The Velier 2006 Saint James Classic Magnum Elliott Erwitt Photos Edition LMDW Exclusive is a limited edition rum, with only 600 bottles available. Distilled in 2004 and 2006 using traditional copper column stills at the Saint James distillery in Saint-Marie, Martinique, this exquisite rhum agricole has been aged for 15 years in oak casks before being bottled in 2021.
This release marks the first independent bottling of Saint James and is a result of a unique collaboration between Velier, La Maison du Whisky, and the renowned explorer and photographer, Elliott Erwitt. The bottle features a photograph taken by Erwitt in Rome in 2005, capturing a friend's wedding scene with the bride visible in silhouette.
The Magnum Serie 1 Saint James 2006 is a blend of two AOC Martinique vintage rums, showcasing the exceptional terroir and craftsmanship of the Saint James distillery.

The overall consensus among reviewers is that the Velier 2006 Saint James Classic Magnum is a great rum with a balanced and complex nose featuring fruity, floral, and spicy notes. The palate is warm and well-balanced, with flavors of oak, nutmeg, citrus, coffee, and light tea. However, some reviewers feel that the price tag is high considering its quality, making it more of a collector's item. The rum's finish is praised for its length and complexity, with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, apricot, coffee, and licorice. Despite some critics finding it slightly less sophisticated than other high-maturity rums, it remains a noteworthy addition to any connoisseur's collection.
