The Dillon 2004 Vieux Agricole Hors D'age is a remarkable rum that boasts a rich and complex flavor profile. Distilled in 2004 and aged for 12 years, this rum spends its initial aging period in American oak barrels and is then finished in French oak. This meticulous aging process results in a uniquely smooth and complex spirit. With a full-bodied texture, the rum features a mellow woodiness, complemented by notes of dried apricots and dates.
The palate is treated to a blend of nuts and wood, presenting a massive yet non-astringent experience, followed by an elegant and intricate wave of vegetal, floral, and fruity notes. The rum smolders with an array of overripe exotic fruits, emitting a heady scent carefully locked away in the oak barrels.
This rum’s woodiness is adorned with sweet spices, various tobaccos, and freshly roasted nuts, blending harmoniously with the vegetal nature of the cane and the rich and fruity vesou. The finish is long and complex, with a velvety smoothness that coats the palate.
This exceptional rum is a testament to Dillon's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Distilled near the Depaz column, this Hors D'age rum (superior to 10 years) boasts exceptional richness. The lengthy aging process results in the loss of over 60% of the volume of the selected barrels, endowing the rum with a roundness and complexity that is truly remarkable.

The palate is complex and lightly dry, featuring fruit and wood, followed by honey, grass, vanilla, and floral notes. The finish is long and lightly dry, with lingering hints of fruit, wood, and floral notes.
