Saint James Hors d'Age
Most tasters land on "a nice agricole" — grassy, floral, dry, with real oak from the aging. But opinions split on two things: several find it a touch watered-down at 43%, and that metallic, bitter edge divides people. One member's first agricole ever, another says it drifts toward a young cognac. Expect sugarcane, wood, citrus and a distinct mineral, metallic note.
The community says- Classic agricole profile
- Woody, aged depth
- But: Metallic bitterness

The look inside the bottle
How does Saint James Hors d'Age taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Dry woody agricole with a metallic edge A pleasant, dry Martinique agricole with woody depth, but the thin body and sharp metallic bitterness keep some tasters lukewarm. Nice in a Ti Punch.

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.
