How does this rum taste?
Most love its powerful yet elegant dark-woody agricole profile and long, warm finish. Critics mention a slightly closed nose or bitter/astringent oak. Consensus: a reference-level Saint James selection.
If you enjoy mature, wood-driven agricoles like top Saint James or HSE vintages, this pushes the same style further in complexity and power without losing balance.
Newcomers to rum or agricole, and drinkers who dislike pronounced oak, dry bitterness or higher ABV sippers without added sweetness.

Un agricole digne de ce nom. Une vraie réussite. Profil beaucoup plus gourmand que la plupart des autres vieux St-James.
On the nose roasted hazelnuts, chocolate, burnt sugar, spices, red fruits and some flowers.On the palate again roasted hazelnuts, wood, spices, red fruits and a touch of full-bodied vanilla and nougat sweetness to tie it all together, slightly peppery finish and in the aftertaste a grandiose hint of root/mold/earthy. Magical!In the empty glass roasted, earthy and woody. Thanks to Johannes for the opportunity!
Sensationell guter Agricole!
Un superbe Saint James embouteillé par Corman Collins, qui a réalisé une très belle sélection. Le nez se veut très gourmand, tourné par de belles notes boisées, des arômes sombres typiques de la distillerie (cuir, épices, cappuccino, cacao, noisettes et tabac), du toffee, du caramel et quelques effluves fruitées tournées vers les fruits tropicaux, les fruits secs et la banane. L’attaque en bouche est expressive mais maîtrisée. On ressent les notes de thé, les quelques notes terreuses de tabac, qui se mêlent bien aux notes sombres et épicées. Les fruits secs et la banane se font plus discrets, mais l’ensemble est très rond, complet et élégant. La finale est longue sur quelques notes de groseilles, des épices et des notes torréfiées. Un rhum qui représente Saint James à merveille.
