For experienced palates, this cask strength Saint James agricole rewards attention with intense tropical and dried fruits, light glue/solvent notes and controlled oak. Mostly enjoyed neat after some air. Highly praised by RumX regulars.

This was the winner of my small Saint James tasting!😎 Delicious nose with a hint of glue mixed with various fruits in an oaky barrel🤤🤤 This wonderfull adventure continues in mouth😏 I found a really light note of bicycle tube, I guess. Fantastic 😜😎 The finish on this one is really fruity and oaky without being bitter or astringend! The barrel and ABV is integrated very well. Conclusion of my tasting: 2006<<<2005<2001 (Roberto style 😜)

Wow unglaublich lecker. Total komplex und für einfach ein richtig richtig gute Mischung aus Frucht und Fass. Die Nase hat mich sofort abgeholt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an jeden der hiervon eine Flasche hat.

Al naso è esplosivo con smalto, frutti rossi e altri tropicali(banana, papaya), frutti secchi(albicocche, fichi, datteri), spezie, fiori, legno, tostatura,cioccolato, un po' di pelle e con un finale dolce, particolarmente ottimo e complesso. Al palato si ripresenta il legno e le spezie(pepe soprattutto), la pelle e la tostatura seguite da un tocco floreale e agrumato, dal tabacco e i frutti rossi+mela con uno sfondo dolce e sapido. Nel retrogusto resta secco, fruttato, legnoso e dopo alcuni minuti terroso. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e arrostito. Grazie a Dr.Django Oscilla tra 8.9.e 9.

A truly excellent agricole! Very fruity and discreetly woody for a 20-year-old. A great success!

Un nez très fruité sur l exotisme, il donne très très envie de le goûter ! En bouche au début, de suite un goût de fût légèrement brûlé et prune.le tout est intense et percutant. Je conseil de le laisser s aérer un peu. Bon en résumé, c est une belle sélection et une vrai belle réussite !

Toller St. James, von den 4 verkosteten Rums der Interessanteste. Intensität ist auf den Punkt, dazu ein schönes, nuanciertes Profil mit nicht zu viel Holz. Klasse!
