Saint James Brut de fût

A bold nose of oak, prunes, and leather paves the way for a palate driven by woody spice, pepper, and licorice. Consensus: a concentrated, complex rum celebrated for its woodiness—recommended for fans of intense, aged agricoles.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Intensely woody and complex
    • Long, layered finish
    • Distinct agricole identity

    Oak and wood dominate this Saint James Brut de fût—a Martinique agricole aged 14 years and bottled at 56.4%. Layers of spice, leather, licorice, and prunes swirl beneath a rich, woody profile, while subtle fruit and coffee notes add intrigue. Long, powerful, and complex, this cask strength limited edition rewards those who appreciate assertive barrel influence. Worth exploring for aficionados of bold, wood-forward agricole rums.

    "In direct comparison to Batch 1, this great Agricole from St. James falls a little short. Its big brother is more intense and drier. But this one has more fruit. Overall, I like Batch 1 much better."

    "Extremely dark with a beautiful red tint. Powerful, warm nose. Wood, spice and dried fruit, beautifully melted. Super! 😀😀😀😀 Fresher with a little water and a hint of liquorice. Full in the mouth. Spicy, woody. Alcohol well integrated. Malt and licorice. Tingling finish. Great Agricole 😀😀😀😀 PLV the hammer."

    "For me personally, this is a little too woody and barrel-heavy. After a few tastings of various Saint James, I would rank this one in the lower midfield. Unfortunately, this profile doesn't really appeal to me at the moment."
