St. James Hors d'Age is much richer than Clement VSOP. The time in the cask has tamed the vegetal character so that it plays nice with all of the other flavors you would expect in an aged dark rum.

And yes, I think That Appleton Extra and St. James Royal Ambre combo is probably a good approach for approximating the combination of aged refinement and residual agricole assertiveness in something like Hors d'Age.
