Coming from the 18 year, the 23 is noticeably tougher. You can tell it's age. But I truly can't say I like it much. more than the 18. Each one has it's own quirks. Considering the price, I would probably rather buy the 18, but neither will disappoint.

Actually I'm not sure of this is a 7 or 8 out of 10. Was good but still not convinced to get it a second time

Deep nose, good taste with hints of vanilla, salty butter, brown sugar with some spices.
Interesting choice if you want to go beyond the sweet rums but still want some sweetness in it.
It’s a good one!

On an cost per ounce basis, this is the best Agricole out there, and arguably the best aged rum at its price point. This has become my go-to when I want to introduce noobs to aged rum.

N: candied sugar, almost some bubblegum. Great nose. I like it. T/F: smooth, not much alcohol, sweet but not too much so. Solid, if a bit less going on than in other higher end rums.

Trochu na mě výraznější chuť po použitých sudech. Jinak příjemné tóny sušeného ovoce, karamelu, vanilky. Celkově velice povedený rum.

It is a fine rum to sip on with a good buddy, but for the price I expected way more out of it

Just not my kind of great. I never quite found my way to this one.

Not very sweet, dark bitter chocolate tones, a bit alcoholic, nice smell.

Any rating lower than a 9 for this rum is nonsense! It's a godsend...and King of the Agricoles!
Oak, vanilla, and caramel are the dominant flavors with hints of brown sugar, molasses and maple syrup. The nose is almost candy-like. It finishes like silk, smooth and luxurious with no bite at all and with a pleasant tobacco note. This is not a hot or spicy rum and despite its 23 years in a barrel the conspicuous tobacco note is not burnt or foul tasting, more like a very well maintained high quality cigar. It has a deep cherry wood color and a thick, rich body that sticks to the glass. This rum needs to breathe a bit before drinking, I say at least a half hour. The next day I chilled it in my freezer and it was amazing, more candy like.
This is a sipping rum and I know its not the smartest thing to do with a rum such as this but if you add it to Coke you'll have Vanilla Coke with a kick! I'll be buying this rum again next week... I'm glad to have taken this one off my wish list. For $42 a bottle this rum is actually under priced!
Edit: I've always said the best way to really get into a rum and discover its character is to get hammered off of it! I did that this weekend. I woke up and there was that beautiful tobacco note lingering in my nose and the taste of vanilla beans in my mouth. Then, three hours and two Gatorades later I got out of bed. Yes, this is a very fine rum...but it delivers a crippling hangover! Play with caution.
