Saint James 240 ans Cuvée Anniversaire
Most love the elegant, cognac‑styled nose and easy sipping profile. Critics find the palate thin, watery and overpriced. Consensus: a pleasant, polished but mild agricole for relaxed evenings.
Agricole-curious drinkers and cognac fans wanting a gentle, well-mannered Martinique sipper with dried fruit, grape and vanilla notes rather than big grassy power or high ABV heat.

Elegant nose, relaxed but thin agricole

RumX advent Calendar - day 19 The kind of agricole I love, well balanced and tasty, despite ABV is low. In this rum, sugarcane and wood melts perfectly, with nice chocolate and cacao notes. This would be a great daily dram if it's price wasn't that high
14.12.2019 A nice get together in a summerhouse with family and friends and rum for some of us. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, round, light wood, faint roasted, sugarcane, orange, light citrus, light dried fruit, faint floral. Palate Light, balanced, sugarcane, light wood, dried fruit, medium dry, light grass, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, light wood, sugarcane, medium dry, light vanilla, faint caramel, light orange.
Ein Agricole aus der Kategorie "gefällig". Bleibt durch den geringen Abv nicht so lange weiß aber zu gefallen das man einfach gern nochmals dran nippt. Schöne Balance
RumX-Adventskalender 19.12.2023 Blind tasting: This rhum looked familiar to me. With <h>, because I thought it was an Agricole from Martinique, namely RX1229. After all, I was exactly right with my estimate of the ABV. 😉
