HSE Sherry Oloroso Finish 2004
"Sehr schön ausgewogen" is the recurring verdict — the sherry finish sits well without burying the agricole underneath. Expect grapey dried-fruit and nutty oxidative notes over a still-present cane spine, with brown sugar, spice and a light glue note. Dry and long for 45%, though a couple of tasters catch a bitter edge on the close.

Balanced sherry-finished agricole, dry and long Most find it balanced and dry, with the Oloroso well integrated rather than dominant. A few call the finish a touch bitter or unfinished; good value for the age.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a other surprisingly good rum. Naturally sweet and I think even a beginner in the Agricole world woul like this one. A young rum that is pretty complex of its age, fruity with spices, yum. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Yannick D.
Excellent rhum sherry
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le finish a été fait durant 1an en Fûts ayant contenu avant du Sherry : terme anglais pour le Xérès (Vin blanc d’Andalousie). Et plus précisément des Fino (15,5%) et Olorosso (18%) : des vins de xérès mutés avec des eaux de vies. On est à l’opposé du Finish La Tour Blanche, le nez est sur les fruits secs et le boisé. Avec des notes madérisées. Un nez intriguant. Et en bouche, c’est une agréable surprise. C’est équilibré, on retrouve les notes boisées du nez, des notes de Sherry, de la chaleur. C’est sec et long. On a une sacrée belle longueur pour du 45%.
Review by ElReyTristan
Au nez c’est bien marqué sur le vin mûté Xérès, comme son plus jeune cousin le Port Cask. Mais ici point d’arômes de fruit rouges, les arômes de vin liquoreux, de flore, de noix et d’oxydation prédominent. Avec une belle rondeur et une certaine gourmandise apporté par des notes de sucre brun et de caramel. En bouche le rhum est bien intégré et il est bien équilibré avec son finish. A la différence du finish porto ou le Rhum se faisait clairement mettre KO par le porto ici le match va se jouer aux points… En bouche on retrouve ces arômes oxydatifs bien équilibrés avec la sucrosité et le jus suffisamment puissant et complexe pour supporter ce finish Sherry. En fin de bouche la longueur est correct mais l’amertume prédomine, dommage ce clap de fin laisse un petit goût d’inachevé ou de vite terminé…
Review by Johannes
Sehr schön ausgewogen, Sherry Finish sehr gut eingebunden, nicht zu dominant, schöne Klebstoffnote.
Review by Agricoler
Kleines HSE Tasting: Gutes Sherry Finish immer noch präsenter Agricole. Für mich rund aber nichts wovon man eine Flasche bräuchte. Gewürzen sind sehr prägnant sowie fruchtig traubige Noten gepaart mit leichten Karamellnoten.
