Saint James 10 Years Old Extra Vieux Agricole Rhum, Martinique AOC, Limited Edition 2025, 42% vol., 0.7 l online kaufen

The Saint James 10 ANS D'ÂGE Extra Vieux Rhum Agricole Martinique AOC Série Limitée 2025 42% embodies the particularly mature side of Martinique’s time-honoured Rhum Agricole tradition. It is produced by Saint James in Sainte-Marie, Martinique, from fresh sugarcane juice and thus adheres to the classic style of a Rhum Agricole Martinique AOC. This limited edition is based on the 2015 vintage, which was put into casks on 1 July 2015 and matured in the distillery’s cellars until 5 September 2025. American oak 200-litre casks and French oak 350-litre casks were used. The long ageing under tropical conditions in Sainte-Marie intensifies the interaction between the distillate and the wood, lending the rum additional depth, maturity and structure.

After more than ten years of cask maturation, the Saint James 10 Years Old Extra Vieux Rhum Agricole, at 42% ABV, is powerful yet balanced and elegant. The combination of American and French oak introduces different woody, vanilla and spicy notes, whilst the characteristic sugar cane style remains clearly recognisable. It is precisely the interplay between the 2015 vintage, tropical ageing in Martinique and two different cask sizes that makes this Série Limitée 2025 particularly interesting. The 0.7-litre bottle is aimed at connoisseurs of matured Rhum Agricole from Martinique who value precise provenance, long tropical ageing and a clearly defined cask character. The smooth, exceptionally long finish underscores the mature style of this limited-edition Saint-James bottling.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep golden amber with warm coppery highlights.

Nose: Mature and inviting, with subtle woody notes, vanilla and an elegant, warm spiciness.

Palate: Full-bodied and well-balanced with matured sugar cane character, vanilla, subtle oak and harmonious spicy notes.

Finish: Exceptionally long-lasting, smooth and warm with vanilla, wood and gentle spice.

The Saint James 10 ANS D’ÂGE Extra Vieux reveals its long tropical maturity best when enjoyed neat at around 18 to 20 °C in a nosing or rum glass. It is particularly delightful with mature hard cheese, duck breast, braised beef or roasted walnuts, as these flavours elegantly complement the warm oak and vanilla notes. For dessert, crème brûlée, dark chocolate, caramelised pineapple or vanilla pastries harmonise superbly with the rum’s matured cask character. As a digestif, the Rhum Agricole Extra Vieux showcases its smooth, lingering finish and the distinct influences of American and French oak particularly impressively.
