Review by Guillaume Stanislav
Surprising for Saint James, clearly more complex. Good ageing.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Really disappointed. Poorly integrated alcohol. Hay and wood dominate.
Review by Tim
I haven't had a Saint James in my glass for a while, but I didn't remember it being as extreme as this one. Quite intense despite only 42°, which is impressive, but a lot of leather, tobacco and wood. I can't do much with that.
Review by adrien viau
Very average. For pancakes or ti-punsch
Review by Portman
Round, clean, a good Agricole that lacks only a little fruitiness for me. For a fairly young Agricole a bit too unspectacular, but still a good, rich and complex rum, if you feel a little into it.
Review by Patrik Onderka
My first agricole rum tasting. It was so different to spanish & british rums I usually taste. It is distinguishable and interesting . However I need to find a way how to enjoy it more :-).

Nice round Agricol
Review by Émile Shevek
Delicate and soft with woody and nutty notes on the finish and a small fruity and corn streak
Review by Benoit Bail
A perfect rum for preparing old-fashioned dishes.
Review by Yann Thom
Lacks complexity, very light but not unpleasant. Suitable for an old-fashioned cocktail.
