Saint James Hors d'Age

Ok agricole, best i had so far. Looking forward to taste more fine agricole rum.

I have been drinking Clement VSOP for my agricole Rhum, and I bought this one when I was in Europe last year (very hard to find in Canada) to try and I'm a bit disappointed, I was expecting more if the grassy notes. Not as "agricole" as the Clement if that makes sense?

Super faint nose, almost nonexistent. It's subtle, it's warming. Fresh caramel. Becomes more pronounced over time, but unfortunately, so does the alcohol. Delicate flavor. Smooth entry, with much of the same brine add its younger sibling. It's 43%; I wouldn't mind higher. Still, it's got a bit of a sharp, astringent finish, with a touch of cigar smoke. Somewhere between Denizen Merchant's Reserve and HC Selección de Maestros?

7+, 8-

decent rum. Not the best, not the disapointment. As it is Rhum Agricole, it is little bit more burning your palate, than rum industriel.

Rhum agricole Saint James Hors D’âge
Origine : Martinique
43 %
70 cl
Nez : fruité sur les fruits secs et toasté sur le caramel
Bouche : Quelque peu boisé avec des touches toasté de bois brûlé et caramel. Finale de duré moyenne.

It's rum, normal, good quality rum. Nothing about it is particularly special, and nothing is wrong with it. I gave it a 6, mostly because the rum flavor was just slightly different in an earthy way. Not bad, just a bit unusual. I am able to sip this rum straight, my criteria for something that is at least palatable. Good, just not delicious. While it is a darker rum, it's price is a bit high for what you get.

Despite some positive reviews, I was pretty disappointed with this Saint James rum. Not terrible, but not very smooth and I wasn't a fan of the flavour. It was a bit pricey from the store too, and definitely not worth the money.

Alkohol: 43 %
Původ: Martinik
Aroma: Zvláštní vůně, svěže třtinová, ale i těžce květinová (puget květin), s pomerančem, meruňkovým kompotem a marmeládou, s rozinkami a exotickým kořením. Fajn. (86 b)
Chuť: Klasický, nezaměnitelný agricole rum, se vším co k tomu patří. Tedy spíš sušší, (nasládlost tu je taky, ale sladkost je asi tak na 15-20 %). Je znát i vyzrálost (dřevo, koření), ale bohužel i klasicky škrábavý dozvuk. (83 b)
Body: 84
Shrnutí: Ochutnal jsem v českolipském podniku Kavárna/bar Kocour, kde mají velmi pěknou nabídku rumů. A aby se mi to vůbec nepletlo, ochutnal jsem dnes rumy z Martiniku, Mauricia a Madagaskaru. Jako obvykle u mě zemědělský rum boduje spíše vůní než chutí.

A good alternative when you don't want sweeter dark rums. This one is strong so you'd better mix with some ice.

this is a strong rhum. intense notes of dark chocolate. deep, heavy, bold. not a good idea to taste it as a dessert. try this powerhouse alone, with the right temperature.

Un rhum assez boisé avec de délicates notes de fruits secs. Pour quelques euros de plus, je vous conseille le 12 ans d'âge!

Belle robe acajou
Nez riche, domination du boisé.
Goût : assez particulier en attaque, avec un goût prononcé de vieux fruits.
Finale : longue

Rich taste of sugar cane, best rhum i ever taste, really love the sweet taste mixed with a little bit of cola

Smakar för mycket alkohol.
