How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise its value and smooth balance. The nose brings prunes, vanilla and spice; the palate is woody and toasted with pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg, rounded by ripe fruit and juicy cane. Often sipped neat after a short rest. A few mention a short finish and light body, yet it remains a well-regarded Saint James choice with 83 community reviews.

8,1:On the nose, well, a juicy, tangy maracuja. The spices are peppery, there are pink berries and coriander seeds, a burnt edge, quince paste, and acidic fruitiness. The sugar cane is juicy and vibrant. Aeration brings out plum with dark berries as blueberry and blackcurrant. Some tannins also come through, then we go towards to a more vanilla-like woodiness. After a nice rest, brandy and prunes could be noticed... Complex and quite balanced. 8,4:On the palate it is soft, tempting. There is honey and prune, juicy and mineral sugarcane. The sensation is mellow and a bit tannic. There are some spices as pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon, lime peel joins in the end, rounding up the palate. 8,4:The finish is tasty, with dried fruits, wood, lime peel, juicy cane, pepper..
Une belle structure un rhum élégant . Malheureusement trop léger pour moi...
Tested it together with the 15yo, and I think this is the better one because it’s smoother and more balanced. The nose is woody, fruity and vegetal. At the palate it’s fruity, round and balanced with flavors of oak, grass and vanilla.
Round and smooth agricole with lots of caramel sweetness. A mixture of fruit, wood, chocolate and peppery spice. Floral notes are more in the background. Very pleasant with delicious aromas despite its spiciness.
