Saint James Âge XV 15 Ans (Le Comptoir Irlandais) 2007
Sip this one neat and slow — it's cask strength but the alcohol sits well. The nose is classic Saint James: waxed wood, spice and floral yellow fruit. On the palate the wood takes over, with black chocolate, cardamom, coffee and a chili prickle. Several tasters call it their brightest, most fruit-forward Saint James, though the fruit fades fast into oak.
The community says- Bright yellow fruit

On the nose, the Saint James profile is immediately apparent: wood, spices and a beautiful floral side with associated yellow fruit. It's fine and smells good. On the palate, it's quite pleasant, but loses all its fruitiness to spices, pepper and dark chocolate. A fine bottle without being exceptional, with good integration of the alcohol. Lacks a little length.

#4465 12.11. 2023 Very nice rum and the price to quality is very good in my mind. Fruity with nice spices and some added wood. Light Agricole notes. The palate is oily and fruity with a light mint note. The finish is medium to long with light added cinnamon. The empty glass has some chocolate and a light grassy note.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
Très beau rapport qualité-prix dans le contexte actuel. Ce rhum offre un profil agricole fidèle à Saint James. Le nez s’ouvre sur des délicieuses notes boisées et florales, rehaussées de fruits jaunes mûrs. En bouche, le boisé est encore très présent, une pointe de chocolat noir apporte de la profondeur. L’alcool est parfaitement intégré, offrant une dégustation précise et équilibrée
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Saure rote Johannisbeeren, Trockenfrüchte, grüner würziger Kardamom, grüne Minze und Menthol, Äthiopischer cold brew Kaffee, leicht Vanille und dunkle Schokolade und ganz dezent grüne Thai Chili sowie Zimt und Tiramisu... Sau lecker, rund und intensiv. Geiles Teil!
Review by jOAK
By far the brightest Saint Jaimes I tried and quite a unique release from a distillery that usually produce some of the boldest of rhums coming from Martinique, as far as I reckon. This is my favourite release which stands out from everything else I tried from them and it reminds me of the rhums coming from Dillon and Depaz with the typical flavours of yellow fruits. Que rico!
Review by Guérick Hunaut
The quintessence of St James rhum agricole The character of the cane and the smoothness of the oak barrel selected by Marc Sassier guarantee a long finish and remarkable complexity. A fine selection for the Rugby World Cup! To be enjoyed without moderation, despite its 54% alcohol content, which will delight fans of traditional French rums!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Les bonus de la soirée Saint James 2007 – Le Comptoir Irlandais – 54,7 % Collaboration limitée entre Saint James et Le Comptoir Irlandais. Brut de fût de 15 ans, distillé en colonne créole et vieilli intégralement sous climat tropical. Comme le dit Marc Sassier : “La puissance au service des arômes.” Un beau moment de Martinique, boisé et chocolaté à souhait.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Naso molto “HLCF” per colla e banana matura , non mi soddisfa Bocca agricola , più ruvida Alcol ben presente , retrogusto agricolo , rilascia una piacevole “dolcezza” nel finale Ma la lingua è arsa E poco appagante Mi aspettavo di più
Review by Righrum
The nose is pretty typical St James, but you can have a preview of the tannic astringency you'll meet when drinking. Very floral at the beginning, the nose then turns into coffee and wood. On the palate the wood is overwhelming, it's a pity because profile is pretty nice
Review by Quentin Rum
A powerful St James, precious wood, vibrant, confident, ultra-dense and compact. Some would say too woody, but I think we're on the markers of a great old spinnaker...
Review by Tendero Pablo
The typical profile of Saint James ...a woody presence right away ....integration rather accomplished and an explosive palate on spices, cardamom, chocolate and pepper ... Average length...a very pretty martiniquais.
Review by laudhar
Unsurprisingly for St James, the first nose is very woody, almost waxed parquet I find. The palate is spicy, even spicy. Chocolate aromas follow.
