    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.

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

    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 😜)

    Leckerer Saint James Nase noch etwas zurückhaltend mit Frucht und milden Floralen noten. , Am Gaumen leichte Süße... Fruchtig und leicht Bitter alles schön ausgewogen und stimmig. Gefällt mir sehr gut ...

    Crosstasting mit dem 2003 Brut de Fut, einer meiner Favoriten von Saint James! Die Nase ist schon mal sehr überraschend … ich nehme anfangs sehr deutlich Klebstoffaromen, fast schon wie Uhu wahr. Das hatte ich überhaupt nichg erwartet. Nach einiger Zeit im Glas öffnet sich der SJ und erstaunlich viele Fruchtaromen von tropischen Früchten und Kirschen. Am Gaumen anfangs eine karamellisierte Süße und etwas Kokos. Relativ schnell entwickeln sich danach röstige Holznoten, etwas Veilchen, Pflaume und Kirsche in angenehmer Dichte, etwas störend ist jedoch der jederzeit präsente Alkohol. Der Abgang ist mittellang mit sehr ansprechender Frucht- und Holznote. Ein sehr guter komplexer Agricole, der jedoch an den 2003 Jahrgang nichg heranreicht, da dieser sehr viel reifer und gediegener ist
