Sipped neat, this leans on the woody, leathery side of aged Martinique agricole — barrel, vanilla, licorice and caramel, with cherry and honey on the nose and a light coffee note tasters keep mentioning. At 45% it's aromatic and easy to drink for the strength, though a few felt the fruit and the body thinned out toward the finish.

Yes, if you're after characterful, mature, oaky rums for sipping neat.

A pretty good Saint James. The typical notes are there and I really like the light coffee note in the profile. ABV is pretty well integrated but could have been better. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass reveals even more notes like nutts and light ginger.

Vintage 2006. I rate it 7.5 out of 10, a solid rum that doesn't disappoint.
Review by Christoph
Very tasty Saint James that doesn't need more ABV. Powerful on the nose with cherry and honey. Caramel, licorice, and wood in the taste. A bit of bitterness (very pleasant) in the finish.
Review by Oliver
Excellent Saint James. Already discovered at Whisky Live Paris.
Review by Jakob
Great rum, the drinking strength suits it very well. Very round and at the same time as strong as varied in taste. Also holds up excellently in direct comparison with St. James bottlings with higher alcohol content.
Review by Thunderbird
By now I am a fan of the Saint James Agricoles. And this one fits in effortlessly. The nose is sweet/sour fruity with some cask and leather. On the palate a pleasantly leathery, woody and spicy play of aromas. The 45% suits it extraordinarily well and it doesn't have to hide against its stronger brothers! Great bottling
Review by Alexander Rasch
Very tasty, easy to drink rum, which still offers complex aromas. I would have liked a bit more power, especially the finish feels a bit thin. Maybe because of the magnum bottle.. 😅
Review by Righrum
The less interesting of the four releases, even if I recognise it as a great rhum
Review by Kodai
On revisiting this bottle, while I still rate this rum highly, there is a slight bitter astringency at the back of the palate that I haven’t figured out quite yet in the finish.
Review by Ayc
A bit closed on the nose, probably too diluted, very woody, elegant varnish. Slight astringency on the finish that supports everything. However, it’s very aromatic for 45%. A bit too little fruit to get a good rating.
