Saint James 2001
Sip this one neat and the oak does most of the talking — roasted wood, cinnamon and a caramel-chocolate edge, with tropical fruit and sugarcane hanging back. A soft, easy-drinking aged agricole from Saint James, though a few tasters feel the barrel takes over and buries the fruit and vanilla. One member found it played nicely alongside a sweet dessert.

How does Saint James 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Soft, wood-forward aged agricole Most see a soft, typical Saint James — woody and spiced with dried-fruit and caramel notes. The catch: several find the oak dominates and swallows the fruit, with a short finish.

Review by Kieron Wood
The vieux felt to young in r The profile of the chocolate and caramel flavours from that oak barrel combined with agricole juice ... This stuff is delicious , expensive but well worth a sip to see a prime example of aged agricole
Review by TheJackDrop
Torréfié, boisé, épicé, on suce un peu trop la planche à mon goût et on perd la vanille et les fruits je trouve. Petite cannelle et café au nez qui sont cela dit sympathique. Par contre avec un dessert sucré comme un cannelé ça le fait. C’est un peu triché du coup :)

Recht weicher, aber dennoch typischer Saint James. Easy Sipping Agricole.

Very good old rhum from La Martinique. Woody taste with a little of dried fruits. I find a little liquorice also.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Saint James au nez assez fin et délicat, tiré sur les fruits secs et tropicaux et surtout sur le bois, typique de la distillerie. Ce dernier l’emporte davantage en bouche mais sans être désagréable, avec quelques notes épicées et de canne à sucre en arrière-plan. La finale, assez courte, se concentre encore une fois sur le bois, accompagné cette fois d’une pointe de chocolat et de cannelle. Peut-être pas le rhum le plus incroyable qui soit, mais une belle découverte de l’univers Saint James.

A pretty OK Saint James where the price matches what you get. Fresh and fruity with nice spices and roasted wood. I like the caramel note in the profile and the empty glass has some chocolate and cinnamon.
Review by Boletus
I really like the smell with its mixture of tart fruit and spicy oak. In the mouth, unfortunately, I have to fight my way through too much wood and acidity for my taste to get back to the appealing fruit flavors and spices. However, I've had it in my glass several times now and each time I've tasted it a little better, which is why I can well imagine that it will become even more appealing as the level in the bottle decreases.
