To Saint James
"Very horny nose - really great Agricole essence! On the palate, despite its long, tropical aging, still drinkable and not too woody. Quite dry. Great mouthfeel. Absolutely recommended for all lovers of Agricole at cask strength. And that too at an unbeatable (issue) price."
"For me, this is by far the best of the St. James Epheremes series. As with the others, dried fruits, wood, spices,... dominate here. Mint is also very present here. The whole rum is very dry, but that fits here. A really cool ageicole!"
"Very nice round Agricole. Everything is very coherent and harmonious without any major rough edges. The age gives a light eucalyptus and tea note without becoming special. Also great value for money on release."
"Powerful Saint James, complex aromatic profile with nougat, present dark spices, bitter wood influences and dried fruits. Very good representative of the 2001 Saint James and a successful entry into the Les Ephémeres series."
