The Saint James XO Quintessence Vieux Agricole Martinique is a premium rum from the renowned Saint James distillery in Martinique, aged for a minimum of 6 years in small casks. This exquisite rum is a blend of the finest and most elegant vintage selections, resulting in a harmonious combination of fruity and spicy notes.
The nose is greeted with an alluring aroma of cherry, stone brandy, old wood, and a touch of powdery coffee, evolving into a delicate vegetal and resinous profile. The rancio character, akin to aged wine, emerges with nuances of oxidized apple, red fruit, and prune, complemented by fresh cinnamon and nutmeg.
Upon tasting, the palate reveals a smooth and balanced composition, with a complex interplay of fruit in brandy, pine thorns, and spicy notes reminiscent of a cigar box. The rum's depth unfolds with layers of licorice, light banana, apricot, date, orange, and melting milk chocolate, culminating in a delightful finish.
Housed in a majestic decanter, the Saint James XO Quintessence Vieux Agricole Martinique is a true testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence.
