    How does this rum taste?

    Distinct floral notes
    Classic Saint James style
    Engaging fresh palate

    Reviewers are most struck by the fresh, floral, and woody profile, with lavender and vanilla notes standing out. Many find the perfumed, soapy finish divisive—some call it interesting and complex, others off-putting. It's popular at tastings and often compared to its older Saint James siblings, delivering a vibrant agricole experience ideal for exploring the style. Worth considering if you appreciate unique, youthful agricoles.

     Compared to the 2014, the floral note is hardly noticeable here. Otherwise similar on the nose, fresh fruit, light woody sweetness and herbs. On the palate, after the initial freshness, a floral, soapy note emerges again - with increasing time in the glass - which initially stands out with every sip and unfortunately makes it difficult for me to enjoy. In the finish, the soapy note recedes into the background. Smokiness, herbs and spices dominate, while the typical profile remains discernible. After the second attempt, I revise my original rating somewhat, as the soapy note is less present than I had originally perceived, at least in the finish. Nevertheless, I can't give it a good rating because I find the soapy note simply annoying.

     Étonnant, goûté en 1er sur le calendrier de l'avent et ça commence fort, je lui trouve plutot une grosse dominante d'herbe fraiche autant au nez que en bouche. Une finale vraiment tres longue et toujours sur ce même parfum de fraicheur, ou bois frais et jeune pourquoi pas. Très étonnant en tous cas par rapport à ce que je connais, même si ce n'est pas dans mes goûts. Je suis content de connaître mais surtout de ne pas avoir la bouteille.

     I like the nose very much. Citrus fruits, macaroons, fine spice. The mouth continues in a similar way, very peppery and crisp. Floral perfume. Very good Agricole, easy to drink. Oscillates between floral perfume and floral soap.

     Le nez est correct mais en bouche un goût très particulier. L’impression de boire du parfum, j’ai lu goût de savon, y’a de ça. Peut peut-être un soucis sur mon échantillon mais pour moi limite buvable.
