"Excellent...One of the best agricultural wines I've ever tasted. Woody, red fruits and chocolate/coffee blend perfectly for a surprising result. The alcohol is very well integrated. A nugget"

"Yesterday we had a great evening in my friends man-cave. Lots of laughter and wonderful rums. The oak is also dominant in this one though not too heavy to damage the other elements. A great and heavy rum. "

"Nice complexity, also with the necessary power thanks to the slightly higher alcohol content. Overall, very balanced, nuanced with both somewhat fresh fruit notes, heavy sweetness of nougat and cocoa, among others, as well as pointed wood and spice notes. Well balanced and for me one of the best St. James representatives."

"Very horny nose - really great Agricole essence! On the palate, despite its long, tropical aging, still drinkable and not too woody. Great mouthfeel. Absolute recommendation for all lovers of Agricole at cask strength. And that too at an unbeatable (issue) price."

"Un Saint James qui se fait remarquer par sa douceur et sa complexité. Le nez oscille avec douceur entre la fraîcheur végétale, les notes de fruits rouges et tropicaux, le bois, la vanille, le caramel, le cacao et le café. En bouche, on retrouve des saveurs similaires qui se mélangent tout en finesse. La texture du rhum est exquise : crémeux, onctueux, un peu gras et bien fourni en arômes, notamment sur les épices, le bois, le café et le chocolat. La finale est longue et porte sur des notes de cuir, de rôti, de bois et de café notamment, suivis de caramel et de fruits. Un vrai régal gustatif, au rapport qualité / prix excellent."

"Zweifelsohne ein sehr guter Rum. Konzentrierter und vielschichtiger Agricole. Noten von Rotwein oder Portwein, leichte bittere Zesten-Noten, parfümierter Tabak. Insgesamt ist mir das Holz aber zu präsent und einnehmend im Mund. Der Abgang ist schmackhaft und lang."

"Last one of my little St. James flight, I like this one the most. It is rare I find an aged Agricole still being fruity, herbal and woody. This has it all. However, it is quite intense, and most definitely needs time to appreciate - do not sip it lazily by the side."

"I got a sample from each release yesterday and had to give them a go right away. The price tag on these is pretty high compared to the regular releases! The nose is well balanced and fruity with leather, flowers, ginger roasted coffee and light oak. The palate is complex, well balanced and warm with oak, nutmeg, citrus, coffee as well as light tea and nutty flavours. The finish is long with oak, vanilla, apricot, coffee and licorice. The price doesn't match the quality in my mind, but this is probably going to be a collectors item."

"This bottle will be emptied tonight and I already had the first glass and barely one more left in the bottle. I can't find a better occasion for finishing this rum than the slide into 2022. This is also a bottle that was released in my birth year so I know I'm old :-) At least I can add some extra information compared to my old notes. This being a very old vintage rum it is so very different in the flavor profile compared to the releases in the past decades. There is wood from nose to finish. Then there is the typical grass note mixed with spice and fruit. There is also a hint of leather in the profile. I like the spicy tunge on the palate. A very good old rum that didn't come cheap when I bought it in the late 80's"

"Compared to the second release this one lack a bit. It is of course a younger model, but it can still keep up I think. Lightly woody with fruits from nose to finish. Lovely spices appear on the palate and finish nicely balanced with chocolate and caramel/toffee. There is a flowery hint i there and a medicinal hint i can't put my finger on. Price to quality is very good."

"This is an exceptional Rhum from Saint James. It’s a blend of the vintages of 1998, 2000 and 2003 all of them aged for over 12 years in small bourbon casks. I can really recommend it, even though the average price is a little high at around €180."

"This rum is a real juice straight out of the cane which the sugar of it would have candied. Very vegetable notes (Green / Hay / Earthy / Sap / Olive / Grass), of citrus fruits (Lemon / Lime) which brings a beautiful freshness (Smooth), it is mineral, slightly spicy (Pepper / Cinnamon / Vanilla (at the end of mouth)), we also find a beautiful sweetness (Honey / Cooked sugar) In short we just have the impression to crunch in a cane gorged of sugar and sun it is very good and pleasant to drink!"

"I have some of the other single casks and they usually all perform pretty well. So does this one, I would have loved a slightly higher ABV because I think it would have lifted it into another dimension. The nose is fruity and woody with roasted coffee, chocolate, wood and cinnamon trailed by nice floral notes. The palate is also woody and fruity with spices, nuts and and coffee. The finish is long and woody with spices, fruit and coffee."

"This Saint James at ABV 60% made from cane juice is not distilled in an column still as most of their produced rum, instead it’s double distilled in copper pot stills. So because of that it’s an Agricole without being an AOC rum. It makes a good Ti Punch."

Top review from Korkennase

"Dieser Rhum hat eine sehr einladende Nase. Es riecht nach Obst, Ananas, Birne und Zitrusfrüchten. Der Geschmack ist frisch, floral, mit Noten von Zuckerrohr. Der Pfeffer steht leicht im Vordergrund. Der Abgang ist Mittel und am Gaumen sind das Zuckerrohr, grasige Noten und nussige Komponenten vorherschend. Dieser Rhum kann gut als Aperitif oder Digestiv getrunken werden. Als Ti-Punch eher pflanzlich und Vanille, auch das Zuckerrohr ist present. Der Geschmack bring die Zitrusnoten zum Vorschein, mit leichten grasiger Note. Am Gaumen eher trocken, mit Nuß."
