Saint James Brut de colonne - Bio

This Saint James Brut de Colonne BIO is an important part in the distillery’s way of talking a bigger environmental responsibility. It’s distilled during one day 2020 in their Creole column and bottled Brut de Colonne without any alcohol reduction. Overall a great AOC Blanc which is extremely tasty if you let it rest a while in your mouth before you swallow it.

This rum is a real juice straight out of the cane which the sugar of it would have candied. Very vegetable notes (Green / Hay / Earthy / Sap / Olive / Grass), of citrus fruits (Lemon / Lime) which brings a beautiful freshness (Smooth), it is mineral, slightly spicy (Pepper / Cinnamon / Vanilla (at the end of mouth)), we also find a beautiful sweetness (Honey / Cooked sugar) In short we just have the impression to crunch in a cane gorged of sugar and sun it is very good and pleasant to drink!

Second tasting: Very good white rum only slightly behind my reference Neisson L'Esprit RX1058. Tasted at the 12th GRF Very good Agricole! Experiment: put a piece of lime zest in the glass and wait 1 min... This rum has the necessary power for this experiment - as I learned in the Velier Tasting at the 12th GRF.

wow! my current Agricole blanc reference!🤤❤️ what an explosion in the mouth and that at 74% without being even remotely sharp or unpleasant. Ginger, saffron, licorice, sesame, green apple, currant and a certain minerality. incredibly velvety and intense. horny number! agricole finally times as I like it, was tested directly in the daiquiri and found extremely good!🤤🕺😅🇲🇶

A great value for money rum (especially for lovers of French sugar cane).

What an insolent success! Don't look for less than 50 euros, you won't find such a successful brut de colonne.

Very nice white Agricole. Both pure and in Ti Punch very good!

Wunderbarer Agricole, diese extremen grasigen Noten der Saint James gefallen mit immer besser. Hier findet man auch schöne Zitrus Noten. Ich mag die S.J. alle für T-Punch. Aber auch pur vermag diese Abfüllung zu überzeugen.

The 74% are top integrated on the nose as on the palate. Smell he does quite clearly of fresh sugar cane and something of banana. Tastefully, the nose is found again and is complemented by heavy notes of hazelnut, chocolate, pepper. I'm already looking forward to the Ti Punch 😋 In comparison with Pére Labat 59 and Dillon Brut de Colon the clear winner. The banana hazelnut combo gives it the win over the "mustier" Dillon.

Wow, just wow. This is an incredibly well balanced white rhum Agricole. One of the best ones I have ever tried. The nose is Agricole all the way. Grassy, earthy and sweet with a lot of nice olive. The palate is so intense with flavours that you don't feel the high proof. The flavours are fruity and again there is no doubt that this is am Agricole because the grassy and wet hay is there. The finish is very long and peppery with a hint of burnt sugar and licorice.

Puissamment végétal et équilibré.

An extremely intense fresh Agricole, the 74% vol. is very well integrated! Exceptional and very good white rum

A brut de colonne rum of great versatility. The nose is reminiscent of whole sugar cane, with the greenness, freshness and sweetness to match. Lime and olive notes are enhanced by spices and a slightly iodized tone. A nose of great delicacy for its extreme degree. The attack on the palate is intense, yet extremely round and balanced. Despite the 74.2%, the rum is beautifully complex and aromatically diverse. Citrus, pepper, sugarcane, mineral, floral and agricultural notes blend perfectly with the juice. Both dry and fresh, this is a rum that leaves no one indifferent. The finish is long, warm and powerful. Hints of greenery, olives and even a few spices (licorice in particular) add a touch of fantasy to this extreme ensemble. A rum that can be enjoyed very slowly, neat, but which can also prove to be an explosive mixologist's delight.

Ein sehr gelungener Agricole blanc. Unglaublich intensiv und langanhaltend. Noten von Johannisbeere, Zitrusfrüchten und Gras ziehen sich durch. Tolle Sache.

Even though I don't really see white rums on par with aged rums, this rum is a tasty change! Vegetable sugar cane notes dominate through and through, plus there are certain fruity notes like lime and sweet sugar cane. The high alcohol content makes this rum very sharp, so I think it should definitely be diluted a bit.
