Heavy, rancid, peanut butter?. Yet, somehow thin. Dark in colour but oak hardly noticeable behind the vegetal notes
I usually enjoy agricole funkiness but this rum relies heavily on less desireable fusel oils.
Its not vile, but its best poured in small doses to add flavour.

je lui trouve un goût tourbé, qui plaira aux amateurs mais pas forcément pour moi

Beaucoup l'apprécie, mais pas moi. Je n'ai pas aimé du tout.

Ruff, aromatisé, mauvais en drink. Très mauvais rhum
I prefer rum without anything else: no softdrink, no ice. But with this one that's not a good idea. I keep it to mix it someday with coke, probably. Don't even like it in my tea.

Taste is too sugary, plus it's got a nasty after-taste. It's (in my opinion) more to spice-up food like pancakes, than for your cocktail. hangover time

Nose: Woody, spicy notes mostly
It has been aged for 20 months in average in oak casks
Personally I believe that it is a very good addition to your own bar as a mixing Rhum given its price
(I found it around 20€), but I would never enjoy it neat

I had this one on a cruise ship way back in 1992 because it was the most affordable rhum agricole from the French West Indies. Little did I know that this was the French equivalent of Bacardi, aka rot gut. When I returned from the cruise, I even bought an entire bottle back at home in the hopes of improving on the bad sample on the cruise ship. It was still crap. The moral of this story is that when one wants to venture into the unique tastes of rhum agricole from the French West Indies, start anywhere else except for St James (and Negrita).

It smells like it tastes, like chalk with washing powder and rotten bread! 2/10 because the taste has something "interesting" fruity hidden in there. But never ever again ...
