Saint James 2001

Sip this one neat and the oak does most of the talking — roasted wood, cinnamon and a caramel-chocolate edge, with tropical fruit and sugarcane hanging back. A soft, easy-drinking aged agricole from Saint James, though a few tasters feel the barrel takes over and buries the fruit and vanilla. One member found it played nicely alongside a sweet dessert.

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Soft, wood-forward aged agricole Most see a soft, typical Saint James — woody and spiced with dried-fruit and caramel notes. The catch: several find the oak dominates and swallows the fruit, with a short finish.

I really like the smell with its mixture of tart fruit and spicy oak. In the mouth, unfortunately, I have to fight my way through too much wood and acidity for my taste to get back to the appealing fruit flavors and spices. However, I've had it in my glass several times now and each time I've tasted it a little better, which is why I can well imagine that it will become even more appealing as the level in the bottle decreases.

A Saint James with a rather fine and delicate nose, leaning on dried and tropical fruits and especially on the wood, typical of the distillery. The latter dominates more on the palate but without being unpleasant, with some spicy notes and sugarcane in the background. The finish, quite short, focuses once again on the wood, accompanied this time by a hint of chocolate and cinnamon. Maybe not the most incredible rum, but a nice discovery of the Saint James universe.

Saint James 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 250 Rums

Saint-James traces its origins back to 1765 and is one of the oldest names in bottled rum: the brand was registered in 1882, together with the square bottle it still sells. Today it holds Martinique's largest export quota, 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.
