    How does this rum taste?

    The Saint James 9 Ans Très Vieux Rhum Agricole is an elegant rum crafted in Martinique, offering a complex aroma of woody, vanilla, fruity, and spicy nuances, with nutmeg accents. Created from sugar cane juice and distilled in a Creole Column, it is aged for 9 years, providing a rich palate with notes of oak, tobacco, and dried fruits, enhanced by raisin flavors. Users recognize its decent value and smoothness, despite a short finish and less revolutionary profile. This rum stands as a reliable choice in the Saint James range, positioned between the 7 and 12-year variants.

    Un rhum milieu de gamme chez saint James. Il a une jolie odeur boisé, en bouche ces arômes boisés et légèrement fumés se révèlent. Je n'ai pas fait la comparaison avec les autres vieillissement mais c'est est un rhum correct avec un rapport qualité prix plutôt bon.

    Finde diesen Agricole auch gar nicht so schlecht. Wie erwartet sehr holzig und würzig in der Nase. Etwas Vanille lässt sich erkennen. Am Gaumen wie immer für mich überwiegend der typische Agricolegeschmack. Würze, Holz, aber auch Pfeffer und Kaffee.

    Assez similaire au VSOP de la gamme St James avec un boisé un peu plus présent.

    A mid-range rum in the permanent range, this 9-year-old Saint James is distinguished by a nose of great sweetness, carrying sweet spices, elegant wood, dried fruit and sugarcane. Nuts and toasty notes follow, in keeping with the distillery's tradition. The palate is characterized by earthiness and herbaceousness, tobacco notes, a certain bitterness and the influence of oak from cognac casks. The woody, spicy character is also very pronounced. The profile is dry, approachable, but not revolutionary. The finish, a little short for the profile, allows empyreumatic and vegetal flavors to swirl around, the latter gradually taking the ascendancy throughout the tasting. Although this is a perfectly decent rum, it doesn't add much between the 7- and 12-year-old cuvées, which mark a real step up in the distillery's range.
