Saint James Hors d‘Age
Most tasters land on "a nice agricole, nothing surprising": grassy sugarcane, floral notes, dried fruit and a clear woody, tannic dry finish. The metallic edge is the talking point — some find it interesting, others find it sharp. A few feel it tastes a little watered-down at 43%, and one reviewer thought it leaned too close to a young brandy.
- Floral cane character
- Aged woody notes
- Great in Ti Punch

Dry, woody agricole with a metallic edge A pleasant, very dry Saint James agricole with floral cane, oak and a metallic bitter streak. Well liked overall, though a few find it thin or too sharp.

Good work by the master and good value for money
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
unfortunately not my cup of tea, very woody, metallic and sharp-edged and goes more in the direction of a very young brandy/cognac. too bad.

Review by Smighty
It has some metalic notes. Really interesting and highly enjoyable rum. In short: would recommend
Review by Agricoler
My first introduction to Agricole rum. A good if somewhat special introduction. This rum does have some metallic tones that may be a little annoying. Top in Ti Punch!!!!!!!
Review by Tim
Solid agricole with a typical floral profile, but somewhat sharp and quite bitter/sour in the mouth. The chocolate and fruit notes are always present, as well as a certain tobacco/smoky aroma.
Review by primus
Toller Agricole, bei dem sich die Floralität gar nicht aufdrängt. Das Alter bringt sich mit den fassigen Holznoten und Früchten gut ein, der Rum hat eine angenehme, metallische Bitternote und ist sehr trocken.
Review by Frank
Actually a nice Agricole, fine fruitiness, slightly woody, but too diluted for my taste. There are better things...
Review by Noname971
Bon rhum, attaque très appréciable et fruitée, sensation très vite cassée par les notes de boisé qui perdurent jusqu'à la finale.
