I'm not going to dismiss it out of hand just because it's not an agricole from Saint James. Over the past year (since Denizen Merchant's Reserve came on the scene and more research was produced about the 1944 Trader Vic's Mai Tai and approximating the original J Wray 17 with a blend of Jamaican and Martinique rum) I've been interested in exploring more of the "industrial" rum side of Martinique and this could be another interesting data point. Yes I lament that Saint James has elected to not continue to sell their agricole in the US* (for now anyway) - they were the first argricole rhum I really bonded with. But who knows, on its own merit this couple be an interesting rum. Don't judge it for what it's not, but try it for what it is. And then if it kinda sucks it'll suck on its own merit. :) I'm going to be looking for some right after vacation. kevin
