    How does this rum taste?

    Long complex finish
    Well-balanced spice
    Notably intense nose

    Most reviewers are drawn to this Saint James Brut de fût for its intense wood character beautifully balanced by spice and subtle dried fruit notes. The aroma captivates with prunes, leather, and oak, while the palate delivers bold peppery wood and hints of licorice. It's frequently sipped neat, especially by fans of aged agricole rums seeking complexity and a long, warming finish. Consistently praised for its depth and satisfying complexity, this limited release is widely seen as an excellent value among cask-strength Martinique 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.
