This is an exceptional Rhum from Saint James. It’s a blend of the vintages of 1998, 2000 and 2003 all of them aged for over 12 years in small bourbon casks. I can really recommend it, even though the average price is a little high at around €180.

I also sampled this rum at the Rum Regatta in Flensburg and a bottle ended up in my shopping bag. I really like the rums from Saint James, so I wasn't surprised by the quality of this one. The nose is fruity and woody with spices, chocolate and light coffee. The palate is well balanced and complex with wood, lots of fruits, spices and chocolate. I can't decide if its warm or peppery. The finish is medium long with roasted wood, spices and dried fruit. Try to leave the empty glass for a few hours and then whif it. F

Typischer Agricole Rum, am Gaumen und Nachklang mehr auf der holzigen Seite.

Sehr nussiger Agricole mit ausgewogenen Holznoten. Ein interessanter Blend aus 3x 12YO ex-Bourbon Vintages.

Gut, aber für meinen Geschmack etwas dünn.

excellent nosing and tasting. a beautiful mix of dried fruits and wood. still, it's a bit overpriced compared to the St. James 15 which is half the price and also very good.
