Al naso è dolce e carbonizzato con legno e noccioline. Al palato è denso e pepato con legno carbonizzato, noccioline, caramello, vegetali e una fine nota aspra sul medio finale

7.7/10

Je retrouve chez ce Héritier Madkaud ce qui caractérise les rhums de la marque St James. Le nez et la bouche sont dominés par le bois , le grillé et poivré. La bouche est sèche, le côté floral me fait penser au lys(fort et épicé). La finale est longue boisée sèche.

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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
