Product Details

Nose: Fresh-cut sugarcane dominates, backed by grassy notes and a hint of green banana. There's a subtle peppery spice and delicate floral aromas reminiscent of honeysuckle. A whiff of ethanol is present but not overpowering.

Palate: Crisp and vibrant, with a pronounced sugarcane sweetness balanced by grassy, vegetal notes. The high proof brings a pleasant warmth and amplifies flavors of green apple, citrus zest, and white pepper. There's a mineral quality reminiscent of wet stone.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering sugarcane sweetness. The peppery spice builds, leaving a tingle on the tongue. Hints of tropical fruit and a slight grassiness persist, along with a clean, minerally aftertaste that invites another sip.

Saint James Rhum Agricole 110 Proof White Rum is crafted from freshly-pressed sugar cane juice that's quickly fermented in open vats before being distilled at a low ABV in traditional Creole columns, resulting in a vibrant, grassy spirit that captures the essence of Martinique's terroir.

Saint James Rhum Agricole is made from freshly pressed sugarcane juice instead of molasses, giving it a unique grassy flavor profile that's more akin to tequila than traditional rum. This 110 proof version packs an extra punch while maintaining its distinctive character.

The distillery uses a rare "Creole column" still for distillation, a hybrid between pot and column stills. This traditional method, unique to Martinique, produces a spirit with more complexity and character than typical column-distilled rums.

Saint James holds a Guinness World Record for the largest rum bottle ever made. In 2015, they created a massive 9-foot tall bottle containing 1,590 liters of rum to celebrate their 250th anniversary, equivalent to more than 2,100 standard bottles!
