Depaz VSOP

Aroma is not very pleasant. First taste is typical agricole with many wild fruity and wooden tones. Body is not very complex but nice. Aftertaste is my favorite part - long with fruity and appricote tones.

The Depaz VSOP is produced using fresh cane juice and bottled at 45%. Nosing reveals notes of cane, vanilla and spice. Palate is quite forceful and juvenile, pretty spicy, dry and oaky and especially smoky. Also the long finish shows clearly the smoky notes. So you get something nice and & real in your glass. For an Agricole Rhum it has surprisingly little grassy notes.

De los rhum agricole, el mejor que he probado. Muy fresco, piña, vainilla. Terciopelo en la boca y un agradable quemazón.

This is one of the better agricoles. Aged for 7 years, bottled at 45%vol, with a nice lightly golden amber hue and clingy legs.
This rum possess one of the most appealing aromas out there, no matter if wer' talking agricole or molasse based. It's a delicate fruity, grassy mix of sweet pineapple, peach, pear, vanilla and light caramel with a dry sprinkle of oak, nutmeg and pepper. Unbelivebly nice and the essense of how delicate agricole can be.
The medium bodied taste is absolutely no disapointment either. It' carries a lot of the notes from the aroma with a similar composition, but not quite as sweet. It's intense, full of flavour and attacks with a little spicyness at the end, as tobacco notes and the woody tannin's take centerstage in a lengthy finish. Briliant balance if your into agricole. By the way what a shame they updated the bottledesign, the old green "wine" bottle was original and kinda cool.

Agricole 7 Years Old
Aged for 7 years in oak casks, flavors of vanilla, dried roasted fruit and tobacco.

If you like Agricole rum, you won’t find much better than this. Smooth and wonderful.

I think it is difficult to rate this one. There are things that i like, but also some things that I did not really like. In overall it turns out what I expected.
Nose is fruity, light, typical Martinique Agricole flavors. Bit too dry and I could use more complexity, more roundness and in overall a bit more power in taste and nose. There are better Agricoles out there, but it’s good for the price.

Láhev vzhledově neodpovídá, ale tohle je asi nejblíž k tomu, co mám (Depaz VSOP Réserve Spéciale) a co jsem zde nenašla. Drsnější chuť agricole rumu.
