A blend of six single casks from Maison Saint James: 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2006, and 2009. All were aged in 200-liter American oak barrels except for the 2006 (350-liter French oak).
A word from Marc Sassier, oenologist and production manager at the Saint James distillery: “Our Cuvée Élégance is unique in the world of agricultural rums because it brings together our most prestigious and rare single casks since 1997. It is a true tribute to our House, which still holds the oldest vintages of the Martinique AOC. Each aged rum brings its own style, creating a rich and indulgent harmony.
Tasting notes provided by the producer:
A lively, non-aggressive first nose marked by rich woodiness punctuated with notes of nutmeg and coffee. The nose evolves into a smooth and fruity aromatic palette.
The attack is typical of the Maison Saint James style, both warm and roasted. Sweetness dominates, gradually giving way to the characteristic rancio of ripe fruit.
