Saint James Cœur de chauffe
Fresh-cut grass, sugarcane and a hit of black pepper straight off the still — this is unaged Martinique agricole at full 60% throttle. A few tasters catch light citrus, yellow fruit and even a faint solvent edge. Neat it's hot and green; most members reach for it in a Ti Punch, where it shows a deep red-berry side with just a little lime.
The community says- Fresh grassy cane
- Great in Ti Punch
- But: Hot neat

Aggregated from 58 community reviews.
Peppery unaged agricole built for Ti Punch Most owners rate it a fine cane-juice blanc — pepper-driven and hot neat, but it really comes alive in a Ti Punch, and people call the price-to-quality hard to beat.

Palate Intense, sugarcane, berries, light citrus, medium dry, medium spicy, light floral. Finish Long and warm, spicy, sugarcane, light citrus, light floral. Extra note. Need to rest for a good while to settle and release all its flavours.

This Saint James at ABV 60% made from cane juice is not distilled in an column still as most of their produced rum, instead it’s double distilled in copper pot stills. So because of that it’s an Agricole without being an AOC rum. It makes a good Ti Punch.
Review by Timo Groeger
Unaged Agricole, the second one. Again, a lot of cane, otherwise, of course, very vegetal, very floral, fresh, grassy and earthy. You really can't go wrong with this nice Agricole.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A superb white, with a lovely texture.
Review by Fuwi
Ungelagerter Agricole der breitbeinig mit 60% ins Glas kommt. Er zieht leichte, ölige Schlieren an der Glasinnenseite, duftet dabei schön nach frischem Gras und leichten Zitrusnoten und gelben Früchten, dazu leicht chemische Noten wie Lösungsmittel oder Lack. Am Gaumen schönes Zuckerrohr-Aroma, hinten raus am Gaumen Salzlake und Anklänge grüner Oliven. Muss ich mal im Ti'Punch testen, könnte gut klappen
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
After a rousing review by thelonecaner bought this pot still agricole. Was initially too violent for me, esp. the earthy aromas that made me think the sugar cane roots to chew - an impression that has become much weaker over three quarters of a year. Alcohol is well integrated, but 60% brings a certain sharpness. In the meantime I appreciate it, especially in Ti Punch with only a little lime it develops a deep red berryiness. The is also my secret ingredient in the Mai Tai.
Review by Montana
A fruity smell of sugar cane, grass, typical Agricole, some honey.In the taste rather surprisingly little sugar cane, some pepper, slightly fruity.A very tasty Agricole.
Review by Christoph
Pure for me no pleasure, but brilliant in Ti'Punch. There I like it even better than the HSE 55, which was otherwise my "standard" in terms of unripe Agricoles.
Review by Yann Thom
Very good in ti-punch but really pure. A success.
Review by ilRummista
One of my favorite whites. The sugarcane flavor is obviously dominant. In value for money it is definitely one of the best white rums!
Review by Righrum
Incredibile
Review by Jacek Czarnigowski
Agicole w pełnej krasie. Zapach trawy, kwiatów, świeczek łąki z nutkami bimbru. Wytrawny, bogaty smak z wyraźnymi nutami trawy ale także alembika. Grzeje. Finisz słodkawy, alkoholowy bimbru. Znakomity do drinków.
