Saint James 10 ans (Cuvée Transat) 2015
Well-liked but not a knockout — most tasters land around "well balanced and rounded," a few wish it hit harder. This is the wood-forward, dry side of Martinique agricole rather than the grassy one: dry oak, cinnamon and clove, cocoa and dried nuts, with candied cane and orange in the background. One member preferred it to the 9 and 12 for being rounder. The finish fades fast, so drink it fresh in the glass.
The community says- Dry oak balance
- Cocoa and nuts
- But: Short finish

Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Dry, woody Martinique agricole for sipping Most call it a rounded, easygoing agricole for the end of a meal — good value, nicely made, but a touch light and short. Melasse fans found it underpowered.

Gouté au rhumfest Paris 2026, en fin de journée. Bon représentant de la marque, le rapport qualité/prix est bien. Je le préfère largement au 9 et 12 ans car je le trouve plus rond. Le boisé est au top.

Dégustation au Rhum Fest 2026. 👃 Fruits confits à secs, plutôt du verger. Légere note d'agrumes. Les épices typiques de Saint James, léger clou de girofle, cannelle, poivre doux. Ce côté canne confite et terreuse en arrière plan. Boisé assez présent, alcool bien intégré au nez. 😋 On retrouve les caractéristiques boisées SJ, ce côté bois sec et rêche. Il amène de la torréfaction d'épices, d'oléagineux et de chocolat. Les fruits secs et du verger comme au nez, accompagné de canne à sucre confite. Une sensation plus verte sur du tabac en feuille, fumée feuille de manioc aussi. ⛳ De longueur moyenne à courte, je trouve que les arômes s'effacent rapidement. Sensation de rondeur (trop), c'est léger. On retrouve les épices, torréfaction, canne confite et un peu de terre de canne. 💡 Note à relativiser. Fan de grosse mélasse, j'ai fini le salon par les agricoles. Dans ce contexte, je prends de moins en moins de plaisir en ce moment dans la dégustation de rhums agricoles martiniquais. Certainement le manque de watts, de concentration ou cette sensation de boisé sec, épicé et rêche qui me dérange en bouche. Bon RQP.

#6423 02.03.2026 Enjoying a few samples after my training while listening to some heavy Psy Trance. This is a pretty nice bottline with a well balanced profile. Nice fruits and good balance between wood and spices.
Review by Righrum
This super-drinkable Saint James was a really nice surprise. Smooth and balanced, delivers wood and spices along with some fruits and sweetness. The palate is all about dried nuts and is really chocolated driven
