It smells grassy and vegetal with a squash sweetness. The nose is surprisingly strong and piercing. The flavor is grassy but also sweet and vegetal with a squash and brown sugar note mixed with gross bread. It's quite a bit like grappa. The alcohol burn is there, but not excessive and there is some alcohol bitterness, but it's well under control. If you like these flavors, the balance is good and the bitterness is present but under control. There are hints of citrus, but they are well managed. It's very interesting, but just isn't my thing. It's super funky with some interesting sugar water flavor that validates its assertion of being rhum agricole. There's some odd red bell pepper flavor that is kind of interesting. It's a little oily, but not too much.
