Saint James brand rums come from the renowned "Saint James" distillery in Sainte-Marie on the Caribbean island of Martinique and are made from fresh sugar cane juice, which is fermented in a complex fermentation process. A large proportion of the sugar cane required for this is grown directly on the company's own plantations, which ensures high quality and control over the entire production process.

During fermentation, which lasts 24 to 36 hours, all the sugar is converted into alcohol before distillation takes place. The result is a cane rum with an impressive alcohol content of 75% vol. which initially rests for six months in stainless steel tanks. This resting phase allows excess carbon dioxide and unwanted off-flavors to escape, allowing the rum to gradually develop a harmonious aroma and a pleasant taste.

This initial maturation is followed by at least two years of ageing in oak barrels, which gives the Saint James rum its characteristic depth and mature, woody notes. The result is a rum that impresses with its balance and aroma and reflects the distillery's tradition of craftsmanship.
