    How does this rum taste?

    • Distinctive woody aroma
    • Sweet tropical flavor
    • Full-bodied complexity

    Rhum Saint James, distilled in Martinique, offers a distinctive Agricole rum experience with its 45% ABV from sugar cane juice. Noted for its woody, leather-infused aroma with caramel and dried fruit undertones, it presents a sweet, tropical flavor with a woody aftertaste. Users appreciate its complex nose, but opinions vary on its palate—some find it mellow and lacking traditional Agricole elements, with a noticeable sharpness despite the ABV. While some enjoy its fruity, full-bodied nature, others feel it’s more historically valuable than exceptional in taste. Perfect for those seeking a fruity yet complex rum with a slightly peppery finish, Rhum Saint James intrigues both new and seasoned rum enthusiasts looking for a unique sipping experience.

    "Da passiert einiges im Mund. Ich bin nur nicht sicher, ob alles positiv ist. Hat hintenraus viel SchĂ€rfe was fĂŒr die 45% schon merkwĂŒrdig ist. Wenig grasige Noten, die ich sonst bei St James erwarte. Im Retasting deutlich besser, aber immer noch eine SchĂ€rfe hintenraus."

    "Tasting bei Dr. Django Dieser Saint James gefÀllt mir recht gut. Obwohl auch er leicht und weich daherkommt, hat er eine sehr schöne traubige Nase, die einen sofort an einen fruchtigen schweren Wein erinnert. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich angenehm weich. Er istein klasse Sipper"

    "Auch wenn dieser St. James mit niedrigem ABV abgefĂŒllt wurde, wartet hier mehr KomplexitĂ€t als vermutet. Etwas Frucht, aber mehr florale und Agricole-Noten. Der Abgang ist mir deutlich zu pfefferig und ruppig."
