8.6/10

8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get, is an agricole rhum, that's dry, a bit astringent, with red fruits as grapes, raspberries... and herbal with tea notes. The next layer is woody/roasted with dried fruits, prunes, medicinal(metallic and smoky), toasted notes and milk chocolate. The rhum becomes spicy, is now fresh, flowery and round, elegant. When we air it, the touch of orange peel joins the game and caramelized candied nuts, vanilla and a pinch of cinammon. Tropical fruits are mildly present with passion fruit... Rich and complex rhum. 8,7:On the palate, round, syrupy, quite sweet and balanced rhum is waiting, first with spicy/pepper and dry attack, a bit waxy, with banana, tea, grass, cocoa, leather. . Agricole with medicinal notes are quite noticable. Prunes, raspberries are juicy, the wood is toasted, roasted and caramelized with toffee, warm...and a touch of bitterness. Very complex. 8,4:The finish is long and dry, some spiciness is here, dominated with dried, tropical fruits, medicinal, nicely balanced with toasted, roasted palate, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and tobacco... Edit:18.7.25, 30.8.25, 😋

Good 12-year-old Agricole that offers everything you could wish for despite the low %. The grassy notes are discreetly restrained here. Extremely round and balanced overall, I would strongly recommend it to beginners as an Agricole starter. Unfortunately not quite cheap.

This Agricole reminds me very much of the older Agricoles from Saint James with approx. 45% ABV. The aromas of light spice and woodiness, as well as leather, are almost identical. And I like that very much! A successful bottling, but just a little too expensive in comparison

Un assemblage de Maison La Mauny qui tire le meilleur de ses Millésimes et de ses origines. Le nez est intense et complexe malgré le faible degré d’alcool. On décèle une belle compotée de fruits sur les fruits tropicaux, les fruits rouges, l’orange et le pruneau qui tapissent les narines. Le bois rôti et les arômes épicés se mêlent à cœur joie dans la danse avec la douceur du confit et du caramel. C’est un rhum délicat, rond et pourtant très expressif au niveau des arômes. Le palais débute sur quelques notes agricoles qui sont vites supplantées par le boisé rôti, le chocolat noir, le tabac et les épices (cannelle, muscade, vanille, poivre). On retrouve un côté mielleux conjointement avec les épices qui n’est pas désagréable. Les fruits tropicaux reviennent avec la banane, l’orange mais aussi des notes de pruneau pour un supplément de gourmandise et de douceur. L’alcool est beau être à un degré bas, on ressent bien toute la complexité et la subtilité des arômes en bouche, ce qui est très appréciable. La finale est de bonne facture, élégante, légèrement tannique mais toujours équilibrée. Le tabac, le cuir, les herbes, le chêne rôti, les épices, les fruits exotiques et les notes mielleuses de pain d’épices se fondent parfaitement pour donner une finale homogène. Un très beau représentant de la Maison La Mauny qui combat efficacement les clichés de la « jolie carafe » et du faible degré d’alcool.

8.7/10

Very agricultural nose. Dominant woodiness, citrus zest, oak. Light prunes. The alcohol seems light, too. On the palate, everything explodes at once. Wood, cooked, zest, pepper. Very delicate and balanced. I only had two small cl in my glass. I think I'd need more to explore this rum further. Medium-long finish on which leather finally gives way to delicate vanilla. Superb. Beautiful intensity for a rum with such a light ABV.

Edit: unfortunately the first bottle is now empty. But nothing has changed in my opinion, I think it's a great rum for beginners as well as for nerds. For the low ABV, what it delivers is in a class of its own. For me, it's one of the highlights of this range, and I'm really glad that I got myself a second bottle. I always enjoy drinking it now and again.
