*I must state that I've never had a rhum agricole from Martinique, so I cannot compare tastings between the two countries.* I poured a few ounces into a glencairn and let it breath for a few minutes. On the nose, I get some light sugary vanilla notes. There's a bit of ripe banana and citrus in there too. I, also, smell that grassy note many others have found. Its not off-putting. It reminds me a bit of some 100% rye whiskeys I've tried. The taste has that initial grassy note too. Its followed by some sugary sweetness and a tinge of salt. There's a hint of dried tropical fruits, and then it fades into oak and spice. The finish is long, dry, and leaves a tingling, peppery feel. This rhum is very interesting and a departure from your molasses-based rums. There's complexity here, but its subtle. I heard there's a tiny bit of added sugar in this juice, but its not overly sweet. I really enjoy this.
