I found this on a web site:
Rhum Saint James Royal Ambre – This, the youngest in the Rhum Saint James line, the winner of the 1995 Gold Medal in the World Spirit Championships, and rated “Best Buy” in the July, 1995 and December, 1996 issues of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Another spirit critic describes this as “the nearest thing to cognac”. Rhum Saint James Royal Ambre is at its most impressive when served, straight up, in a snifter. This enables the drinker to discover its complexity and aromatics. As for mixing, this is the rum to use when making the famous Punch Martinique, a blend of rum with a dash of sugar and lime juice.
Rhum Saint James Extra Old. This grade, which is a blend of the cellar master’s older rums, is an excellent introduction to the complexity and aromatics of aged rums. Rated "Very Good" by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, April, 2001 and Spirit Journal, 1999.
Rhum Saint James Hors d’Age – “If this is not the best rum you have ever tasted, I’ll drink yours!” said one critic. This dark rum, comprised of selected, exceptionally old, aged rums, is the culmination of the master blender’s art at Plantations Saint James. Spirit Journal, rates Hors d’Age as a strong buy – 4 Stars – followed by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, superb (90-95 rating), “Best Buy”, April, 2001.
I think they don't have actual age in years on the label because they are blends of different ages.
I use Hors D'Age in my Mai Tais as well. It's the best of the three!
