8.1/10

Tasted this elegant and round single cask from Saint James at the Sweden (Stockholm) Rumfest 2024. After distillation in 1999 it’s bottled 16 1/2 years later in 2016. The nose is woody, roasted, fruity and spicy with aromas of chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon and prune. At the palate it’s very elegant and the aromas comes back as flavors together with hints of mocha. The finish is round and long fading away gently.

8.5/10

Totally the opposite of the ephemeral ones, a real surprise for me. It's much rounder, way less like eau de vie and woody! Here we have chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, a slight rancio that doesn't turn into walnut juice either. The licorice is there too, a marker of a mature Saint James. Only the somewhat average length on the palate keeps me from giving it more than an 8.5.

Saint James 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 250 Rums

Saint-James is Martinique's biggest distillery and one of the oldest names in bottled rum, founded in 1765 and still selling a square bottle it trademarked in 1882. It holds the largest stock of aged rhum in the French Antilles, runs what may be the world's best distillation museum, and its old vintages and J. Bally bottlings are among the most loved Martinique rums on RumX.
