How does this rum taste?
- zitrisch-frisch Aromen
- Tolle Nase
- schön rund
RumX members call out a bouquet that blends fresh citrus and floral notes with a pronounced woodiness—“pretty woody this one,” says @Rowald Sweet Empire, yet balanced by menthol and red fruit. The 2006 vintage divides: some find “tolle Nase” and “frische in Form von Zitrusfrüchten” (@Joachim Guger), while others, like @Jarek, prefer more complexity, noting the wood can dominate. Subtle vanilla and a dry, slightly animalic undertone round out a profile described as “schön rund” by @Johannes. Even those lukewarm on the style agree the absence of soapy notes is a win.

"Slightly better than the standard 15 year release. Better balance but I'd like a higher ABV 😊 Waiting for the rest if the samples to arrive so I can score them as well (7 samples were broken when they arrived, postal services in Denmark is not always good) ."
"Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet."
"Tasted at a private tasting. Pretty woody this one. French oak/Armagnac/cognac with that typical acidity. Red fruits. Cherry. Oak is very present in the nose. Some velpon too. Taste. Delicious. Wood and flowers. Very balanced. Menthol too. This might be one of my favourites of the Velier vintages. A bit of everything that makes Saint James great. Lovely."
"In der Nase neben Holz, Gewürzen und Süsse von Vanille und Nougat eine ansprechende florale Note, die an zitrisch-blumiges Parfum erinnert. Am Gaumen erneut recht zitrisch-frisch Aromen gepaart mit rauchigen und floralen Noten. Das Profil selbst holt mich nicht restlos ab, findet aber sicher seine Freunde."
