Saint James Couer De Chauffe

Review #1242; Rum #551

This rum here was distilled at the Saint James distillery on Martinique from fresh pressed cane juice. However, this rum was not distilled on the traditional column still, instead this was distilled on a pot still and bottled with no additives at a high proof.

A great unaged cane juice offering, this is delicious to sip neat, brings a ton of flavor, but also drinks under its proof. It’s also very affordable which doesn’t factor into my scores but should be notes here. Overall what a great cane juice rum.
