    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members talk most about the fresh, woody Martinique agricole profile here. This Velier-selected Saint James (2015, 6 years, 47%) brings vanilla, caramel and herbs on the nose, then grassy citrus, pepper and oak with a floral, lavender-like touch. Some notice a perfume/soapy note, while others enjoy that lift. Popular on RumX with 72 reviews, a solid pick neat or in cocktails.

    Tasted at a private tasting for a good cause. This was the last of the 10 Velier vintages. All very different and good. This was obviously the youngest. More young wood/virgin/US oaky than the others. Some of us really loved this one in contrast to the older ones. This was not the best but still a very good agricole rhum. Pretty woody but still fresh. Pretty floral/lavenderish. A bit "soapy" at times.

    Beautiful, young, classic Saint James.

    Very nice young Rhum. Really like this vintage, more than 2014

    Großes VSGB-Vertical-live-Tasting von und mit Luca Gargano. 22.10.2022, 16:18. Nase: holzig-würzig mit leicht saurer Johannisbeere, etwas Zitrone und ein wenig Essig, dann aber viel weißes Nougat und Toffee mit Vanille, leicht rauchig und hinten ein Hauch Seife. Angenehm. Gaumen: deutlich weniger Holzsäure als sein 20 Jahre alter Bruder. Fast weich aber auch recht dünn. Holzig zu Beginn, dann wird er aber schnell ziemlich seifig. Es kommt etwas Veilchen-Lakritz durch bevor er kräuterig, wurzelig und grasig wird. Grasiges Zuckerrohr, Veilchen und Fenchel im Abgang. Weniger Säure gefällt mir, mehr Seife nicht. Auch etwas zu dünn. Platz: N: 8/10 G: 7/10
