Saint James, Rhum Agricole de la Martinique

RHUM AGRICOLE DE LA MARTINIQUE

Appellation d'origine contrôlée

Saint James, Rhum Agricole de la Martinique

Martinique, an island in the Lesser Antilles, has for centuries been a highly suitable land for the production of rum. It is considered the home of Agricole, a type of Rhum that uses only pure sugar cane juice, which is fermented and then distilled in a continuous créole-type column.

The uniqueness of Martinique's Agricole has been protected since 1996 by a very strict specification, an absolute exception in the world of rum, where the identity of the various styles is entrusted to informal production traditions derived from the English, Spanish or French schools and not to national regulations.

In this context, Saint James stands out, an institution on the island since it was founded by the Reverend Edmon Léfebure in 1765.

THE UNIQUE TERROIR OF MARTINIQUE

The Saint James distillery cultivates sugar cane fields covering 275 hectares on volcanic soils in Martinique. The raw material requirements are thus largely covered internally, thus ensuring that the authenticity of this terroir with its unique characteristics is preserved.

There are 6 créole columns in operation to distil the pure cane juice, while in the cellar we find imposing 33,000 litre conical French oak vats or barrels that in their previous life contained Bourbon or Cognac.

The Saint James range is very wide, from the legendary "whites" Imperial and Coeur de Chauffe, to aged rum blends, created from a selection of around 17 thousand barrels, which currently represents the most important stock of Rhum Agricole in all the French Antilles.
