Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another old tasting with the following notes. Love the colour and vibrant nose. Agricole and freshness and it draws nice curtains.
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this extraordinary rum at Rhum Fest Paris 2026 in the VIP area. It’s said to be Saint James greatest vintage together with the 1976. So expectations were high, maybe too high, cause I didn’t found it so exceptional as expected. It’s aged for 8 years in bourbon barrels. The nose is fruity, woody, roasted and spicy just as at the palate with scents and flavors of dark fruit, nutmeg, cocoa, mocha and leather. The finish is rather long.
Review by TheJackDrop
A real little banana candy! That's what hits me on the nose. On the palate it's perfectly oily, full-bodied, deep, even if the finish leans more towards the nut and typical rancio of these old juices. A deep and intense moment despite the low ABV. Excellent 👌 thanks Greg!
Review by Émile Shevek
The color is dark and vivid. The nose is very intense and enveloping, with very floral and mothballed notes of wood and leather as well as butter and red fruits. The palate retains the same aromas in a light and fluffy setting with added chocolate and a little pepper. Overall it is very full-bodied, syrupy and round, but less floral than the 1976
