    "Overall a very nice Agricole with great flavors from Saint James, but when I tasted it together with the 12yo, appreciated the 12yo more. It’s full of flavors from the barrel, vanilla and fruits, but I think it tastes a little little bit too much oak to run out the 12yo."

    "8:On the nose the aromas explode in your face from the very first moment. Both fresh and deeply spicy, the nose is very woody and expressive. It succeeds in combining strong notes of velvety honey with intoxicating power. The woodiness is finely spiced and very classy, like a cigar box. Still in these very woody tones, we now smell the slight smoke. Licorice and a mix of dried fruits, including apricot, diffuse their aromas in this warmth. Aeration confirms the complexity and richness of this rum. Peanut paste adds thickness and the finesse of a stone brandy shows another sign of distinction. This is a concentrated, generous and fragrant rum. The chocolate is gourmand, the cane sophisticated and concentrated to the point of becoming a golden, sticky resin. 8,5:The palate is natural and raw. This old rum manages to retain the soul of its youth, with a peppery cane. It is both complex and smooth, with astringent wood and melting tannins on the tongue. The dried fruit is savory and mellow, the prune is fleshy, but the spices are lively enough to sustain the rum's ardor, which is diffused without losing its intensity. 8,3:Candied cane, dried fruit, licorice and mellow tannins never leave the palate once tasted.."

    "A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. A nose with dolvants and old wood, tropical fruit, vegetal with a light menthol. On the palate, old barrel dominates, but fruit and menthol restore the balance. The finish is long, with fruit and controlled woodiness."

    "Good Agricole with a pleasant caramel nose, with wood, chocolate and lots of fruit. Floral notes are rather in the background. So the nose is pretty awesome, but in the mouth then too spicy sharp and woody for my taste. Fruit and caramel is still found and also remains hanging. The price is in any case already somewhat elevated."
