Un rhum décomplexé, très bien fait et ce qu'il faut en gourmandise, delicious👌
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 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.
Au nez poivré, fruité et légèrement chocolaté. En bouche très fruité, épicé et chaud. Alcool assez présent sur la fin. Finale longue, chaude et épicée.
