8.4/10

A rum tasted at Rhum Fest in 2024. A beautiful nose with vegetal, floral and well-integrated old varnish wood. This not-quite-clear old wood dominates the first palate, but fortunately evolves towards vegetal freshness and a fairly long, well-balanced finish. I'm a little bothered by the not-so-clean old barrel aspect, which otherwise takes a few points off this very fine rum.

👃 = woody fragrances, esters, mild spices with a bit of nut, coffee and a herbal note. 👄 = a fruit compote (plum, apricot, mango) on a nice woody and peppery base, rather indulgent. With its esters and pastry side, the profile of the 18-year-old is not very consensual but I like it a lot 👍

8.1/10

Long maturation already very present on the finish. Intense, complex nose, initially full-bodied on the palate, but then increasingly astringent with a fairly dry finish. In my opinion, a little over its peak, but still very good, even considering the drinking strength.

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.
