I did not know there was a rum produced in the state of Georgia. Even though I live in Florida less than 20 miles from the FL/GA border I had not heard nor seen Richland Rum. I ran across it on a trip to nearby Thomasville and decided to purchase a bottle to try.

First thing I noticed was the aroma. Frankly, I suck at trying to describe how something smells when it is complex like a well-made rum. This is one of those rums. The aroma is very pleasant and I swear it seems I detect a little whiff of cinnamon (as in cinnamon toast) in there. I'm probably wrong but the bottom line is that it has a very good odor.

On initial taste I detect a buttery sweetness combined with distinct oak. Not a major burn but a nice warmth that lasts rather long. The finish goes back to the mild sweetness with vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch characteristics.

Overall, a darned good rum. Versatile as well. Makes for a wonderful sipping rum and works awfully well in Coke Zero. BTW, according to the tag attached to the bottle, I purchased rum from barrel no. 46, bottle no. 353.

As a Georgia resident, I was hoping for a little more out of this rum.

Never heard of it never had it before. But when in Georgia letโ€™s give it a go. More of a Whiskey Bourbon style rum with a little funk. I think extra aging would help especially in this price range. At the end of the day glad to have it in my collection.

Very good quality rum and made in the US which was quite a surprise! Usually I go for tradition Latin American rums but this was right up there as a solid competitor

These are single barrel expressions so they'll vary by cask. Ivr had some that I'd rank 8 or 9 and some that are closer to 5.5 or 6.

I donโ€™t quite get the agricole flavor, which I am not usually fond of; but note that others appreciated it in their reviews. Straight I get a little sweetness as I start, but then the afterburn removes it. Not as interesting mixed. Between a 5.5 and 6 on my scale. I'll keep trying agricole's and see if my appreciation changes.

Came across this while in Atlanta, had never heard of a GA rum so bought a bottle. Surprised by the results as I was expecting something quite rough. It *is* initially a little harsh with quite a slow lingering burn but it mellows out. Very Woody and not too sweet, I'm terrible at describing these things but I quite like it! It's not going to replace my El Dorado or Bundaberg Solera but I prefer it to some of my other bottles.

This rum is a keeper. Smoke and spice on the nose, a beautiful amber in the glass, the taste begins with oak and tobacco and has a long lingering, sweet finish reminiscent of cane juice. I canโ€™t bear to drink it any other way than neat. My favorite American rum right now.

To start out my bottle came from barrel 168 with a bottle number of 290. I haven't had a lot of experience with Agricole or single barrel rums but this is a really good rum. The nose is pleasing and the taste is caramel, oak flavors. This offering is not overly sweet but in the best way possible. If I had any critique on the rum I would like a lingering back end of the flavors experienced. that being said I really enjoyed this rum. Good Job Richland.

I find this one to be a favorite for me. So smooth and satisfying to the palate. Drink it with crushed ice for the best effect and it makes a great Dark and Stormy....but why mix it. Pricey but this is no swill. Great, tasty, and it goes down good!
