Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Earthy agricole notes, but i'm not a big fan of too much candy notes in a agricole rum. This was too much candy for me. Not bad not great.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. I liked this Agricole rhum. Lots of candy notes on the nose and the palate was also quite tasty. ABV of 46% is OK, but would have liked it a bit higher since the finish was rather short.

Bonne bouteille, très doux mais un peu trop réduit pour moi. Longueur très courte.
