Saint James Rhum Blanc Agricole Martinique Rum (700ml)
A fresh and tangy entry-level agricole from Martinique, bottled at an accessible 40% ABV for the bartender's circuit. Good to start your adventure into the agricole category or use it to make delicious Mojitos and Mai Tais.
Other reviews... I’ve tried quite a few of these whites from the company, and the thing is, what impresses about the Imperial is its cost benefit ratio — it tastes well and noses even better for the first and cheapest rhum in that lineup. The profile is reasonably good, isn’t strong enough to offend or frighten, and provides most of what is required of a low-level intro to unaged agricoles. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it makes a great Ti’ punch – you need to go to 50º for that to happen, and Clement and Damoiseau provide stiff competition as well – but its very good at providing a flavourful jolt to whatever you feel like adding it to, even at standard strength. So while I wouldn’t say it’s a key rum of any kind, it certainly is tailor made for bars, and for anyone of lean purse who wants to start working on his knowledge of the blanc side. - thelonecaner.com
