Saint James Brut de fût

"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."

"An intense and woody rum... what a taste experience... ! Absolutely top!"

"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."

"A nice Agricole, which has not lost its herbal elements despite the aging. However, it has too much wood for my taste."

"I was expecting a slap of wood, but in the end the slap is there, but not only! It's accompanied by elegant dried fruit and dark notes of all kinds. The nose is pure sweetness that you could smell for hours. The palate is very, very woody, but still very pleasant. A fine discovery worthy of the greatest cognacs."

"The cask is almost taking over this rum and it's dominated by oak. A heavy rum made of fresh sugar cane. "

"A really beautiful, golden brown rum. The nose has brown sugar, spices and wood. On the palate, the barrel/wood should definitely be emphasized. There is also dark chocolate. Thanks to Vienna for the sample."

"Plenty of 56% and no sting in the nose. Surprisingly fruity and little floral.The palate is first dominated by the barrel influence but then also the finer notes from the nose come through, wonderful! No alcoholic sharpness far and wide!The finish again very woody but finely nuanced."

"the nose is promising fruity and tart, but taste me then unfortunately much too woody, sour and too bitter and dry. the rest of the sample I will process in May Tai believe there is so much wood comes good but here it is just too bad for me."

"Superbe Saint James, très boisé mais élégant ! J’adore ces profils là Énormément d’épices et de bois en bouche estompant un peu les fruits rouges du nez. « EDIT Calendrier de l’avent à l’aveugle par Simon : Sample 3 : * Nez : Menthol, bois, réglisse, fruits tropicaux, cuir * Bouche : Boisé, piment, amer * Finale : Menthol, piment Pur jus, Saint James, Martinique ? »"

"A rum that has a lot to offer and is a pleasure to have. I prefer molasses but a top daily dram for those who prefer agricultural."

"Tasted as a 3cl sample.A wonderful red color in the glass and refreshing menthol and sugar cane notes on the nose. Followed by leather, fruit and varnish. On the palate, they continue the notes of the nose similarly. Fruit dominates at first, which is followed by pepper, licorice and wood without being particularly bitter. Alcohol is not noticeable. All in all, very tasty rum. The price of 120€/0.7l (as of08/02/2022) is quite high, but for that you get a great rum, which for me is comparable to Bielle."

"The wood that plays the role of conductor sending us all the notes that the has to offer us in the taste buds.A wood juice of a very beautiful success and very pleasant to drink! 👍"

"Premier nez étonnement fruité. Ces notes sont rapidement dominées par le bois et le cuir. L'attaque en bouche est vive et épicée. Bois, tabac, cuir. On est bien chez St James. Jolie longueur. Pas de grosse surprise, on est en territoire connu. Finale longue et boisée qui laisse une jolie amertume pimentée sur la langue. Très cool."
