Saint James 1885

Saint James 1885 is a piece of rum history from the long established Saint James name, a cane juice rum carrying extraordinary age and the patina that only decades in wood can give. It is the kind of bottle approached as an experience rather than an everyday pour, distilled from sugarcane juice and built around mature oak.

The profile is dark, layered and woody. Dried fruit, old leather, marmalade and vanilla sit over deep oak, and the finish stretches out long and slowly evolving. The wood is dominant yet leaves room for the fruit and the rum's other elements to show, so it reads as intense and layered rather than merely tannic. This is a slow, contemplative spirit for seasoned enthusiasts who want a rare, dark and historic cane juice rum to consider over a long evening.
