Opinions land all over the map on this one, and the 66.8% is why. Poured straight it comes off hot and almost vodka-like — several tasters say let it rest and it changes completely: sugarcane, citrus, floral notes and an odd mineral tang, like a magnesium tablet. Surprisingly spicy and a touch sweet for such a young agricole, with little oak. Rewards patience and a drop of water.

How does Rum Shark Saint James 2017 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Hot young agricole, minerally and spicy Well-liked but demanding — the heat is real and the profile is hard to pin down. Give it air and water; those who do rate it high.

Vintage 2017. I rate it 8.5 out of 10, an excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.

And now a heavy Agricole. Also quite strongly alcoholic, as can be noted. But it also has nice Agricole notes, quite vegetal and earthy, but also sugarcane and minerals are recognizable here.
Review by Johannes
As is usually the case with Sharks, the alcohol content is somewhat exaggerated. Difficult to classify in terms of taste. Somewhat floral, a little sweetness, wood, caramel.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly spicy and sweet for such a young agricole and at the same time little wood influence. Rather reminiscent of sandalwood, cinnamon cookies with bitter orange glaze and is overall quite sweet, nutty and mild despite the high alcohol content.
Review by Matej
Aroma at first is very unpleasant very alcoholic, almost like vodka. Let it rest. Then I noticed spice (very dominant), some floral scents and lot of fruits (mostly tropical and grapes). It reminded me homemade booze. After a few minutes I noticed some sweet scents (just a hint). Taste itself is very fruity (citrus is dominant flavor), again lot of spice, some wood and what is new for me, almost like mineral flavor (when you take magnesium tablet). Finish is pretty long (at least for me) but the whole thing ended very gently. Pretty interesting rum, not my favorite, but it could be good and pleasant choice for “agricole” drinkers.
