"Une bouteille aussi esthĂ©tique peut, dans certaines circonstances, faire office de cache-misĂšre pour le jus quâelle contient, et malheureusement cette cuvĂ©e tombe dans ce cas prĂ©cis. LâADN de Saint James est ici transparent et fait pĂąle figure. mĂȘme parmi la gamme permanente. Le nez est ce qui se rapproche le plus de lâesprit sombre typique de la distillerie avec des notes de chĂȘne, de cafĂ©, de vanille et de piment. Les abricots secs et les notes florales finalisent un profil doux, simple et assez rĂ©servĂ©. Lâattaque en bouche est mince et lĂ©gĂšre. Quelques notes vĂ©gĂ©tales et herbacĂ©es apportent de lâamertume, tandis que les raisins secs, les Ă©pices et le bois se confrontent au palais. Il nây a pas grand chose Ă dire dessus, si ce nâest que câest assez plat et plutĂŽt dĂ©cevant. La finale nâest pas trĂšs longue, elle rappelle les notes florales, les herbes, les fruits secs, la canne Ă sucre, les Ă©pices, les notes rĂŽties et le caramel mais elle ne brille pas plus que cela. Un rhum qui se veut joli dâapparence, mais qui nâa pas grand chose dans le fond hĂ©las."
