How does this rum taste?
The Saint James 2001 rum, distilled in Martinique, presents a refined profile with a balance between its 10-year barrel aging and the natural flavors of sugarcane juice. Users note the dominant aromas of vanilla and wood, with hints of tropical fruit and leather. On the palate, it offers a woody and vanilla depth, complemented by sugarcane, cinnamon, and a dry finish. While praised for its complexity and refined characteristics, some find the wood influence slightly overwhelming. This agricole rum is an accessible introduction to aged varieties from the Saint James distillery, suited for those seeking a harmonious blend of traditional agricole elements and maturation-related notes.

I really like the smell with its mixture of tart fruit and spicy oak. In the mouth, unfortunately, I have to fight my way through too much wood and acidity for my taste to get back to the appealing fruit flavors and spices. However, I've had it in my glass several times now and each time I've tasted it a little better, which is why I can well imagine that it will become even more appealing as the level in the bottle decreases.
A pretty OK Saint James where the price matches what you get. Fresh and fruity with nice spices and roasted wood. I like the caramel note in the profile and the empty glass has some chocolate and cinnamon.
Torréfié, boisé, épicé, on suce un peu trop la planche à mon goût et on perd la vanille et les fruits je trouve. Petite cannelle et café au nez qui sont cela dit sympathique. Par contre avec un dessert sucré comme un cannelé ça le fait. C’est un peu triché du coup :)
Un Saint James au nez assez fin et délicat, tiré sur les fruits secs et tropicaux et surtout sur le bois, typique de la distillerie. Ce dernier l’emporte davantage en bouche mais sans être désagréable, avec quelques notes épicées et de canne à sucre en arrière-plan. La finale, assez courte, se concentre encore une fois sur le bois, accompagné cette fois d’une pointe de chocolat et de cannelle. Peut-être pas le rhum le plus incroyable qui soit, mais une belle découverte de l’univers Saint James.
