Saint James Nectar du maître de chai

Pour this after dinner, not before — it drinks like dessert in a glass. Built on aged Saint James agricole but sweetened and steeped with prunes and Bourbon vanilla, it lands syrupy and rich: plum, caramel, vanilla and a touch of chocolate over damp oak. Several tasters call it extremely sweet; one flat-out treated it as a rum liqueur rather than a straight agricole.

  • Round plum-vanilla flavor
  • Easy to drink

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Sweet, plummy agricole that drinks like dessert Most find it round, easy and very sweet — a plum-and-vanilla dessert dram. The split is real: fans love the gourmand side, others find it too syrupy to be true agricole.

Perfect for

People who like sweet, round, dessert-style spirits and after-dinner sippers

Discovered at Rhum Fest 2025. 👃 & 😋 Damp wood, chemical vanilla, kitchen spices, clove, dried and candied fruits, plums and prunes, fruit alcohol, combo of soft caramel and chocolate, syrupy sensation in the mouth. ⛳ Rather short, it has the advantage of being easy to drink. Sensation of fruit brandy and candied fruits in alcohol. 💡 A spirit drink based on rum that has the merit of being financially accessible (who said La Flibuste?). This is clearly not the kind of product I like, but it will find its audience among fans of soft, round and syrupy spirits.

#5702 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a very sweet rum, extremely sweet actually. The wood is well hidden in the sweet notes of plums and prunes with vanilla and some light nutts.

With 100g per liter sweetened Agricole. I don't really understand why? 😂 You can drink it but if I want sugar in my cocktail I can add it myself?? Strange idea...

Saint James

Distillery

Saint James 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 250 Rums

Saint-James traces its origins back to 1765 and is one of the oldest names in bottled rum: the brand was registered in 1882, together with the square bottle it still sells. Today it holds Martinique's largest export quota, runs what may be the world's best distillation museum, and its old vintages and J. Bally bottlings are among the most loved Martinique rums on RumX.
