Depaz 2002 Hors d'Age 11-Year

First smell/taste is spices, grassy agricole sweetness following shortly. Some caramel, vanilla, mango and oak detectable.

Love the lasting burnt sugar cane taste on the tongue. Classic aged agricole. Definitely worth trying if you have a chance. Obviously not in the Filibuste league, but beating Clement/JM/STJames VOs/VSOPs left and right. 8.5

Аромат: корица, растворитель, 1,2-Пропиленгликоль, прелая солома, сладкий мускат, шоколад, есть и ноты свежей травы, талая ледниковая вода.
Вкус: Обилие морской соли и вцелом приятная солёность, мощная сухость и терпкость, горький кофе, мускатный орех, горечь скорлупы орехов, сложные эстеры, ещё и танины дают о себе знать.
Сладость: 7 из 10
Послевкусие: супер сухое, нитрокраска.
Итого: такой же узнаваемые Depaz с своим солёным профилем. Есть желание использовать воду, вода чуть-чуть улучшает его свойства.
Очень мощный комплекс сочетания горечь, соль, сладость!

Bought a sample of this to see what a bit more age in the cask brings to the Depaz party. I really rather like the VSOP, but with this, I'm not convinced.

Nose is muted. A bit of grass and solvent. Very soft. Taste has an appreciable, though pleasant burn. The flavours themselves rather take a back seat though. Bit of pepper, then lots of oak, then grass. Finish is super dry, with a lingering burn.

For me, this is less flavourful and less interesting, than the VSOP. The extra age seems to have muted the flavours, rather than enhancing them. Glad I tried it, but also glad I didn't punt for a bottle

Mon 2e Depaz, que c'est bon! A essayer si vous avez la chance de goûter.

Bon Rhum vieux et excellent rapport qualité prix !

Nose: Very fruity , some wood, clearly a rhum agricole
Palate: Spicy attack
Finish: long, still pretty spicy, getting fruitier and somewhat smoky at the end

Ce rhum est un excellent rhum. Epicé, avec une note type clou de girofle et d'autres épices. Un délice avec un chocolat noir. La longueur n'est pas exceptionnelle sinon la note serait encore meilleure.

This rum is an excellent rum. Spicy, with a note like clove and other spices. A delight with dark chocolate. The length is not exceptional otherwise the note would be even better.

Visited the Depaz Distillery while vacationing at Martinique. Distillery tours were closed, so got the Depaz 2002 from a local grocery store at EUR 95 per bottle. Pretty decent old school bottle and label design. Light golden color. Traditional very dry Rhum Agricole notes followed by grass, strong 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.

il est plus doux au nez qu’au goût , excellent rhum
