Review by Godspeed
Much too watered down and a too short finish. There's something flat about it that I'm not used to tasting with Saint James. I prefer their bog standard VSOP over this one so price to quality is certainly not fantastic. This distillery has a high bar and it's not a horrible rhum by any means, but I would not introduce anyone to SJ with this one.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rating of this rum is so strange. It is standard rum. But the tail is realy unusual and tasty. Still - standard taste body
