    How does this rum taste?

    Wood, leather, and tobacco lead the aromatic profile of Saint James Cuvée 1765, with a palate marked by oak, cinnamon, and classic sugarcane notes. While its 42% ABV impresses with intensity uncommon for its age, most RumX tasters find this agricole approachable, complex, and particularly suitable for spirit-forward cocktails. Worth a sip for fans of dry, woody rums seeking a robust agricole experience.

    I haven't had a Saint James in my glass for a while, but I didn't remember it being as extreme as this one. Quite intense despite only 42°, which is impressive, but a lot of leather, tobacco and wood. I can't do much with that.

    Really disappointed. Poorly integrated alcohol. Hay and wood dominate.

    Surprising for Saint James, clearly more complex. Good ageing.

    Very average. For pancakes or ti-punsch
