The Saint James 2001 Les Ephemeres Brut de Fut #1 is a remarkable and robust rum, featuring a medley of concentrated spices that envelop the entire palate. This is a bold, unapologetic rum that releases intense flavors of confited cane interwoven with wood. The aromatic depth is exceptional, offering a profile reminiscent of raw cane sugar enriched with molasses, fused and concentrated tannins, and dried fruits aged over time.
Distilled in a creole column and aged in 190-liter American oak barrels starting in November 2001, this AOC Martinique rum matured for 19 years in the tropical climate of Sainte-Marie's cellars. Upon aeration, aromas of cigar box and spices with exotic pepper emerge, capturing attention with their intensity. This serious and rich profile is a testament to the high standards of AOC Martinique rums.
On the palate, the Saint James 2001 Les Ephemeres Brut de Fut #1 presents precise peppery notes, dried apricot, and guava that linger for long minutes. The boisé is both aromatic and delicate, indicating the rum's origin from Sainte-Marie. The tannins are well-integrated, slightly green and resinous but predominantly fresh and fruity, harmonizing beautifully with the cane juice.
