The Saint James Rhum Millesime 2001 is a vintage rum from the renowned producer Saint James, distilled in Martinique using freshly pressed sugar cane juice. This exceptional 2001 harvest produced a remarkable rum known for its roundness, fruitiness, and silky smoothness. The rum has been patiently aged for over 10 years in a combination of American oak and French Limousin oak casks, resulting in a luxurious spirit with notes of tropical fruit, sweet cane, pressed flowers, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.
The nose of this Agricole rum reveals a serious, dark, and complex character, with initial notes of waxed woodiness, reminiscent of fine cigar humidors and weathered spices. As it evolves, the aroma becomes more open, with the emergence of dried fruits accompanied by spices that highlight the essence of the sugar cane.
Upon entry, the rum is soft and woody, with a rich and exotic character. The woodiness remains prominent, serving as a foundation for the aromas and leaving its signature on the palate. The finish is delicate, with hints of pepper, liquorice, and brown sugar, reminiscent of molasses.
This premium rum is a rare find, as it is made from sugar cane juice rather than the more common molasses. It is an exceptional example of the Rhum Agricole style, which is primarily produced in a few select countries, particularly on the French Antilles. The Saint James Rhum Millesime 2001 is a must-try for rum connoisseurs and a superb choice for those seeking a unique and memorable sipping experience.
This rum has an ABV of 43%.

A pretty good Saint James where the price matches the quality you get. The nose is quite fine and delicate, leaning towards dried and tropical fruits with a prominent woodiness typical of the distillery. On the palate, the wood character dominates but remains pleasant, with spicy notes and sugar cane in the background. The finish, while somewhat short, focuses again on the wood, accompanied by a hint of chocolate and cinnamon. It's perhaps not the most incredible rum available, but it offers a lovely exploration of the Saint James universe.
The profile of chocolate and caramel flavors from the oak barrel combined with the agricole juice is delicious. While expensive, it's well worth a sip to see a prime example of aged agricole rum.
Fresh and fruity with nice spices and roasted wood. The caramel note in the profile is enjoyable, and the empty glass reveals some chocolate and cinnamon. Overall, it's a soft yet typical Saint James, easy sipping Agricole.
