Saint James Royal Ambre Rum

Rust-orange color. Smoked sugar cane, orange sugar, and Amaretto aromas. Actually, it smells like a freshly prepared bourbon Old Fashioned. Measured opening on the palate--then broadens into a light to medium body with date, light sugar cane, and soft floral notes along with a silky texture. Then the heat and acidity kick in nicely with mineral notes. The finish continues for about a minute or so. A very pleasant agricole rum, with mild cane flavors. Tasted 8/17/2008.
