Saint James Rum is celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2015 with this special commemorative bottling proudly adorned with the date 1765, when the plantations first produced rum. Saint James Cuvée 1765 is distilled from 100% fermented pure sugar cane juice.
Sampled on 18/10/2015
Clear, deep coppery amber.
Pungent, oak shavings, cinnamon and nutmeg with dried fruit, caramel and toffee apple.
Medium to full-bodied. Bitter cider apple, dried fruit, cut grass, woody tannins and spice (cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper) with figs, fruit cake, mocha coffee and cocoa.
Dry woody tannins and spice with pleasing underlying cider apple fruit and grassiness.
This agricole rum's long maturation has muted some of its fresh cane juice notes with elegant dry woody tannins and dried fruit dominating. Consequently it may appeal more to armagnac drinkers than those seeking a delicately sweet aged rum.
