Have had this bottle for a while in my rum bar unopened as well as most of the bottles on my wishlist.
Decided to open it now just to see if it’s time to increase my Dillon shelf.
I think it’s a smooth and quite complex Agricole.
The nose is quite sharp and I think chocolate dominates. On the palate and the quite long afterburn you also can recognize vanilla, coffee and wood.
As a summary it’s good value for money for an Agricole, and I will increase my Dillon shelf.

Visited the Dillon Distillery while vacationing at Martinique. Distillery tours were closed for public, so got the Dillon XO 12y from a local grocery store. Very nice old school bottle and label design. Traditional dry Rhum Agricole notes followed by grass, oak and floral bouquet to your nose and palate. Strong burn at the end. Rhum Agricole lovers can easily add 2 points to my score.
The smell is quite alcoholic and taste similar to some irish whisky with taste for peat.
Rhum agricole XO de chez Dillon, 45°.
Le packaging est quelconque et ne met pas vraiment le produit en valeur.
Belle couleur brun-acajou.
Nez agréable et riche, miel, vanille, fruits confits.
Attaque douce, sucrée puis montée en puissance.
Viennent alors des arômes de cacao, pruneaux, tabac...
Le tout avec un boisé agréable et une longue finale de canne.
Très bon rhum, même si je préfère le "grenadier", plus léger.

Netradičná rumová špecialita... 8 out of 10
Veľmi pútavý agricole rum, čiže rum vypálený zo štavy vylisovanej z cukrovej trstiny. Zreje v malých dubových súdkoch, čo je výrazne poznať vo vôni aj chuti. Rum má svetlejšiu zlatú farbu. Po naliatí som ho nechal chvíľu oddýchnuť v pohári, aby sa rozvinuli všetky arómy. Má 45%, čo ho radí medzi silnejšie a výraznejše rumy, ale veľmi mu to pristane. Vo vôni dominujú rumové pralinky, sušené ovocie, či pražené orechy. Tiež je cítiť drevo. Chuť je veľmi vyvážená a silná, na jazyku cítiť vanilku, hrozienka a celý záver je lemovaný tónmi dubového dreva. Tento rum je skôr suchší, čo by mohol oceniť rumový fajnšmeker, krorý má rád nevšedné rumy. Toto je presný opak rumov typu O&O. Môžem len odporučiť vyskúšať.
