Magnum Series #2 Saint James 12 Year Rum - 2010

This special, limited edition series brings together the fine art of photography through the work of pioneering photo agency Magnum Photos, and the art of distillation via a one-off selection of some of the finest and most artisanal spirits in the world. For series two the work featured are original creations from Alex Webb, an agency photographer since 1979. Dating back to 1765, Saint James is the oldest and largest distillery, and represents the heritage of Martinique. This release was created from rum stocks drawn from the 2003 and 2010 vintages both 100% aged tropically and bottled on site in Martinique at the distillery. Perhaps the most dynamic in the series owing in part to the creole still and unique Martinique terroir, notes here include cocoa, dark buckwheat honey, bay leaf, chestnuts and dates.
