Bedford Park Saint James Single Barrel French Antilles Rum 2017
Sip this neat — the 57.6% wears its strength so well that several tasters say it doesn't need water. Expect orchard fruit (apples, a few berries), sugarcane freshness, vanilla and honey, with clove-led spice and just enough oak to shape it. A column-still Saint James agricole that stays grassy and lively without going full vegetal. One reviewer called it their favorite agricole so far.
- Well-integrated ABV
- Fresh orchard fruit
- Balanced oak spice

Review by Joe Shafer
A fantastic value for money rum - great flavours but at a fraction of the price you’d expect to see from this distillery. It’s unique given this is a bit different to your typical Agricola.
Review by J Suh
The bourbon lovers are going to want this one. Packed with flavour!!! Buying two bottles for that price.
Review by Henry Scorpio
This is super approachable as the bourbon cask (rumour is it’s Jack Daniels) has done fantastic work here. Very much one for, at the price, getting in front of as many people as possible, especially those new to rum. For those who want a pure agricole rum, this might not tick all the boxes given the cask forward nature but there is no denying how good this is. Considering the age and price point again, one you will want on your shelf.
