Compared to the 2002 this one is far lighter overall and it's my number two of these 10 releases. A light fruity profile with fruits ans some cinnamon and light wood. An elegant and well rounded old rum.

In the nose wonderful melting of nougat, vanilla and caramel, plus oak and cocoa and green notes of hay and citrus. An aromatically coherent profile on the palate as well, but lacking the final balance, as the alcohol is a bit too present for me given the reduced strength. Nevertheless, my favorite of the series.

Karamell, nussig, getrocknete Früchte. Ein sehr schöne, runde Nase. Sehr gut ausbalanciert. Tolles Mundgefühl. Nun holzig und prickelnde Zitrusfrüchte. Süffig. Langer Abgang. Der Prototyp eines reifen Saint James und einer der Besseren der Serie. Fazit: Die jüngeren Vintages der Velier Serie taugen nicht viel. Die seifigen Noten, welche ich ansonst von keinem Saint James kenne, kippen das Profil. Die älteren Jahrgänge sind dann sehr gut, aber diese Qualität ist bei Agricoles mittlerweile Standard. Sehr gut ist die Trinkstärke gewählt. Ein großer Wurf ist diese Serie am Ende nicht, sie wird in den Regalen von Sammlern und Investoren verschwinden.

Eher holzig, aber rund, komplex, keine Fehlnoten, langer Abgang.

Großes VSGB-Vertcal-live-Tasting von und mit Luca Gargano. 22.10.2022, 17:11. 75% Angel Share! Keine 1998 Fässer mehr vorhanden! Nase: elegant, Körpervoll und aromatisch. Würzig, holzig, fruchtig, süß. Alte Blutorange und leichte Säure von Johannisbeere über Karamell und Toffee. Dazu duftendes Holz und süße, weiche dänische Lakritz. Hinten raus eine leichte seifige Note. Sehr lecker und angenehm. Gaumen: kurz holzig bitter, dann linear ansteigende Säure, Holzsäure, die sich mit Zitrone abflacht und in harziges Holz mit Zuckerrohr und Heu übergeht. Wirkt hinten raus etwas verdünnt. Für nur 47% ausreichend intensiv. Angenehm holzig, leicht zu sauer. Platz: N: 4/10 G: 6/10

Complex, creamy and not too much wood influence. Perfect alcohol strength. The highlight of the series for me.
