Velier Saint James Elliott Erwitt (Magnum) 2006
Sip this one neat — it's a wood-forward agricole that doesn't need more proof. Cherry and honey lead the nose, then caramel, licorice and oak fill the palate, with a pleasant touch of bitterness on the finish. Several tasters note it leans dry and woody over fruity. The 45% sits remarkably well; a few wished for a little more power and fruit.
- Well-integrated 45%
- Light coffee note
- Rounded and balanced

Review by Oliver
Excellent Saint James. Already discovered at the Whisky Live Paris.
Review by Christoph
Very tasty Saint James that does not need more ABV. Powerful on the nose with cherry and honey. Caramel, licorice and wood on the palate. A bit of bitterness (very pleasant) in the finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A pretty good Saint James. The typical notes are there and I really like the light coffee note in the profile. ABV is pretty well integrated but could have been better. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass reveals even more notes like nutts and light ginger.
Review by Jakob
Great rum, which the drinking strength is very good to face. Very round and just as strong as varied in taste. Beats even in direct comparison with St. James bottlings with higher alcohol content excellent.
Review by Thunderbird
Mittlerweile bin ich ein Fan von den Saint James Agricoles. Und dieser reiht sich da mühelos ein. Die Nase ist süß/sauer fruchtig mit etwas Fass und Leder. Am Gaumen ein angenehm ledriges, holziges und würziges Aromenspiel. Die 45% stehen ihm außerordentlich gut und er muss sich gegen seine stärkeren Brüder nicht verstecken! Klasse Abfüllung
Review by Ayc
Un peu fermé au nez, sans doute trop réduit, très boisé, vernis élégant. Légère astringence sur la fin de bouche qui soutient le tout. Par contre c’est très aromatique pour pour 45%. Un peu trop peu de fruits pour avoir une bonne note.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Sehr leckerer leicht zu trinkener Rum, welcher aber trotzdem komplexe Aromen bietet. Mir hätte etwas mehr Power gut gefallen, wirkt vor allem hinten raus doch etwas dünn.
Review by Righrum
The less interesting of the four releases, even if I recognise it as a great rhum
