    How does this rum taste?

    Superb balance of wood and spice
    Long, elegant, roasted finish
    Impressively complex for its age

    Rich notes of wood, vanilla, and warming spice headline this standout 17-year agricole from Saint James, selected by Corman Collins. RumX reviewers highlight its superb balance, depth, and lingering roasted, nutty character, with subtle fruit and cocoa on both nose and palate. Fans call it "elegant," "harmonious," and a reference point for the distillery. Worth a sip for lovers of matured, complex Martinique rums.

     Nice complexity, also with the necessary power thanks to the slightly higher alcohol content. Overall, very balanced, nuanced with both somewhat fresh fruit notes, heavy sweetness of nougat and cocoa, among others, as well as pointed wood and spice notes. Well balanced and for me one of the best St. James representatives.

     Incredibly beautiful, slightly sweet, fruity and very well-balanced Agricole. Probably the benchmark for Saint James? Beautiful combination of vanilla, banana pulp, nutmeg and fresh oak with dried fruit. Really, really good. Just a little too much nutmeg & too bitter for me, otherwise it would be 90! 😅
