Saint James Rum

A master blender bearing a woman's name in an industry dominated by men - Myriam Bredas oversees the casks at Saint James on Martinique. All their rum is agricole, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, with a grassy freshness quite different from the dark sweetness of molasses rum. This is the island's own take on rum, refined across generations.

About Saint James Rum

Saint James is one of Martinique's oldest rum houses and produces exclusively rhum agricole, with every cask överseen by master blender Myriam Bredas. For the newcomer it's a fresh, grassy, sugarcane-pure style of rum, quite different from darker molasses rum; for the connoisseur, Saint James is interesting as one of the historically most important names in the agricole category, with production that deliberately holds on to the traditional Martinique approach to rum.

History & Background

Saint James is one of the oldest distilleries on Martinique, with roots stretching back to the 18th century, when the island's sugarcane plantations first began producing rum for the French market in earnest. Through the 20th century, Saint James established itself as one of the most respected names in rhum agricole, a category protected by French AOC status, much like wine from specific regions. Today the ageing is överseen by master blender Myriam Bredas, who carries forward the house's long tradition of quality control and characterful maturation.

Production & Style

Saint James produces rhum agricole under the protected Martinique AOC designation, which requires distillation of fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses.

Signature Style

Earthy, Green, Fresh
The taste offers a fresh, earthy character with green, vegetal notes typical of rhum agricole.
