It smells more like wine or raisins. Grassy or herbal notes are in the background. After a while, I can even sense a herbal liqueur. The taste is initially more like wine and dried fruit again. In the fairly long finish, raisins, wine, a bit of earthiness, and herbs/plants. A nice trip down memory lane.

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.
