8.6/10

I have some of the other single casks and they usually all perform pretty well. So does this one, I would have loved a slightly higher ABV because I think it would have lifted it into another dimension. The nose is fruity and woody with roasted coffee, chocolate, wood and cinnamon trailed by nice floral notes. The palate is also woody and fruity with spices, nuts and and coffee. The finish is long and woody with spices, fruit and coffee.

Nice nose but very average mouth, small finish. Nothing like the 1998.

Amazing nose. Great color. Unfortunately relatively watery and somewhat slightly bitter on the finish, otherwise it would have scored many more points.

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.
