    How does this rum taste?

    Royal Ambré rum is an agricole distilled in Martinique by the Saint James distillery, using sugar cane juice and a column still. It is aged for 2 years and has a 40% ABV. Tasters note its prominent woody aroma and fruity undertones. The profile is augmented by an alcoholic edge with hints of glue and subtle sweetness. While some users appreciate its complexity and use it effectively in cocktails, others find its individual taste sharp and lacking. It's a versatile choice for those exploring mixology, embodying the volcanic terroir of Martinique.

    5.0/10 26 reviews

    7,6:On the nose, we can find typical Martinique agricole, with apricot, raspberries notes, volcanique identity is strong. It is very fresh, notes of sugar cane are omnipresent, freshly mowned grass is very pleasant, flowers like geranium smell nice, certainly there is wood and spices like pepper, even some of them are sweet-vanilla...lastly dried fruits. 7,7:On the palate freshness is continuous, it is pretty smooth, notes of spices arise, like cinnamon, vanilla. Raspberries and apricots are zesty.Sugar cane is very juicy and syrupy. Volcanique notes are unmistakable from Martinique, strong. 7,4:The finish is long and soft, fruity, volcanique, syrupy and quite dry..

    Well, a rather below-average Saint James. The nose is predominantly woody and alcoholic, but glue can also be detected. The palate is also predominantly woody and alcoholic, but fruity notes can also be detected. Really not good.

    It smells fruity, the sugar cane is still well represented but already somewhat tamed by the wood. Accordingly, the wood component is also present in the aroma, plus some glue, slightly spicy.Also in the taste, the sweetness and the wood component is again represented, the finish is somewhat sharp.

    the 40% version is even worse, too bad...
