Can someone tell me the difference between St. James Hors D'Age and St. James Extra Old? I have always bought Hors D'Age and am quite fond of it, but I haven't been able to find any info on Extra Old. Which is aged longer? Any other differences? If someone has both, can they describe the taste difference? Confusing the issue for me is that some stores sell Extra Old at a higher cost than Hors D'Age and some stores completely reverse that. |

I just picked up my four bottles of Hors D'Age today which I had to 'Special Order' from the local Crown Liquors. That is the ONLY Saint James they can get for me - the Extra Old isn't available. However, in every case in which I've checked on Saint James rums online, the Hors D'Age has always been more expensive. Because I'm such a 'Valued Customer' and usually buy 4 bottles at a time . . . they only charge me $30.99 a bottle for the Saint James (750ml) . . . and only $13.99 for the Appleton Estate VX (750ml) that I buy at the same time. And that's what goes in to my $100 Mai Tai! GH |

I found this on a web site:
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! |

Thanks Jab. That's just the thing I was looking for (but couldn't find). GH - The only place I've found Hors D'Age locally sells it for $36, which is high. Although he did tell me he could take off a few bucks. Online, I've always ordered it from Wine And Liquor Depot and their price is $21.59 for Hors D'Age, an excellent buy, but you have to factor in shipping which gets much cheaper per bottle when you order more. They sell Extra Old for $31.99, which is what confused me. I have a feeling they have their prices swapped, but ssshhhhhh.... I don't want to tell them! |

No more Hors d'Age? Dang, that's no bueno. Good thing I found a liquor store selling the stuff at $35 each. I'm stocking up. I'm a big fan of a couple of drinks that require Martinique agricole rum. Specifically, Donga Punch and Three Dots and a Dash. Extra Old works really well in the former, but not so much in the latter. However, I recently bought a bottle of Old New Orleans amber, which goes for $20-$27. It makes a fine substitute for Extra Old in the Donga Punch. |

When will the St. James stop being imported? I need to know so I can perhaps stock up now. |

About 6-9 months ago... Maybe... Get the old stock while you can. |

Heard that the importer gave up the product and no new importer has jumped in to fill the void. |
