Anyone who leans toward the wood-forward side of agricole will feel at home here. This 10-year Saint James is all cedar, dried plum, tobacco and vanilla, with cocoa and pepper underneath. Give it plenty of air and it opens up. Several tasters call it a rounded, easy agricole; a few find the oak too dominant and the finish a touch dry and sharp.

How does Saint James XO Rhum Vieux Agricole taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Wood-forward, dried-fruit 10-year agricole Most find it a balanced, wood-heavy agricole that rewards resting in the glass. The catch: the oak can bury the cane fruit, and some read it as too dry and peppery.

The "prototype Agricole". On the one hand complex vegetable-fruity profile, on the other extremely balanced and in this case positively "flat" profile.

Pleasant but too woody for me
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
You get a lot for your money here and I do recommend people to give it a try. I do know its not the top range but still a very good blend. Leave to rest for a while to get the full experience. The nose is fresh and intense with wood, vanilla and plum as well as light cocoa and roasted notes. The palate is well balanced with fruit, wood, vanilla, cocoa, tobacco and light nuts. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, wood and chocolate. Leave the glass for a few hours and nose it again for even stronger flavours.
Review by Renato
Woody, acidic finish.
Review by Oliver
Accessible, round Agricole. Uncomplicated. Pleases me well.
Review by ElReyTristan
Nice nose, but a little too much on the tertiary aromas of the barrel. The fruitiness of the base juice has perhaps given way too much to the oak barrel. On the palate, it's still very woody and rather spicy, the pepper takes up a lot of space and the juice lacks roundness and deliciousness. The finish is moderately long but interesting, with some chocolate notes. Perhaps it should be enjoyed again with a gourmet cigar to counterbalance it.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very tasty, complex and harmonious Agricole!
Review by Adrian Adame
Color golden brown. Nose gentle, slightly agricole, rich, tobacco, spices and yellow fruit. Taste sweetish, yellow fruit, honey, sugar cane, spices.

Review by JonasTh
Tasty, but not very special.
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
A very particular and very present woodiness that may displease, but which reveals something quite interesting or even indulgent behind it. To see after good aeration?
Review by Leslie Haigh
very good rum beautiful to sip
Review by Pongo
Milder , fruchtiger Agricole. Noten von Aprikosen und Vanille.
Review by Jan Sajbrt
Extra ovocne, ladna silna vune, ovocne... dobre.
Review by Christophe Fertel
Well-balanced, with a delightful nose and powerful fruitiness.
Review by Tupiaz
Næsen: blinde blomster noter, sødme, kryddert En let sødme i starten som overtages af en meget krydret smag. Det er en man god kan nyde i et stykke tid og finde nuancer i. Efter smagen er dog medium-kort.
Review by Richard Krupa
Dalsi z jemnych agricole, vyrazne anyz, trochu pomeranc

Rumfest 2023 tasting so notes were brief
Review by Slivomír
The aroma is wonderful, pronounced wood, mushrooms, a bit medicinal, black currants, later also vanilla. The taste is interesting and pleasant, again wood and berry fruit. The aftertaste is surprisingly long, at the end red currants popped up.

Read full review ›Aside from my immature (palate wise) comments regarding the Royal Ambre Rhum - a review which I urgently need to re-visit. As soon as I can get another bottle. Sadly supplies of that rhum are hard to come by. I'm really quite beginning to enjoy dipping into Agricole. Any further...
