Velier Saint James Alex Webb Edition 2010
Most enjoy the clean, classic Saint James agricole profile and oily texture. Critics find the finish a bit weak and the price high. Consensus: solid, characterful but not mind-blowing.
Agricole fans who enjoy vegetal, sugarcane-forward rums at moderate strength and want a relaxed yet characterful Saint James for early-evening sipping or tasting lineups.

Road Rummers S8 T4 Velier tasting I have bad experiences with Saint James so my expectations weren't high. This was the suprise for me. The most complex om the Alex Webb series. And although it has a low ABV, you can still enjoy it after some heavy Jamaicans. Dirt, lots of wood and agricole. Nice drinking strength. I guess this one comes down to personal taste?
21/02/25: Velier tasting @ TastToe. Very nice starter of the evening!Pleasantly surprised of both aroma and palate. Lots of fresh agricole notes I like. Too bad it doesn't have a bit higher ABV. Nice release.
Grundsolider Saint James im klassischen Gewand, dem aber im Abgang etwas die Luft ausgeht. Geschmacklich bewegt sich das Profil - wie für Saint James zu erwarten - zwischen pflanzlich-erdigen Aromen, Fassnoten, Haselnuss und Rohrzucker. Andere Releases zeigen noch etwas mehr Ausdrucksstärke, qualitativ ist der Rum aber trotzdem im gehobenen Qualitätsbereich angesiedelt. Gewinnt mit längerer Standzeit definitiv dazu.
#4849 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, light wood, light fruits, light floral, vegetal, light medicinal, light nutts, faint chocolate. Palate Oily, light, light wood, faint roasted, faint chocolate, light floral, light vegetal, herbal, fruits, light dried fruit. Finish Medium long, light wood, dried fruits, light vegetal, spice, light herbal, light nutts. This one was a big disappointment and there are many far cheaper Saint James out there that can compete with this release.
