Aroma visualization from community tastings
Domaine de Séverin XO
People who want an easy, wood-forward agricole without the grassy bite will feel at home here. Six years in cask gives it vanilla, dried apricot and a cognac-like prune note, with banana and citrus underneath. Several tasters call it a Guadeloupe rum that "se boit tout seul" — pleasant, a touch sweet, but simple, with a finish that fades fast.
The community says- Soft woody vanilla
- Fruity nose
- Short finish

How does Domaine de Séverin XO taste?
Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Easy woody agricole, simple and short finish Well-liked as an easy, woody agricole with vanilla and yellow fruit. The recurring gripes: it leans simple, a little too sweet for some, and the finish drops off quickly.

Didn't come in expecting much, but for my palette this is fantastic. A strong fruity aroma followed by a soft fruity taste and finish. Only negative I can think of is that it's too sweet.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: ** Taste: * Overall: ** ”45% Guadeloupe” Having tried this again there is a strong tobacco/leathery scent on the nose along with some vanilla, banana and an alcoholic resemblance to cognac. The nose is better than the palate, here I only get the smoky woody taste and none of the fruity flavours the nose hinted at.
Review by Léo Delek
Un de meilleurs rqp du marché. La rondeur d'un xo tout en laissant la canne s'exprimer. C'est le nouvel embouteillage (depuis la fermeture de la distillerie) mais il reste très similaire à l'ancien que j'avais adoré. A l'odeur du bonbon et pâtisseries. En bouche les épices et les fruits se font plus présents avec la vanille, le cafe, les fruits jaunes et le melon. Le tout avec un bois trés fin. Pas de fausse note sans pour autant en faire un rhum d'exception.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein sehr schöner Rum, gefällt mir. Ist in der Nase überwiegend holzig und nach Fass riechend, aber auch etwas Vanille lässt sich erkennen. Am Gaumen irgendwie ein dunkler Rum, Holz, sowie würzig und rauchig, aber auch dunkle Schokolade ist erkennbar.
Review by Stefan Persson
I’m a fan of Agricole from Guadeloupe and this one is not an exception, but it can’t compete with the best ones. The nose is fruity and woody with scents of banana, citrus and vanilla. At the palate it’s sweet, fruity, spicy, woody, fresh and round with flavors of banana, citrus and vanilla. The finish is quite long, dry and spicy.
Review by TheJackDrop
Arf, nez sympa avec une petite poire cognac qui fait plaisir, bouche un peu simple mais efficace, par contre la finale est super courte. On a vite une impression de rhum un peu plat et sans grand intérêt… manquait pas grand chose !
Review by passlemix
Un guadeloupéen peu gras comparé à d'autres. Un joli boisé relativement doux et une sucrosité très agréable. Un agricole assez simple sans prise de tête qui se boit tout seul 🙂

Here you get what you pay for. Fruity and sweet with spices and lightly roasted wood. I would probably use this one for mixers and baking.
Review by Vincent D
Un XO agricole qui ne m'a pas convaincu. Trop boisé. Pas une grosse identité.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è leggero con frutta(tropicale e non), tabacco, cioccolato al latte, barile leggermente tostato. Al palato è fruttato in primo piano, poi ha qualche sentore medicinale, qualche spezia, leggermente boscoso e floreale sul finale breve. Si sente la diluizione, non ha abbastanza carattere, ma è piacevole da bere. Nel bicchiere vuoto frutta e legno
Review by Cédric Meyers
J'ai cette bouteille depuis 2 ans et j'ai l'impression qu'il est devenu plus piquant au fil du temps. Ça reste un bon rhum fruité, épicé
Review by Christophe Fertel
Reste énormément en bouche plutôt très boisé
Review by Rodolphe
Très végétal, la canne reste très présente, c'en est surprenant pour un Xo d'ailleurs. Au final ça manque un peu de complexité. C'est pas mal mais sans plus.
