    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers especially appreciate the balanced character and classic agricole notes of XO Quintessence, with flavors leaning towards wood, herbs, and a touch of vanilla emerging after some time in the glass. The mouthfeel is described as mild and creamy, transitioning into a vegetal, slightly bitter finish. Many enjoy it as a relaxed sipper, particularly for those already fond of Saint James. Worth considering if you value moderate complexity and subtle earthy undertones.

    Tout en élégance et équilibre

    Beautiful Agricole, unfortunately a bit bland.Dazu a bit too expensive.

    Très très bon rhum, j'ai adoré

    Ein solider Rum, der sich durch lebkuchenartige Würze, Holz und trockene Pflaume auszeichnet. Leider für einen SJ allerdings etwas zu wenig spektakulär.
