Saint James 7 Ans
Sip it neat or over ice and you get the Saint James signature: wood up front, then dried fruit, apple, cinnamon and honeyed sugarcane, with toasted, coffee-like notes deeper in. One taster called it "fresh rather than overly grassy," which sums up this aged agricole well. The finish turns a touch earthy and nutty, and a few felt it thins out at the end.
The community says- Balanced wood and cane

How does Saint James 7 Ans taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Wood-forward aged agricole with dried fruit Most find it a balanced, wood-forward Martinique agricole with real fruit and spice. A couple wanted more depth on the finish, and one German taster found it a bit angular.

Review by Oliver
Angular Agricole
Review by TheRhumhoe
A quality Saint James, with a particularly fruity nose. Apple and dried fruit mingle with honeyed sugar cane, spices (cinnamon) and woody, toasty notes to create a nose that is at once greedy, elegant and pleasant. The attack on the palate returns to a darker profile of woody, spicy and caffeinated notes. Candied cane and caramel mingle with a lightly fruity frame to offer something round and controlled, all in the spirit of Saint James. The finish is slightly earthier, with hints of walnut, toast and sweet spices. The finish lacks the roundness and depth of the rest. A pleasant, well-balanced rum, offering a little more indulgence and slightly more exotic aromas than the distillery can offer in its permanent range.
Review by Rumbaer
In der Nase grüne Noten, Gras, Zuckerrohr, etwas erdig Im Mund ist das Holz zuerst dominant, dann scheinen die grünen Noten mit dem Zuckerrohr durch. Ganz angenehm und ich denke für alles die mit Agricole starten wollen eine gute Wahl die nicht überfordert.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a perfect rum for a 7 year one. We'll balanced in acidity and sweetness. Wonderful rum that I can recommend.
Review by Noname971
The first impression on the nose is of wood and cane. On the palate, the woodiness remains very present, which for me is a very strong marker of Saint-James. Nuts take over, followed by particularly smoky aromas. The fairly long finish lingers on fresh cane.
Review by Christophe Milot
"The gateway to the SAINT JAMES Distillery trilogy of age accounts, this Très Vieux Rhum Agricole is the fruit of a minimum of 7 years' controlled aging in a tropical climate in our cellars. The notes of roasting developed in contact with selected small oak barrels evolve towards a warm finish of sweet spices". Marc Sassier, Saint James oenologist COLOR: Mahogany-copper NOSE: An initial nose of sweet spices (cinnamon on a vanilla background) mingled with dominant dried and candied fruits. PALATE: Tannins add length, carrying roasted notes to a warm finish. How to enjoy? Source: Rhum Saint James
Review by Cachac 23
Floral and slightly fruity nose, strong attack on the palate with spicy and woody tastes. I expected better

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →It has however enough vibrancy and freshness to remind you it is a Cane Juice product. It's fresh rather than overly grassy and its a really good rhum. I'm very fond of this particular Agricole Rhum and I think it is a very good example of the style. Really impressive.
