How does this rum taste?
Most love the dark, woody-coffee profile and elegant, well-balanced nose. Critics miss extra power and complexity versus the 1998. Emerging view: very good, characterful but not a showstopper.
If you like mature, drier agricoles and want the darker side of Saint James without cask-strength aggression, this vintage hits that spot, though it’s more about elegance than fireworks.
Beginners seeking sweet, soft rum, high-ABV hunters wanting big intensity, or drinkers sensitive to dry tannic oak and herbal cane notes.

Tasted on the Whisky and Rum festival 2022. IJmuiden. www.zeewijck.nl Zeewijcks boss' Richard poured this to me. Lovely aged rum. Really good.
Per me una delle migliori espressioni della serie Saint James 25th AOC Anniversary series. Un rum agricolo di carattere, piacevole al palato e con un naso veramente interessante. Prima o poi acquisterò la bottiglia da 0,70
Beautiful nose. Wood, coffee, lots of caramel and then dried fruit. Balanced, not complex.In the mouth it continues right away. Crisp and warm. Some sweetness and very drinkable.Nothing extraordinary, but a very good rum. Certainly goes well with a cigar.
Rund, keine Fehlnoten, es fehlt aber etwas Komplexität.
