but, as it turns out, I can't stand agricole! I feel like the pungent grassiness is exactly what they're going for, but combined with the hot and extremely oily prune flavors that come across the mouth, this just is not a pleasant drink for me! I really don't want to rate this down with Captain Morgan because the difference in quality is night and day, but in terms of overall enjoyment, I think it's, unfortunately, an apt comparison.
Great grassy agricole, goes well in a daiquiri with Ango 7
If you're used to molasses-based rum, you may find this stuff, which has zero molasses, shockingly offensive. The first time I tasted it I threw up a hairball. There is no amount of lime, sugar or mixer which can improve the flavor. It's unaged liquid grass, after all. You know, like what cows chew on all day. A lot of folks love unaged agricole rum but when it comes to this stuff, I have no love to give.
This is wicked stuff - smells like wet cut grass, tastes like battery acid, but I suppose if you're French and this is what you grew up with...
I once tried making rum with a homemade still. It tasted just like this, I threw it out, I thought it was contaminated.
This is not a as over powering as most agricoles are.
Surprisingly pungent on the nose, almost overpowering the cut grass notes expected in the style. Reminiscent of some Jamaicans, but with the overripe fruit swapped out for grassy herbaciousness. On the palate, slightly sweet and very vegetal, again with some herbacious flavors following. Unctuous and savory. Finish is long and herbal, with notes of thyme and mint hanging around the longest. Really delicious on its own, and absolutely fabulous as a ti' punch or as the agricole component of a traditional mai tai.
Un super blanc. Sans doute moins exceptionnel que leur autres cuvées. Mais excellent quand même.
Fairly clean and crisp.
Smell is sort of mild.
Not a specific flavor jumping out
Rhum très sucré. Dans un ti-punch limite la sucrosité présente suffit à elle même. Bon rhum d'entré à un tarif bas. 6,5.

A decent rhum agricole blanc

I bought this to compare to my first artisan cachaca (see my review on Novo Fogo Silver for comparisons) and also to find out how in hell the aroma of molasses comes through on rums distilled only from sugar cane juice. The aroma of molasses on this one is extremely faint and is outweighed by the floral and grassy tones. The taste has no trace of molasses at all, but still has floral and grassy notes. All I can say is that aromas of molasses may be a by-product of distilling sugar cane juice and varies in degree by brands.
Don't even think of using this to sip neat. It was meant for Ti Punch, like the kind that I downed multiple shots of on a party boat in Guadeloupe way back in 1989. If anything, this rhum will bring back some memories. As for Ti Punch, it is the only way to disguise the flavor of this rhum, which is equal parts rhum agricole blanc, lime juice, and simple syrup. The Brazilian caipirinha made from cachaca is similar except that it requires ice and Ti Punch does not. All this rhum was made for is a penalty free drunk by downing shots. If it were more readily available, then the Captain Morgan/Bacardi college crowd would gladly jump ship for this one. For those that hate added sugar, this one is for you!
