    How does this rum taste?

    This Martinique VSOP from Dillon lines up vanilla, barrel, and spice on the nose, moving to more vanilla, wood, coconut, and a subtle smoky touch on the palate. Community tasters find it approachable—@Timo Groeger highlights a "würzige Nase, Vanille sticht heraus," and TheJackDrop says "je n’en attendais pas grand chose mais honnêtement c’est vraiment sympa." A few mention dried fruit and prunes, but overall it's the interplay of wood and gentle sweetness that stands out. Some compare it to other agricoles, noting its light floral character and integrated alcohol.

    The 5yo Dillon VSOP Reserve du Comte Arthur Dillon have been replaced by a bottle named just VSOP in their new range. It’s maybe the same Rhum, but it’s not confirmed. The one tasted by me is the old one.

    Nr. 24 des Adventskalender von La Route des Rhums. Ein solider Agricole. Würzige Nase, Vanille sticht heraus, außerdem etwas Fass. Am Gaumen dann neben dem Holz/Fass wieder reichlich Vanille, aber auch etwas Kokosnuss.

    La bonne surprise, Je n’en attendais pas grand chose mais honnêtement c’est vraiment sympa. On a de la vanille et du bois, mais également quelques fruits, peut être de l’ananas, et un petit fumé en complément: Cool.

    Goûté en aveugle avec l'Avent 2024: S'il s'agit bien du 5 ans basique que j'ai goûté. Sympa, léger floral sans plus Nez frais et floral, Bouche identique, paraît légère en alcool, bien intégré. La longueur est courte et fraîche. Il m'a un peu fait penser à un Marsolle merisier ou un Damoiseau subprime 2008 en moins fruité .
