Rhum JM VSOP 4-Year

Well, it's my first agricole rhum ever, so I might be not that useful in terms of professional opinion. The flavour is good, it is sugar cane all over the nose. You can imagine the taste would follow the mood, but it is not that cheerful. Maybe some harsh notes, too much spirits, it's 43˚ alcohol in the end of the day, so it figures. I am personally very tolerant for strong drinks, and it doesn't bother me much, but I haven't find the depth of the taste I had high hopes for. Will taste it later for sure, hope I'll get the gist of this particular liquor in the nearest future and change my mind for the better.

My personal score for this rhum agricole is about 64-65 out of 100, so I rate it 6/10 for now.

This reminds me of fresh mowed grass on a Sunday morning if that grass with lined with fresh granny smith apples and I'm sitting in a woody church attic with the neighbor girl.

I pour a glencairn of this every weekend.

I sometimes will use it to flavor my mai tai recipe with something agricoley and oaky.

This rum is great. Smells of oak, fruit, and some spice. Taste is short lived, and has a dry bite to it with some oak char.

Un des vieux agricoles avec le meilleur rapport qualité prix. Le fut de bourbon est très présent.

To be fair one of my first bottles of rhum Agricole so dont have much to compare it with. The flavor profile was smooth, woody and grassy with a hint of nutmeg and clove. The taste did not linger long. Good starting point for a bottle of its price.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 12/20/18. Aroma of acetone and old lace. Amazingly smooth. Amazeballs. Rich buttery spices. Grassy aroma, tingles the mouth. Earthy, peppery. So good!

Lots of smoke. Lots of wood. Peppery and somewhat spiced. Grassy.

At The Rum House in NYC. Nice rum list. This JM is good. It has that Agricole earthy nose. Grass and honey. Smooth with nuts and a hint of caramel. Really solid rum. Bite is beautiful and balanced. Finish is short but smooth with som tobacco notes. Good stuff!

Super heavy oak influence. Amazing how it's overoaked at 4 years. Still retains some Agricole notes.

Agricolo giovane ma che rilascia una buona dose di aromi e profondità già dai primi sorsi trasparendo la sua personalità innata
