#5766 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. An exciting experiment in my mind and you can get a bit of the armagnac cask in the profile. Good ABV and wood integration with fruits and light chocolate and caramel.
Review by Eric Frechin
Goûté au rhumfest Paris 2025 . Ce rhum m a laissé une belle impression. Je l ai trouvé assez rond. Le passage en fût Porto et armagnac apporte de la gourmandise fruits sec , le boisé ne domine pas. Un peu de épices. Un bon tarif pour les amateurs d agricole assez gourmand.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Portwein und Armagnac finish sind klar erkennbar aber nicht zu dominant. Schön würzig, schwer und elegant. Angenehme Süße und holzigkeit mit kandierter Birne. Sehr angenehm zu trinken! Sehr gelungenes Finish.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Dégustation au Rhum Fest 2025 et Limoges Spirits Festival. 👃 Le boisé typique Martiniquais et Saint James, pas celui que je préfère. Vanille, épices, poivre léger. Fraîcheur lointaine de canne à sucre, Les fruits secs du double vieillissement, pruneau et petite cerise en arrière plan. Un côté clairement eau de vie de cerise avec du bois un peu humide. Léger empyreumatique de chocolat amer et de cuir. 😋 On prend les mêmes et on recommence. Boisé typique, épices, fruits secs. Un peu de fruits du verger encore verts. Cerise amère et son chocolat noir. Légères notes torréfiées, café et bois chauffé. La sensation en bouche est amère et un poil trop rêche, un peu boisé humide qu'on aurait chauffé ensuite à une source de chaleur sèche. ⛳ Essence de bois relativement noble, cerise amère, épices douces, canne à sucre cuite, chocolat et café. 💡 Nez un cran au-dessus de la bouche. Un bon représentant du genre Martiniquais à un très bon rapport qualité prix. Idéal pour faire découvrir les agricoles.
Review by Michal Jurka
Sample tasting. On the nose quite fresh and juicy with apple and pear, light marzipan especially in the beginning, quite flowery, young wood, light leather, Port also brings light chocolate. On the palate I get wood, leather, spices, light dark chocolate, apple. Very woody aftertaste. I have a feeling the rum is stronger than 46% would suggest. Saint James never dissapoints, great blending experiment.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Jsem velmi spokojený. Krásně propsaný armagnac, pěkně přijemně kořeněné, terochu dřevitosti, pepře skořice. Velmi pitelné.
