I...thought I liked agricole before trying this. I still do, but hoo boy this is not a drink for me. I love that funky grass flavour of (in the nicest possible way) stagnant water and petrol. But...this gives it nowhere to hide and nothing to accent. It's very hot and very pungent. I'll put this very definitely down to "not for me" rather than a fault of the drink though.

What agricole rhum did you use? It's an awesome cocktail on itself, but emphasize on the rhum used. Lots of choices indeed.

I see the Kingston funk is comming from the Plantation Pineapple, it's base is the Original Dark from Plantation, which is a blend of Jamaican and Bajan rum. Still could use a bit more funk to my taste. My wife on the other hand needs a little less funk. Still excellent!

Flor de Cana 7yo 50ml, Clairin Communal 10ml, Monin Falernum Syrup 7,5ml and 2 dashes Elemakule Tiki Bitters garnished with an expressed lime zest. My recipe for an Tiki Rum Old Fashioned; what a treat!!!

I'm finding Old Fashioneds too sweet, wondering if there is a drier version that tastes great.

Also, try it with an oleo saccharum of sevilla oranges, bonedry, bitter but still somewhat sweet. Instead of oleo you may try marmalade, but that is not that dry/bitter.
