Sip this one neat and slow — it's cask strength but the alcohol sits well. The nose is classic Saint James: waxed wood, spice and floral yellow fruit. On the palate the wood takes over, with black chocolate, cardamom, coffee and a chili prickle. Several tasters call it their brightest, most fruit-forward Saint James, though the fruit fades fast into oak.

Wood-forward, spicy Martinique agricole for sipping Most rate it a well-integrated, wood-heavy agricole with chocolate and spice. A few find the oak overwhelming and the finish only medium; fans call it the brightest, most fruit-driven Saint James they've had.

On the nose, the Saint James profile is immediately apparent: wood, spices and a beautiful floral side with associated yellow fruit. It's fine and smells good. On the palate, it's quite pleasant, but loses all its fruitiness to spices, pepper and dark chocolate. A fine bottle without being exceptional, with good integration of the alcohol. Lacks a little length.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4465 12.11. 2023 Very nice rum and the price to quality is very good in my mind. Fruity with nice spices and some added wood. Light Agricole notes. The palate is oily and fruity with a light mint note. The finish is medium to long with light added cinnamon. The empty glass has some chocolate and a light grassy note.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Very good value for money in the current context. This rum offers an agricole profile true to Saint James. The nose opens with delicious woody and floral notes, enhanced by ripe yellow fruits. On the palate, the woodiness is still very present, a touch of dark chocolate adds depth. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, offering a precise and balanced tasting experience.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sour red currants, dried fruits, green spicy cardamom, green mint and menthol, Ethiopian cold brew coffee, light vanilla and dark chocolate and very subtle green Thai chili as well as cinnamon and tiramisu... Super tasty, round and intense. Awesome stuff!
Review by jOAK
By far the brightest Saint Jaimes I tried and quite a unique release from a distillery that usually produce some of the boldest of rhums coming from Martinique, as far as I reckon. This is my favourite release which stands out from everything else I tried from them and it reminds me of the rhums coming from Dillon and Depaz with the typical flavours of yellow fruits. Que rico!
Review by Guérick Hunaut
The quintessence of St James rhum agricole The character of the cane and the smoothness of the oak barrel selected by Marc Sassier guarantee a long finish and remarkable complexity. A fine selection for the Rugby World Cup! To be enjoyed without moderation, despite its 54% alcohol content, which will delight fans of traditional French rums!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The bonuses of the evening Saint James 2007 – Le Comptoir Irlandais – 54.7% Limited collaboration between Saint James and Le Comptoir Irlandais. 15 years old cask strength, distilled in a Creole column and aged entirely under tropical climate. As Marc Sassier says: “Power in the service of aromas.” A beautiful moment from Martinique, woody and chocolaty as desired.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Very "HLCF" nose with glue and ripe banana, doesn't satisfy me. Agricultural palate, rougher. Alcohol well present, agricultural aftertaste, releases a pleasant "sweetness" in the finish. But the tongue is burnt. And not very satisfying. I expected more.
Review by Righrum
The nose is pretty typical St James, but you can have a preview of the tannic astringency you'll meet when drinking. Very floral at the beginning, the nose then turns into coffee and wood. On the palate the wood is overwhelming, it's a pity because profile is pretty nice
Review by Quentin Rum
A powerful St James, precious wood, vibrant, confident, ultra-dense and compact. Some would say too woody, but I think we're on the markers of a great old spinnaker...
Review by Tendero Pablo
The typical profile of Saint James ...a woody presence right away ....integration rather accomplished and an explosive palate on spices, cardamom, chocolate and pepper ... Average length...a very pretty martiniquais.
Review by laudhar
Unsurprisingly for St James, the first nose is very woody, almost waxed parquet I find. The palate is spicy, even spicy. Chocolate aromas follow.
