Rhum JM VSOP 4-Year

This reminds me of fresh mowed grass on a Sunday morning if that grass with lined with fresh granny smith apples and I'm sitting in a woody church attic with the neighbor girl.

I pour a glencairn of this every weekend.

I sometimes will use it to flavor my mai tai recipe with something agricoley and oaky.

Well, it's my first agricole rhum ever, so I might be not that useful in terms of professional opinion. The flavour is good, it is sugar cane all over the nose. You can imagine the taste would follow the mood, but it is not that cheerful. Maybe some harsh notes, too much spirits, it's 43˚ alcohol in the end of the day, so it figures. I am personally very tolerant for strong drinks, and it doesn't bother me much, but I haven't find the depth of the taste I had high hopes for. Will taste it later for sure, hope I'll get the gist of this particular liquor in the nearest future and change my mind for the better.

My personal score for this rhum agricole is about 64-65 out of 100, so I rate it 6/10 for now.

Schönes Honiggelb im Glas.
In der Nase zart und lieblich. Mit viel Liebe getoastetes und mit Karamell übergossenen Holz das vorher mit Apfelschalen eingerieben wurde. Weisse Früchte, gelbe Blumen und frisch gepresstes Zuckerrohr betören dich vollends. Die Insel ruft !
Am Gaumen geschmeidig, elegant und harmonisch. Leicht gebranntes Karamell mit Bourbon Vanilleschoten veredelt, tropische Früchte ganz leicht kandiert liegen in einem aus Zuckerrohrblätter geflochtenem Korb. Der Ruf der Insel wird lauter !
Im Abgang bleiben Karamell und Vanille sehr lange, Früchte und Holz bleiben auch für länger. Du musst auf die Insel !
Ein fantastischer Agricole, der für sein junges Alter überzeugt, Für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Beautiful honey yellow in the glass.
In the nose delicate and sweet. Wood toasted with love and doused with caramel previously rubbed with apple peel. White fruits, yellow flowers and freshly pressed sugar cane fully beguile you. The island is calling !
Smooth, elegant and harmonious on the palate. Lightly burnt caramel refined with bourbon vanilla beans, tropical fruits very lightly candied lie in a basket woven from sugar cane leaves. The call of the island becomes louder !
In the finish, caramel and vanilla remain very long, fruit and wood also remain for longer. You must go to the island !
A fantastic Agricole that convinces for its young age, For beginners and connoisseurs.

Interesting and different tase. Little bit to strong.

Slight sweetness in nose with a surprising and intense oaky, peppery and spicy note of burning taste.

It's not the best JM out there but it's well done and anyway. XO is certainly a best choice

I wanted to switch things up from my normal mai tai recipe (using Clement VSOP), and this provided a beautiful balance to it. On its own, it's got a nice clean flavor, not too sharp and not overpoweringly of sour fruit, but that is definitely there.

Mit første bekendtskab med Agricole og Martinique. Spændende smag, ikke lige hvad man forventer, men der kan noget og vokser op mig. Jeg kan godt lide at den ikke er sød.

Overraskende god, jeg plejer ellers ikke at være så meget til agricole, men denne her er ok.

Love how it reminds of diplomatico reserva exclusiva
