    How does this rum taste?

    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.

    Tasting from 1992 with the following notes. Beautiful colour and nose. Well rounded, light and fruity with spices and sweet touch to the palate.

    Schöner fruchtiger, eher jünger wirkender Agricole. Für die wenigen Prozente erstaunlich intensiv.

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

    Tasting bei Dr. Django Dieser Saint James gefällt 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
