This 2012 Saint James x Velier rum is a divisive pour among RumX tasters. Woody and floral notes immediately stand out, bordering on 'parfümierte Seife' as Joachim Guger puts it, with several pinpointing a soapiness that veers into the medicinal. Some find floral, herbal, and roasted aromas, while a handful appreciate background grass and nuanced fruitiness—'nez: fruit blanc fermenté, très cirage', shares Adrien B. Opinions split on mouthfeel and overall profile, with Rowald Sweet Empire calling it a high point and others like Jarek mentioning it as 'einer von den ganz seifigen Vertretern'.

"Here, too, the DNA is recognizable in the nose, wood, herbs, roasted aromas - in addition, a floral-perfumed note comes to the fore, which fades slightly into soapy. On the palate, light citrus fruits, wood, roasted aromas, herbs and hay; however, a disturbing medicinal-waxy off-note comes to the fore that irritates me. Unfortunately, this off-note also remains present in the finish, which is why I cannot give it a better rating."
"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."
"Unusual perfumed soap associations on the palate. Not my cup of tea."
"Much better than the previous two but a bit out of balance in my mind."
