Saint James Single Cask 2001
Sip this neat and it drinks like a darker, drier agricole: pineapple and dried fruit up front, then oak, spice and roasted nuts taking over. The palate turns quite spicy — licorice and anise that one taster compared to a Demerara — over a rounded but dry body. Aged 15 years from Martinique cane juice, it's a controlled, woody Saint James rather than a fruit bomb.

Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 9. Un nez très agricole avec du végétal, très fruité aussi avec une belle sucrosité (canne à sucre) et un beau boisé/ vanillé. La bouche est très St James avec du boisé assez sombre, des fruits secs et des fruits jaunes et un léger végétal. Ls finale est moyennement longue et on y sent bien le côté boisé et pimenté.

Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 9. Either I'm missing my senses today, or it's bland and watery.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A tasty, masterful Single Cask. On the nose, tropical fruits (pineapple) and dried fruits lead the way, before sugarcane, oak, spices, nuts and caramel take over with a smooth transition. An elegant, well-balanced rum on the nose. The attack on the palate is livelier and more intense. The spices are much more exuberant (licorice and aniseed in particular, reminiscent of some Demerara) and the empyreumatic notes (coffee, roasted nuts, toasted notes) are much more pronounced. They lend a certain greediness to this very round, dry profile. Dried and exotic fruits are less present, but know how to tantalize the taste buds. It's not the most overwhelming rum, but it shows remarkable mastery. The long, dry, dark finish prolongs the pleasure with spices, coffee, wood and leather, accompanied by dried fruit and tannins. Subtle, complex and refined, this cuvée is too often overlooked, yet it has the merit of representing what Saint James does best.
