How does this rum taste?
Reviewers especially appreciate the balanced character and classic agricole notes of XO Quintessence, with flavors leaning towards wood, herbs, and a touch of vanilla emerging after some time in the glass. The mouthfeel is described as mild and creamy, transitioning into a vegetal, slightly bitter finish. Many enjoy it as a relaxed sipper, particularly for those already fond of Saint James. Worth considering if you value moderate complexity and subtle earthy undertones.

Une bouteille aussi esthétique peut, dans certaines circonstances, faire office de cache-misère pour le jus qu’elle contient, et malheureusement cette cuvée tombe dans ce cas précis. L’ADN de Saint James est ici transparent et fait pâle figure. même parmi la gamme permanente. Le nez est ce qui se rapproche le plus de l’esprit sombre typique de la distillerie avec des notes de chêne, de café, de vanille et de piment. Les abricots secs et les notes florales finalisent un profil doux, simple et assez réservé. L’attaque en bouche est mince et légère. Quelques notes végétales et herbacées apportent de l’amertume, tandis que les raisins secs, les épices et le bois se confrontent au palais. Il n’y a pas grand chose à dire dessus, si ce n’est que c’est assez plat et plutôt décevant. La finale n’est pas très longue, elle rappelle les notes florales, les herbes, les fruits secs, la canne à sucre, les épices, les notes rôties et le caramel mais elle ne brille pas plus que cela. Un rhum qui se veut joli d’apparence, mais qui n’a pas grand chose dans le fond hélas.
