But if your recipe calls for St. James - then the Lemon Hart, or another Demerara, is fairly close to that sharp flavor that the St. James has. The Cruzan (5 year) is also good as a mixer. Another possiblity is the Flor De Cana, it's got a fantastic flavor and would do nothing but add to the mix. It's a bit sweeter than the St. James but not too much. It's a very good rum. Hey, those rum tastings came in handy! Good thing I took notes because I tend to forget... uhhhh... something.... ... what was the question?
