    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this 19-year Saint James 2001 for its explosive, fruity nose and nuanced oak. Expect tropical fruit and banana aromas with caramelized barrel and a touch of tobacco; the palate follows with plum, cherry and polished wood. At 57.6% cask strength, it's complex and long, though some note alcohol heat or a woody edge. A limited V&B selection (1060 bottles), well reviewed by 47 RumX members.

    This was the winner of my small Saint James tasting!😎 Delicious nose with a hint of glue mixed with various fruits in an oaky barrel🤤🤤 This wonderfull adventure continues in mouth😏 I found a really light note of bicycle tube, I guess. Fantastic 😜😎 The finish on this one is really fruity and oaky without being bitter or astringend! The barrel and ABV is integrated very well. Conclusion of my tasting: 2006<<<2005<2001 (Roberto style 😜)

    Wow unglaublich lecker. Total komplex und für einfach ein richtig richtig gute Mischung aus Frucht und Fass. Die Nase hat mich sofort abgeholt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an jeden der hiervon eine Flasche hat.

    Al naso è esplosivo con smalto, frutti rossi e altri tropicali(banana, papaya), frutti secchi(albicocche, fichi, datteri), spezie, fiori, legno, tostatura,cioccolato, un po' di pelle e con un finale dolce, particolarmente ottimo e complesso. Al palato si ripresenta il legno e le spezie(pepe soprattutto), la pelle e la tostatura seguite da un tocco floreale e agrumato, dal tabacco e i frutti rossi+mela con uno sfondo dolce e sapido. Nel retrogusto resta secco, fruttato, legnoso e dopo alcuni minuti terroso. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e arrostito. Grazie a Dr.Django Oscilla tra 8.9.e 9.

    A truly excellent agricole! Very fruity and discreetly woody for a 20-year-old. A great success!
