The Saint James 2003 Brut de Fut 15yo is an exceptional release from the prestigious Saint James distillery located on the enchanting island of Martinique. This rum, a proud bearer of the AOC Martinique designation, has been meticulously matured for 15 years in 300-liter French oak barrels under the expert supervision of the house oenologist, Marc Sassier. Distilled in 2003, this exquisite rum was transferred to a vat and subsequently to a cask in 2018, where it rested for two additional years to achieve its perfect harmony.
Immediately upon tasting, the rum reveals a profound depth, showcasing a luscious array of fruit and spice that captivates the palate. An initial hint of pepper tantalizes the taste buds, accompanied by a dry woody character and a subtle earthy nuance. This gradually gives way to velvety tannins intertwined with ripe fruits like mirabelle plums and dried fruits such as apricot, papaya, and mango.
On the nose, the rum opens with rich, slightly peppery wood notes that blend beautifully with fermented cane juice and a faint sour note. Toasted aromas follow, evoking indulgent scents of cocoa and walnut husk. Aeration enhances the rum’s amplitude, infusing it with a warm, sunny essence. The dominant fruits offer a generous, finely mentholated breeze that is truly delightful.
