Saint James Royal Ambre 18-Mois

All of Saint James Rhums are noteworthy. Royal Ambre is lighter than the Reserve, and both sippible and improves any cocktail.

It's not really a sipping rum but it's a great Agricole for newbies to mix a better than average Mojito or a good 'Ti Punch. Compared to other Rhums Agricoles Ambrés it's cheap and easy to get even outside of France. Would always prefer it over a standard Havana 3 or at least use it in combination. Can't actually do much wrong with it although it's far behind the full skills developement of agricoles....

Non male per costare così poco, c'è sicuramente di meglio ma anche di molto peggio.
Ottimo nei cocktail, bevuto da solo non brilla per evolutività.
In definitiva un entry level per iniziare a scoprire gli Agricoli.

Nose was mostly a woody alcohol combo.
Taste was rather bitter, burnt a little, no real flavours coming through.
Unpleasant bitter aftertaste which unfortunately lingered in a long finish.

Un produit franc, une belle couleur ambre, pas trop sucré, fruitée légèrement

I like Rhum Agricole. Sometimes they taste as if you are chewing on grass or leaves or hay (makes you feel healthy though) but I do not find that unpleasant. In fact, after discarding many rums as 'too sweet', Rhum Agricoles taste very honest and adult these days. I encountered this particular bottle at a party. Its only competition - in the 'spirits to be drunk straight' department - was a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. Which I think is vile stuff. All the seasoned (whisky)drinkers agreed and preferred the Saint James and we drank the bottle. Very decent stuff.

Très bien pour une variante ambrée du Ti'punch.Titrant à 42°,il donne un bon goût boisé.

rich flavors in the nose. i don't understand why some other reviewers were harsh on it. I tried many supposedly better jamaican rhums and they could not compare. I am not a drinker, but i appreciate how smooth rhum agricole is.

This rhum is also excellent for cooking given the price and will give incredible aroma to cakes with nuts.
