XXX/Six is an Agricole style rum distilled in Mauritius. XXX/Six was distilled on a column still using cane juice. This bottling was aged in oak casks in Mauritius from 2010 to 2018. In 2018, it was shipped to England where it finished aging in a first-fill Bourbon whiskey cask for 2 years. Bottled on January 6th, 2020 at 67.2% ABV this rum yielded 260 bottles. All XXX rums are bottled without filtering, coloring, additives or dilution of any kind. Selected via blind tasting with a panel of tasters from r/Rum and Aficionados.
XXX/Six is the wild step child in this series of Rum releases. This rum was deeply divisive to the tasting panel, and is likely to be the most controversial release so far. XXX/Six demonstrates the wild complexity moderately aged Agricole can bring to the table. Notes of cinnamon, eucalyptus, and nutty sweetness can be found while nosing this dram. The palate is powerfully grassy with notes of cinnamon, spearmint, herbal spice and savory toffee sweetness. The finish picks up where the palate leaves off, continuing with more herbal, minty, grass fun. Airtime is a big friend of this rum, with most panel members finding it to open up beautifully after several weeks of resting after first opening. Fans of Agricole will surely find this bottling to be most interesting.
