Brut de fût

Attaque franche, très complexe et puissant, sans agressivité sur la longueur. Une pépite.

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

A very good Saint James brut de fut with nutty cocoa and ripe fruit aromas and a minty finish.

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

Like Batch 1, a very tasty Agricole. Nevertheless, clear differences can be found from its predecessor. Less fruit, but more woody aromas and spices. While Batch 1 was still very spicy, the one year older Batch 2 is much heavier and more complex, but less pungent. The dry notes linger forever in the mouth and continue to resonate for a long time.

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 ? »

It took me several tastings to fully appreciate this juice. The wood reigns supreme. But in the right way. As a good conductor it makes the other flavors coexist in harmony. In the end a very greedy rum with a nice length (and great value for money)

This is a beautiful rhum. Woody and intensely flavorful. On very first attack I get a a brief note of caramel followed by a deeply matured and almost whiskey-like cane juice taste with lots of lime and fruit and a long finish with hints of vanilla and oak. Just a pleasure.

Very pleasant, greediness on the woody coffee and spices. Excellent value for money

It is round, and very good. Perfectly integrated alcohol, nice woodiness on the nose or palate, followed by spices and vanilla. Delicious 😍

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.

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.

Lots of European fruit on the nose. The palate is intensely woody and spicy, with a vegetal note.

Kommt im direkten Vergleich nicht an den 2001er heran. Deutlich mehr auf der Fass und würzigen Seite. Tolle Lakritznote. Für mich fehlt ein bisschen Frucht im Geschmack.

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.
