The Saint James Private Reserve Rum is a 15-year-old masterpiece from the renowned distillery of Saint James in Martinique. Known for its high-quality rums, the distillery produces this particular rum using sugarcane juice, following the traditional methods of the French Antilles. The rum is then aged for 15 years in small oak casks, allowing it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile that is truly distinctive.
This rum exhibits a dark mahogany color with red hues, a testament to its extensive aging process. The nose is inviting, featuring aromas of roasted coffee, tropical fruits, nutmeg, and ginger. On the palate, there are notes of espresso, toast, cinnamon, and prunes. The experience begins with sweet and fruity flavors, followed by a rich and spicy character, and concludes with a dry finish that leaves a lasting impression.
As a prime example of the rhum agricole style, Saint James Private Reserve Rum is celebrated for its unique flavor profile and limited production, contributing to less than 5% of the world's rum production.

Reviewers praise the inviting nose with fruity notes of peach, prune, raisin, and raspberry, as well as the floral and sugarcane notes that elevate its aromatic profile. Some feedback mentions the dominant woody and spicy characteristics, which may be too intense for some tastes. However, the balance of dried fruits, oak, and spices creates a rich and elegant experience.
