit artificial too. Chartreuse. Groene limonade (Dutch Reine Claude lemonade). Very different than I expected. Weird but nice. Sort of a blind tasting, because no internet here..might be a port cask or something. Challenging dram.

Great bottling with a successful mix of discreet wood, slightly acidic, fresh and present heavy fruit, spices and slight bitterness. The alcohol strength also plays along wonderfully, the integration is excellent and despite the rather low strength, the aroma always remains concise without becoming too thin. Very good.

Nice rum, I haven't had many of this profile or HSE in my glass so far. The nose is very inviting. The taste reminds me a little of a good Armagnac somehow. As I usually prefer rums with a higher alcohol content nowadays, I have to admit that I really like this one with "only" 47.6%. Great rum. Thanks Chris2302, that was yours, wasn't it? I think this Agricole is far too good to try as a mixer.
