    How does this rum taste?

    • Woody and fruity aroma
    • Perfect for cocktails
    • Complex Martinique flavors

    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.

    "Na ja, ein eher unterdurchschnittliche Saint James. Nase ist überwiegend holzig und alkoholisch, aber auch Klebstoff ist zu erkennen. Am Gaumen ebenfalls überwiegend holzig und alkolisch, aber auch fruchtige Noten sind zu erkennen. Wirklich nicht gut."

    "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."

    "This was my first real rum mixology where the master did some pretty good drinks. Please be aware that the score is based on the final result and not for the "raw rum" in a clea tasting, which would be pretty different! Rum'n'coke 4 cl Saint James Cola to your liking Fresh lemon juice This was a pretty good rum and cola and the lemon juice did it really well."

    "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."
