La Mauny XO 6-Year

To replace a good Cognac

Mi è piaciuto molto, speziato e dolce allo stesso tempo.
Finale bello persistente.

agricole, vůně velmi příjemná, nasládlá ovoce, koření, chuť ostřejší, hodne chutný

It’s quite sharp in nose initially after warmed up. After that the fruitiness and vanilla takes over in nose palate and afterburn. The latter is then quite long and the vanilla is even more significant.
As a summary I would say it’s an quite elegant and pleasant Agricole which should be a concurrent to J.M. XO as a perfect start in the Agricole world.

Very good Rum. When Clement's single cask, I preferred this one slightly

This is a mild and balanced rhum agricole which is especially noticable as it has its origin in Martinique. The typical grassy notes are clearly present but not too dominant nor too heavy. Notes of wood, oak, vanilla and tropical fruits add to the aroma profile. Nice finish that continues the aroma profile of the palate. Clearly a very pleasant rhum that might be especially interesting for newcomers to the world of rhums agricole.

C est un rhum de qualité, un bon rapport qualité prix. Après c est un rhum facile à boire. Pour les puristes il manque un peu de peps, mais c est bien fait. Pour le même prix je préfère un Séverin plus original. Note 8.1

I enjoyed this very much indeed. Soft, not overly challenging but stylish, elegant, cognac-like.

The nose gets fruits, especially lemon. On the tongue, it gets a little rough and smokey. Oak? It reminds me of some whiskies I've had. I like that in a rum, though. The finishing is still some wood, mixed with dried fruits again. All in all: Well done.

another jewel from martinique, agricole, blend of 12 rhums aged minimum 6 years (and up to 10 years), rich flavours, in the nose at first something weird, in the mouth you know it s oak from the barrel,
i m always impressed how good are those aged agricole rhums while white ones are so harsh ...
