Aroma visualization from community tastings
Maison La Mauny Rhum Vieux Agricole 1979
Grassy sugarcane honey up front, then anise, tobacco and toasted oak with a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a mature 1979 Martinique agricole that trades punch for balance — several tasters call it beautifully even, and one who'd just poured a 60%+ Caroni was surprised how much presence it holds at 43%. Dry, tannic, long on the finish.
The community says- Creamy full body
- Balanced complexity
- But: Lacks punch at 43%

The look inside the bottle
How does Maison La Mauny Rhum Vieux Agricole 1979 taste?
Aggregated from 8 community reviews.
Balanced old agricole, creamy but low on punch A well-aged agricole most tasters call balanced and full-bodied. The one recurring gripe: at 43% it lacks punch, and cask-strength fans wish there were more of it.

Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Habe gerade zuvor einen Caroni mit über 60% verkostet und muss sagen das der La Mauny mit seinen 43% erstaunlich viel Power hat. Super ausgewogen und vollmundig. Wer Agricoles mag wird hier nicht enttäuscht und darüber hinaus ist es auch noch ein Stück Geschichte.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
My notes on this one were, balanced, complex and full bodied rum. Funny floral touch and the Cork in two bottles broken.
Review by Buddudharma
Ein schöner Agricole mit tollem, cremigem Mundgefühl. Stimmiges Profil aus Holz, floralen Tönen und Agricole-Touch. Großes Manko für Liebhaber der Fasstärke ist der ABV. Hier fehlt einfach deutlich Punch und Intensität, das drückt die Bewertung erheblich. In Fasstärke wäre das sicher ein toller Rum.
