Grassy agricole notes, slightly reminiscent of grappa, some young wood, spices, hazelnuts with chocolate, minimal fruity notes of grape and mirabelle plum, extremely dry. The alcohol is quite well integrated, but this is not exactly a revelation in terms of complexity.
Doesn't quite come close to the 2001 Saint James, but still has a really exciting spectrum of aromas on offer - compared to its big brother, however, the dark fruits lack a little power.
Un rhum décomplexé, très bien fait et ce qu'il faut en gourmandise, delicious👌
Un joli rhum, proposition intéressante assez sombre, un beau vieillissement, brut de fût à l’alcool bien enrobé. Une jolie bouteille visionnaire: en 2008 les brut de fût SAINT JAMES n’étaient pas si courantes.
