    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers love this Saint James for its cask‑strength intensity and balance of red fruits and refined cask influence. Expect prunes and cherry on the nose with vanilla and wood, then tobacco, licorice and warming spice, with hints of dark chocolate and lime. Many note well-integrated alcohol; some find wood or bitterness and a shorter finish. An 18‑year, Velier‑selected limited release, well regarded by 45 RumX members.

    Oh, it's so good! Very nice balance of yellow fruit and barrel influence! But not too round, very complex, the barrel influence dominates somewhat.

    Full, round Agricole with pronounced wood maturity and - uncharacteristically for an Agricole - red fruits like cherry.Very well integrated alcohol. Overall very good.

    Great Agricole. Nice barrel influence. On the palate red fruit and nice spice.

    Lovely release and I especially like the flavours in the empty glass where the chocolate and spice stand out. Nice and intense nose and palate.
