Rum Agricole · 18 years · 42,3%

Saint James Single Cask 2003

Cocoa, dark chocolate and toasted spice sit over the classic Saint James oak, with dried fruit, candied cane and a little citrus underneath. It's an 18-year Martinique agricole that drinks elegant, oily and easy at 42.3% — soft rather than powerful. Some tasters love that balance; others wish an old agricole hit harder and found the palate a touch monolithic.

#6713 28.04.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after my long walk and picking up my wife from work. Listening to A State of Trance on Spotify. A very nice release indeend. A woody but yet well balance profile with nice fruits, spice, coffee and some light tannins.

7.9/10

Dégustation au Rhum Fest 2026. 👃 Assez doux et léger, (seulement 42°) mais paradoxalement je trouve les watts assez présents par rapport à ce faible taux d'alcool. Un nez très classique de boisé typique Saint James, on sent les années avec pas mal d'épices de cuisine, de torréfaction et cette sensation de canne confite qui fait ressortir le côté agricole martiniquais. En arrière plan, les fruits du verger, fruits secs et agrumes tapissent le fond des narines. 😋 Le boisé typique d'un côté (épices, fût, chocolat, cuir léger) et les fruits (agrumes, secs et confits) accompagnés de canne à sucre elle aussi confite, caramélisée. Clairement, en bouche ça manque de watts et de profondeur pour un rhum de 18 ans d'âge. Cela se boit tout seul, mais ce n'est pas un compliment pour moi. Trop easy sipper pour un rhum hors d'âge de cette trampe. J'en attends plus. Ça a le mérite d'être fin et équilibré. ⛳ De longueur moyenne, monolithique, saveurs légères, épices, torréfaction, fruits confits. Ça accroche peu au palais. 💡 Note à relativiser. J'ai dégusté les agricoles après les mélasses car c'est ce que je préfère comme profil, et le salon nous a réservé de belles surprises dans ce sens. Grain de café, beaucoup d'eau + pause, même dans ce contexte, je trouve certains agricoles Martiniquais assez monolithiques. Pas très expressifs, peut-être trop fins pour mes goûts, je m'ennuie un peu en les dégustant, surtout sur des bas degrés comme c'est le cas ici. C'est décidément moins mon genre de rhum qu'à mes débuts. 🥊 Le même jour, j'ai eu le J. Bally 2004 dans mon verre pour les comparer. Selon mes goûts, il n'y a pas de comparaison possible, le Bally boxe largement le SJ 2003, tant au niveau de l'arômatique, de l'intensité que de la complexité.

Very delicious 2003 vintage agricole. Very elegant, oily, and heavy. Pleasant sweetness, intense cocoa, cherry, and allspice notes. Not too woody, not too dry. I really like it. Perfect easy sipper!

Encore un des trois coups de cœur que j’ai eus au Rhum Fest ce week-end à Paris. J’ai longtemps hésité entre lui et le J. Bally 2004. Ce sont tous les deux de très bons rhums que je recommande. J’aurais aimé prendre une bouteille, mais mon cœur a tranché pour J.B. Dommage, car j’aimerais m’y replonger : c’est un excellent rhum.

8.3/10

As soon as I pour the solvent and paint, I swirl the glass to oxygenate it, it is very closed. It begins to emerge: a hint of banana, accompanied by peach and cooked apple jam, caramel, with a distant hint of agricole. Low alcohol content on the palate, which releases all the character of Saint James, enriched with hints of peach tea. Long finish, but there is a discrepancy between the nose and the palate.

Saint James 2003 – 42.3% Here we have an 18-year-old! At this price (~$190), it is rare to find a Martinique rum of this age. Profile: very heavy and elegant at the same time, intense notes of cocoa, restrained woodiness despite its 18 years. Result: excellent rum, very harmonious.

For such a low ABV, very intense notes of dried fruit, sweet spices, and wood. An excellent agricole.
