AboutRhum Saint James
Saint James began near Saint-Pierre, Martinique, in 1765 and later moved to Sainte-Marie, where its distillery, ageing cellars and rum museum stand today. The square bottle dates to 1883, when it was introduced to make sea transport more secure. Saint James makes rhum agricole from fresh sugar-cane juice rather than molasses, fermenting the juice before distilling it in continuous Creole columns. The range includes white rum and barrel-aged expressions.
Saint James Impérial Blanc Agricole Rhum
French Rum
Freshly cut sugar cane leads a vivid, aromatic white rum, followed by light pepper, spice, flowers and ripe fruit. The palate is bold but smooth, with clear vegetal character and a warm opening that settles into a more delicate texture. Cane freshness remains central through the finish, joined by gentle fruit and a clean, lingering spice. Serve in a traditional Ti' Punch with lime and a touch of cane syrup, or use in cocktails that benefit from a dry, grassy rum profile.
