Saint James Cuvée 250th Anniversary
A blend of Saint James stocks distilled more than a century apart, and the surprise is how gentle it turned out. Vanilla, dried fruit and orange peel sit over soft agricole cane, with raisin and cherry filling in. Members call it elegant, round and balanced — but several also find it thin and lightly watery, missing the punch a 250th-anniversary bottle promises.

How does Saint James Cuvée 250th Anniversary taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Elegant, soft agricole blend that runs a bit thin Widely liked as a smooth, complex agricole and a genuine collector's piece, but the recurring gripe is real: it drinks soft, thin and a touch under-powered.

Review by Benoit Bail
One of the most successful creations in the rum world, blending rums produced over 100 years apart. Brillant
Review by Martin Augustin
Vanille, getrocknete Früchte und typische Agricole Noten kommen einem entgegen. Geschmacklich unglaublich rund, komplex und einfach lecker. Die genannten Noten werden ergänzt um Orangenschale, Kirsche und Rosinen. Es ist definitiv ein sehr guter Blend und eine Besonderheit. Das PLV ist natürlich miserabel.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is an expensive drop and the price is probably high because of the rareness of the release and what it celebrates. Overall the rum is well balanced, lightly sweet and kind of light. Fruity with spices and caramel on top. Would be a nice collectors item in my mind.
Review by Oli Hollister
Super nez mais bouche très en deça Malgré une certaine complexité je le trouve trop doux pas assez expressif Manque de caractère
Review by Master P
Von der 250th Edition erwartet man einiges. Geruch ist ansprechend und Agricole kommt gut durch. Fruchtig und leicht holzig, schmeckt aber sehr verwässert und der Abgang ist langweilig. Leicht pelzig auf der Zunge. PVL miserabel
Review by Johannes
Phantastischer Blend! Schön rund, komplex, leider etwas dünn.
Review by Agricoler
Sehr leckerer Saint James auch wenn er für keine totale Offenbarung ist. Einfach ein richtig leckerer Agricole der allerdings gs für mich preislich absolut schwierig ist. Man bekommt für weniger Geld deutlich bessere Saint James.
