This exceptional Saint James Millesime 1986 rum, hermetically sealed and carefully preserved under optimal conditions at the Saint James distillery in Martinique, is a true testament to fine craftsmanship and tradition. The bottle is numbered and presented in a handsome box, underscoring its rarity and collectible nature. Only the finest harvest years earn the distinction of a vintage, making this 1986 release particularly special. Notably, rum production in the 1980s saw a significant decline, further elevating the scarcity and desirability of rums from this era. Consequently, the Saint James 1986 stands out as a rare and exceptional spirit. Although we haven’t had the privilege of tasting it ourselves, Marc Sassier, the production director at Saint James, has imparted his expert notes. According to him, the 1986 vintage represents a classic Saint James profile: roasted, grilled, and woody, with nuances of nutmeg and macerated fruits (stone fruits and prunes). Connoisseurs and reviewers alike have praised this rum for its very well-balanced and round profile, with a delightful natural sweetness. Subtle floral notes are interwoven between layers of chocolate, coffee, and oak, creating a truly sophisticated and harmonious experience.
The Saint James Millesime 1986 rum is unique due to its meticulous preservation, the rarity of rums from the 1980s, and its exceptional vintage quality, highlighted by expert tasting notes that describe a complex and well-rounded profile.
Only 1,425 bottles of Saint James Millesime 1986 were produced, making it a highly collectible and rare find.
The primary flavor notes of Saint James Millesime 1986 include dried fruit, dark chocolate, coffee, cherry, and oak, with subtle hints of citrus and a light floral note.
As a passionate rum enthusiast, I find the Saint James Millesime 1986 to be an extraordinary and rare treasure. Its harmonious blend of roasted and fruity flavors, interspersed with subtle floral notes, creates a sublime tasting experience. The meticulous preservation and limited production make it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike. The rich, lingering finish leaves a lasting impression, solidifying its place as a classic in the world of fine rums.
