Saint James Blanc
Mostly a Ti'Punch and cocktail rum, though it holds up neat better than you'd expect for a supermarket bottle. The nose is fresher and more floral than the price suggests — sugarcane, cut grass, a little lime and pepper. At 55% it stays accessible, but the body runs thin and the finish fades fast. Simple but does its job.
The community says- Fresh floral nose
- Great in Ti'Punch
- Thin body

Fresh, floral agricole built for Ti'Punch Most see it as a fair everyday agricole that shines in a Ti'Punch. A few find it thin and unremarkable neat, but nobody feels shortchanged.

Review by TheRhumhoe
A surprisingly fragrant nose for a supermarket rum. It's dry but fresh at the same time, with lovely floral and grassy notes, before sugarcane and exotic fruit come in to reveal a little sweetness. There's a hint of spiciness that tantalizes the nose. It's not the deepest nose ever, but you can smell it. On the palate, the rum is quite accessible despite its 55%. Sugar cane and candied fruit give it plenty of sweetness, while floral and grassy notes permeate the palate with freshness. Lime and spicy notes enhance the whole. Simple but effective. The finish is fairly short, but the freshness of the floral and herbal notes remains with the sweetness of sugarcane and fruit. This may not be the most complex, aromatic rum around, but for a supermarket rum, it serves its purpose well. It also goes very well in cocktails.

This standard AOC Agricole Blanc from Saint James in Martinique doesn’t offer anything special. It’s just OK neat, but works well in a Ti’Punch. The nose is fresh, spicy and floral with scents of sugarcane and honey. At the palate and during the medium long finish is spicy, floral and fruity with a flavor of pepper.

#4550 15.01.2024 Sitting at home relaxing enjoying that my last visits to the hospital for scans etc. came back without any comments so thus far very positive. Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money. This may be a rum for mixing, but it still does pretty well as a sipper. Fruity and fresh with nice Agricole notes. Love the floral and sugarcane notes in the profile. The palate is warm and fresh and the finish is medium to long with a nice spicy/warm touch. The empty glass has some light nutts and faint herbs.

It comes across as quite thin... does not meet my expectations
