  Expert Description

  A1710 La Perle 2021 Rhum Blanc Extraordinaire is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled unaged at its natural strength of 54.5%.

  La Perle comes from the same small distillery as Diamond Rock, but differs through a longer fermentation process of 5 to 7 days, giving a more complex distillate. The sugar cane juice, called vesou, is double distilled several days apart and bottled with no reduction, preserving the distillate's natural strength and every nuance from the long fermentation. Only 750 bottles of this limited release were drawn in 2021.

  The result is a gentle, unctuous rhum with remarkable depth for an unaged white rum.

  Tasting Notes

  Palate

  Soft and unctuous with lime, sugar cane and pear, supported by a balanced iodine note.

  Clement Creole Shrubb D'Orange Martinique Rum Liqueur 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865449-8790

  Créole Shrubb is the house's take on an old Martinique tradition, where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for a full year, not just a couple of weeks.

  Expert Description

  Clément Créole Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with orange peel and bottled at 40%.

  The base is a blend of young and six-year-old cask-aged rhum agricole from Habitation Clément, which is combined and then aged with orange peels in 250-litre oak casks for a full year. That's an unusually long maceration period for a shrubb liqueur, giving the orange aromas time to penetrate deep into the rum before the blend is sweetened with natural cane syrup and bottled.

  The result is a liqueur where both the bitter and sweet sides of the orange come through, supported by a distinct spice profile from the long cask ageing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Orange peel and acacia honey, with a hint of white pepper and green, herbal cane.

  Palate

  Rich orange and mandarin peel with white chocolate, vanilla and honey, carried by an enlivening black pepper.

  Finish

  Long, citrus-filled finish with herbal rum and a light hint of white pepper.

  Did You Know?

  Créole Shrubb is macerated for a full year in oak casks, while many other orange shrubb liqueurs settle for just a couple of weeks of steeping, making Clément's version one of the most time-consuming in its category.

  Clement Mahina Coco Martinique Coconut Rum Liqueur 70 cl 18%

  Item no.: 22227865449-8789

  Three ingredients, one goal: capturing the taste of a fresh, young coconut on Martinique. Mahina Coco deliberately keeps it simple, where many other coconut liqueurs reach for artificial flavourings.

  Expert Description

  Clément Mahina Coco is a Martinique Coconut Rum Liqueur made from young coconuts, rum and cane syrup, bottled at 18%.

  The liqueur from Habitation Clément is built on just three ingredients: fresh, unripe coconut, the house's own rhum agricole and natural cane syrup. This minimalist approach stands in contrast to many international coconut liqueurs, which often use added flavourings to achieve a strong coconut taste. The name Mahina is Polynesian for "moon", a reference to the round, white coconut and to Martinique's tropical, island-inspired mood.

  The result is a round, natural coconut liqueur where the agricole-based rum can still be traced as a light, herbal undertone.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Strong, fresh coconut with tones of toasted coconut and freshly cut grass.

  Palate

  Round and sweet with roasted nuts and sweet, fresh coconut flesh, balanced by a light acidity.

  Finish

  Lingering with shredded coconut and a peppery hint from the underlying rum.

  Clement Premiere Canne Rhum Agricole Martinique White Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18956

  First harvest, first pressing, first bottle. Première Canne is Clément in its most unprocessed form, a white rum that lets the sugar cane speak, without a single cask allowed to interfere.

  Expert Description

  Clément Première Canne is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is distilled at the Fonds-Préville distillery, while ageing and bottling take place at the historic Habitation Clément in Le François. After distillation the rum rests for nine months in stainless steel before being brought down to drinking strength with volcanic spring water from Martinique's mountains and bottled without cask ageing.

  The name Première Canne, "first sugar cane", refers to the fresh, unprocessed style, where the soft floral notes and green, herbal character of the freshly harvested cane juice stand out clearly.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft fruit blossoms, yellow apple and citrus, complemented by greengage plum, herbal and fresh notes.

  Palate

  Cocoa bean, bittersweet chocolate and black tea meet fresh grass and beans, closing on a graceful, lightly caramelised finish.

  Finish

  Clean and lightly salty, reminiscent of manzanilla sherry or buttered popcorn.

  Clement Rare Cask Collection 2002 Abraham Single Cask Martinique Rum 50 cl 56.6%

  Item no.: 22227865449-87953

  Named after a person, not a place or a technique. Abraham is one of the individual casks in Clément's Rare Cask Collection, where each single cask gets its own name and its own story.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rare Cask Collection 2002 Abraham is a Martinique Rhum Agricole from a single cask, distilled in 2002, aged 15 years and bottled at 56.6%.

  The rum is column-distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément and has since rested 15 years in a single, selected cask, before being bottled undiluted as part of the house's Rare Cask Collection. The series is defined by each cask being allowed to stand alone and be bottled under its own name, in this case Abraham, rather than being blended with other casks, giving each release its own personality. 391 bottles were produced from this cask.

  After 15 years of maturation in Martinique's tropical climate, the rum has developed a deep complexity that sits far from the house's younger VSOP and XO editions.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fruity with liquorice and a mocha-like depth.

  Palate

  Complex with apple and a dry, structured body.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with a lingering hint of fruit and liquorice.

  Clement Rare Cask Collection 2002 Angelique Single Cask Martinique Rum 50 cl 53,4%

  Item no.: 22227865449-1787

  One cask, one vintage, 380 bottles. The Rare Cask Collection is where Clément lets a single, chosen barrel speak for itself, without blending it into the house's larger, better-known series.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rare Cask Collection 2002 Angelique is a Martinique Rhum Agricole from a single cask and bottled at 53.4%.

  The rum was distilled in 2002 at the Clément distillery at Habitation Clément in Le François, Martinique, from fresh sugar cane juice on column stills following the classic Rhum Agricole method. After more than 15 years of ageing, the cask, named Angelique, was bottled as a standalone single cask release with a total outturn of just 380 bottles, making it one of the rarest releases in the Rare Cask Collection.

  As a Rhum Agricole, the base is fresh-pressed cane juice rather than molasses, giving a greener, more herbal and citrus-driven character than most molasses-based rums, a style that becomes even more pronounced after such extended ageing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Classic agricole character with mint and pineapple that unfolds slowly in the glass.

  Palate

  Fresh with grass and citrus, carried by the persistent agricole character of the fresh cane juice.

  Finish

  Clean and lightly dry, where the citrus lingers long after the initial sweetness has settled.

  Clement Rhum Agricole Blanc Canne Bleue Martinique Rum 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 22227865449-8385

  A single cane variety, grown for its own sake. Canne Bleue is Clément's tribute to a cane variety that's harder to grow, but that delivers a far more intense rum in return.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rhum Agricole Blanc Canne Bleue is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled exclusively from the blue cane variety and bottled at 50%.

  Canne Bleue, or "blue cane", is an older and less widely grown variety than the more common cane typically used in rhum agricole. The variety is known for a lower yield and for being more sensitive to weather conditions, but in return it delivers a markedly more intense and aromatic juice. Clément has chosen to bottle this edition uncut at 50%, a higher strength than the house's standard Blanc, precisely to let the cane variety's full character shine through.

  The result is a rum that's even sharper and more mineral than the classic Rhum Blanc Agricole, with an intensity that demands respect.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Exotic fruit mixed with orange blossom, softened by light honey, along with pink pepper, green apples and fresh cane juice.

  Palate

  Lively, dry and powerful with lime, herbs, white pepper and mineral freshness, supported by meringue and cucumber.

  Finish

  Long and clearly structured, with earthy and herbal nuances and a tingling pepper.

  Clement Rhum Blanc Agricole Martinique White Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865449-189578

  No barrels, no waiting. Clément Blanc Agricole goes from cane field to bottle in under a day, preserving a raw, green freshness that few rum styles can match.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rhum Blanc Agricole is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh cane juice and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is produced at the Habitation Clément distillery in Le François, Martinique, one of the island's oldest and most respected distilleries, founded in 1887 by Homère Clément. The cane is harvested and pressed the same day, after which the juice is fermented and column-distilled within hours, a method at the heart of the AOC Martinique classification. The rum rests briefly in steel tanks after distillation, with no cask ageing, so the green, herbal character of the cane is preserved intact.

  This unaged style is the backbone of the classic Ti' Punch and is used across Martinique as an everyday drink.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh and green with pronounced cane juice, lemongrass and a hint of white pepper.

  Palate

  Clean and sharp with green cane, lime and a mineral, slightly saline undertone.

  Expert Description

  Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole Cuvee Homere is a Martinique Rhum Agricole with no age statement, a blend of rhum aged 7 to 15 years, bottled at 44%.

  The rum is distilled from fresh sugar cane juice at the Fonds-Préville distillery on Martinique and carries the official AOC Martinique designation, guaranteeing every stage of production. After open-tank fermentation with French baker's yeast for 24 hours, the rum is distilled on a Creole copper column still, after which the cellar master selects his favourite distillates from the past fifteen years, aged in French Limousin oak barrels and re-charred bourbon barrels. The name honours Homère Clément, the distillery's founder.

  The result is a velvety, complex rhum, where spiced oak meets dried tropical fruit and roasted nuts.

  Tasting Notes

  Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole Select Barrel Martinique Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18962

  Select Barrel is Clément's take on an entry point into the older agricole rums, neither fully young nor fully old, but exactly the spot where cane and oak meet in good balance.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole Select Barrel is a Martinique Rhum Agricole selected from particularly characterful casks and bottled at 40%.

  Like the other Vieux expressions from Clément, the rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François, then aged in French oak casks under Martinique's tropical climate. Select Barrel differs in that the finished product is assembled from casks chosen specifically for their balance of fruit, spice and wood, a process that gives a more approachable and softer style than the more uncompromising VSOP.

  The result is a rum that retains the green, herbal cane character but with a rounder, more relaxed presentation thanks to the careful cask selection.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft vanilla and light caramel, with cane and a touch of tropical fruit in the background.

  Palate

  Round and lightly sweet with brown sugar, mild spice and a fresh herbal core.

  Finish

  Short to medium, soft and slightly dry, with a closing hint of cane.

  Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole VSOP Martinique Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18960

  From green and sharp to deep and round. Clément VSOP shows what French oak can do for a rhum agricole when it's given at least four years to settle.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole VSOP is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged at least four years in French oak casks and bottled at 42-45%.

  The rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François and then aged under Martinique's tropical sun, where evaporation is far faster than in a colder climate. The tropical climate forces the rum to absorb colour and flavour from the oak in a shorter time, giving VSOP surprising depth for its age. The casks have often previously held cognac or other French spirits, adding a light winey character to the agricole's typically green base.

  The result balances the raw, herbal cane character with dried fruit, spice and a soft wood sweetness.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dried fruit and light vanilla, with a lingering hint of cane and freshly planed wood underneath.

  Palate

  Round and spiced with brown sugar, toasted oak and a hint of apricot.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and lightly spiced, with a closing herbal freshness from the cane.

  Because of Martinique's tropical heat, far more rum evaporates from the casks each year than in Scottish or Irish climates, the so-called "angels' share", meaning rhum agricole matures faster and more intensely than whisky of the same age.

  Clement Rhum Vieux Agricole XO Martinique Rum 70 cl 42%

  Item no.: 22227865449-311

  Half new, half charred Limousin oak. Clément XO is the expression where the house goes furthest with its cask selection, and where the result moves far from the green, young agricole style.

  Expert Description

  Clément Rhum Vieux Agricole XO is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged at least six years in French Limousin oak casks and bottled at 42%.

  The rum is distilled from fresh cane juice at Habitation Clément in Le François and then aged in a combination of casks, half of which are brand new and the other half heavily charred on the inside. This two-part cask strategy is at the heart of XO's character, where the new casks add spice and vanilla sweetness while the charred casks provide a deeper, smoky wood structure.

  The combination of the two cask types over at least six years produces a rum markedly more complex than the house's younger VSOP, with a richness that approaches cognac in its elegance.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe apples and true cinnamon, accompanied by a discreet smoky note of charred wood, complemented by honeysuckle, candied orange peel and vanilla with hints of clove, black tea, nuts and dark chocolate.

  Palate

  Very elegant with vanilla, liquorice and white pepper.

  Finish

  A long fade of charred sugarcane, coconut custard, peppery spices and a delicate mineral wetness.

  Expert Description

  Habitation St. Etienne 1998 Single Cask is a Martinique Rhum Agricole from a single cask, distilled in 1998 and bottled at 47.8%.

This 2002 vintage has undergone an extra finishing period in sherry casks, adding a sweet, nutty dimension to the classic, aromatic rhum agricole style. The sherry casks complement the fresh, grassy base with a layer of dried fruit and spice that sets this release apart from HSE's purer single cask editions.

  The result is a full-bodied, complex rum, where the freshness of the sugarcane meets sherry sweetness and nutty notes in a long, rounded finish.

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Black Sheriff American Barrel Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280423

  HSE, one of Martinique's most respected rhum agricole houses, sends this release through American bourbon casks from Kentucky and Missouri for a warmer, more approachable profile.

  Expert Description

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Black Sheriff American Barrel is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, a blend of rum between 3 and 4 years, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and aged in American bourbon casks, bottled at 40%.

  HSE, whose full name is Habitation Saint-Étienne, was revived in 1994 by Yves and José Hayot and took on its current identity as Rhum HSE in 2008. The Black Sheriff release uses exclusively casks from American bourbon producers in Kentucky and Missouri, giving the rum a warmer, more spiced sweetness than the fresher, more classic agricole style often associated with Martinique.

  The result is a rich, aromatic rum where sweetness from the American oak meets classic agricole fruitiness.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and honey beneath elegant woody notes, with caramel and a hint of black pepper and nutmeg.

  Palate

  Round and sweet with raisin, apple tart and lychee, supported by spice and toasted oak.

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865379-9695

  No cask ageing, no colour, no detours – just fresh sugarcane juice distilled and bottled almost immediately.

  Expert description

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and bottled at 40% with no prior cask ageing.

  Because Martinique's AOC rules allow rhum agricole to be sold immediately after distillation with no minimum ageing requirement, the Blanc expression retains the full fresh, green cane character that is otherwise gradually softened by years of cask influence in the house's other releases such as VSOP and XO. This makes it the purest, most direct introduction to what rhum agricole from Martinique actually tastes like.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  An explosion of fresh aromas with dominant notes of fresh sugarcane and a light floral touch, complemented by tropical fruit, mashed banana and hibiscus.

  Palate

  Clean and powerful with vanilla, powdered sugar, grassy cane, lime rind, pepper, a hint of chili, pineapple and banana.

  Finish

  Peppery and long, with a persistent finish that echoes the fresh cane character.

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc Rum 50%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972804309

  No cask ageing, no filter for time, just fresh sugar cane juice from Martinique distilled and bottled directly, so the island's soil and climate speak without detour.

  Expert Description

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled unaged at 50%.

  This white rhum agricole from HSE, whose full name is Habitation Saint-Étienne, shows the distillate's pure character with no cask influence at all. Unlike the house's Black Sheriff, which ages in American bourbon casks, this release goes straight from the distillation column to the bottle, preserving the fresh, green intensity of the newly harvested cane. The intense, bold nose combines floral and fruity notes with a hint of white pepper, while the palate shows the cane's full ripeness.

  The result is a clear, powerful rhum that shows Martinique's agricole tradition in its purest form.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense and bold with floral and fruity notes plus a hint of white pepper over fresh sugar cane.

  Palate

  Clean and powerful with notes of fully ripe sugar cane, supported by a light peppery sharpness.

  Finish

  Long and lingering with a lightly peppery conclusion that builds on the fresh sweetness.

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Extra Vieux XO Rom 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865379-11

  Some of the rums in this bottle are older than most of the people drinking it – a few of HSE's oldest stocks date all the way back to the 1960s.

  Expert description

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Extra Vieux XO is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, blended from rums matured for at least a decade in carefully selected Cognac casks and bottled at 43%.

  The XO expression draws on some of the oldest stocks in HSE's cellars at Habitation Saint-Étienne, some of which date back to the 1960s. Because the rum has rested in Cognac casks rather than the more common American oak, it takes on a deep amber colour and a profile that leans on Cognac tradition's finesse rather than rum's typical sweetness.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Complex yet not overwhelming, with light, fresh fruit notes, a grassy character and sweet mocha, complemented by pronounced notes of cocoa, mocha and pale tobacco with a hint of black pepper and nutmeg.

  Palate

  An explosion of flavour, with dry, strong oak, tobacco and smoke, balanced by a pleasant, light floral sweetness.

  Finish

  Surprisingly long and warming.

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Trés Vieux VSOP Rum 70 cl 45%

  Item no.: 22227865379-0

  On an old sugarcane plantation in Gros-Morne, this rum matures for years while the protected brick buildings around the casks are a reminder that distilling here goes back to the 1800s.

  Expert description

  Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Très Vieux VSOP is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, matured in American oak casks and bottled at 45%.

  The rum is distilled at the Simon distillery in Le François and then aged in the historic cellars at Habitation Saint-Étienne itself in Gros-Morne, where the Hayot family has restored the old sugarcane plantation since 1994. Because it is a Rhum Agricole, it is pressed exclusively from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving it a greener, creole starting point that the long ageing in American oak then layers with caramel and spice.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Candied fruit such as apricot, peach and cantaloupe, followed by roasted almonds, caramel, milky coffee and a touch of clove, with a hint of grape must.

  Palate

  Broad and warm on the attack, settling softly on the palate without heaviness, smooth and round with an aromatic finish mirroring the nose.

  Finish

  Creole and spiced with a fine, lingering warmth from the long cask ageing.

  Rhum JM Shrubb D'Orange Martinique Liqueur Rum 35%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18955

  Shrubb is an old Caribbean tradition where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for weeks. Rhum JM's version adds spice and vanilla to the mix, creating a liqueur far more complex than the name suggests.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with bitter orange peel and bottled at 35%.

  The base is a blend of white rum and three-year-old cask-aged rum from the Fonds-Préville distillery, macerated with bitter orange peel, natural cane syrup, and vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg for several weeks. The shrubb tradition dates back to a time when Caribbean households used citrus peel maceration in rum as a way to make full use of the fruit, long before it became a cocktail ingredient.

  The result is a liqueur that sits somewhere between an English orange marmalade and a spiced digestif, where the mild agricole rum binds the orange's bitterness together with sweetness and spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Candied orange peel and cranberry-orange muffin, opening toward a bright orange sorbet.

  Palate

  Sweet and fruity with candied orange and spice, harmoniously woven into the mild agricole rum.

  Finish

  Long with a lively hint of lime zest and freshly grated nutmeg.

  Rhum JM VO Rhum Agricole Martinique Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18952

  In the shadow of Mount Pelée, where the soil is black with volcanic ash, sits one of Martinique's oldest distilleries. Rhum JM is considered by many to be the first to ever put Rhum Agricole into production, and VO is the house's accessible entry point into the older, cask-aged style.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM VO is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged in oak casks on volcanic terroir and bottled at 43%.

  The rum is distilled at the Fonds-Préville distillery in Macouba, in the northeast of Martinique, where Rhum JM has been producing since 1845. The distillery sits at the foot of the active volcano Mount Pelée, and the volcanic soil is thought to give the sugar cane a particular mineral richness that later shows through in the rum. VO is the house's youngest cask-aged expression and a fitting starting point for exploring the older style.

  After a short period in oak, the rum takes on a character that's lighter and more straightforward than the older VSOP and XO expressions, but already carries clear traces of wood and spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Heavy with oak and vanilla, complemented by dried fruit and coconut, opening with time in the glass toward grilled tropical fruit.

  Palate

  Round and lightly toasted with natural sweetness, a hint of cinnamon, faint grassy character and a touch of banana.

  Finish

  Medium length with oak, fruit and natural sweetness, where a faint smokiness and pineapple appear towards the end.

  Rhum JM VSOP Rhum Agricole Martinique Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865449-18953

  Two kinds of cask, two stretches of time. Rhum JM VSOP rests first in used bourbon barrels for three years, before being transferred to brand new American oak casks for another year, a double maturation that gives it more body than the house's younger VO.

  Expert Description

  Rhum JM VSOP is a Martinique Rhum Agricole aged four years in ex-bourbon and new oak casks, bottled at 43%.

  The rum comes from the Fonds-Préville distillery in Macouba, Martinique's smallest "rhumerie", which sits at the foot of the volcano Mount Pelée. After distillation the rum rests briefly in steel tanks before being aged three years in used bourbon barrels and then around a year more in brand new American oak casks, a combination that gives VSOP a markedly deeper and more complex profile than the house's younger VO.

  The new oak casks impart a clear wood sweetness and spice that complement the green, herbal character of the fresh cane juice without overpowering it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Nutty richness with cinnamon and clove, carried by bright cane and grass, complemented by ripe banana and mango.

  Palate

  Spiced butter and lemony caramel, oily and sweet with toasted oak, brown sugar and rich caramel.

  Finish

  Smooth and light, with a lingering hint of chocolate and a dry finish of hay and black tea.

  Saint James 12 years old Agricole Martinique Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865379-10196

  Twelve years in tropical heat does something entirely different to a cask than twelve years in a Scottish warehouse.

  Expert description

  Saint James 12 Year Agricole is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, matured for at least 12 years in oak casks and bottled at 43%.

  The long ageing in Martinique's tropical climate gives the rum a deep mahogany colour and a pronounced wood character, where notes of undergrowth and toasting gradually give way to softer cinnamon and prune notes. Because evaporation, the so-called "angels' share", happens far faster in the tropics than in temperate climates, a 12 year old Martinique rum achieves a cask influence that would take significantly longer in a colder climate.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dominant woody tones with dried prunes, dried fruit and nutmeg, complemented by vanilla and toasted oak.

  Palate

  Sweet vanilla and prunes followed by toasted almonds and walnuts, in a juicy, not-too-sweet parade of dried fruit, raisins, grapes, guava and ripe apples.

  Finish

  Full-bodied with melted, complex tannins and a closing roasted note.

  Saint James 15 years Agricole Martinique Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865379-10197

  Fifteen years in a cask can turn a rum into something close to a meditation object – this is Saint James' answer to exactly that.

  Expert description

  Saint James 15 Year Agricole is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, matured for at least 15 years in heavily toasted oak casks and bottled at 43%.

  Fifteen years is the longest standard maturation in Saint James' age range, and the heavy toasting of the casks gives the rum a depth and complexity that puts it on par with the house's most ambitious releases. Where the 7 and 12 year expressions still carry a certain fruit-driven lightness, the 15 year is darker and more introspective in style.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Intense with woody and toasted tones, precious wood, spice, tobacco and cooked fruit, complemented by a hint of menthol.

  Palate

  Elegant complexity with a mocha-tinged finish, where old cask dominates while fruit and menthol restore the balance.

  Finish

  Very long and persistent with a high degree of refinement.

  Saint James 7 Year Agricole is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, matured for at least 7 years in oak casks and bottled at 43%.

  The rum is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice at the Saint James distillery in Sainte-Marie and then aged for seven years, giving it an unusual Cognac-like character rather than the greener, grassier expression many younger agricole rums show. The cask ageing adds dried fruit and a light "rancio" note more commonly associated with old grape brandies than rum.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fruity with pineapple, melon and red apple, complemented by peaches in syrup, light anise, yoghurt, coffee grounds, honey and vanilla, with a hint of cinnamon.

  Palate

  Vanilla, allspice, ginger and lemon alternate, backed by dried fruit notes and cane sugar reminiscent of Martinique's AOC style.

  Finish

  Balanced and light, with a Cognac-like softness that lingers.

  Several reviewers have described Saint James 7 Year as behaving more like a Cognac than a traditional Caribbean rum, precisely because of the pronounced dried fruit and rancio character from the cask ageing.

  Saint James Straw Pale Agricole Martinique Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865379-10192

  Straw yellow, light and carrying the freshness found only in rum pressed from pure cane juice – Saint James has made it this way since 1765.

  Expert description

  Saint James Straw Pale Agricole is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, briefly matured in oak casks and bottled at 40%.

  Straw Pale ("Paille" in French) is named after the straw-yellow colour the rum takes on after around two months in oak casks – short enough to preserve the sugarcane's fresh, grassy character, but long enough to add a hint of vanilla and spice. The Saint James distillery in Sainte-Marie is one of the oldest rhum agricole producers on Martinique and has kept its original name unbroken since its founding.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Round, refined and delicate with well-developed notes of dried fruit, honey and liquorice, combined with vanilla and a light touch of wood.

  Palate

  Well balanced with woody tones and a pleasant, lingering aroma, where apple and honey continue from the nose alongside a fresh, grassy agricole character.

  Finish

  Light and short with a fresh, grassy impression.
