The Plantations Saint James brand was created by an enterprising trader of Jamaican rum, Paulin Lambert, who in 1882 deposits the name and at the same time the design of the famous flat-bottomed carrée bottle that still identifies this brand, as well as buying four distilleries, where he starts producing Saint James Rum.
Paulin Lambert is one of the first entrepreneurs to use advertising to market an alcoholic product, anticipating all the competitors and bringing the brand to become a leader in Martinique, France and soon in the world.
In 1967 it was bought by the Picon consortium, in 1971 Picon was bought by Cointreau, in 2003 by the La Martiniquaise group.
The last forty years of the history of Saint James have been marked by the presence in the company of Mr. Jean Claude Benoit, general manager of the company for more than thirty years and probably the most important man of rhum agricole for what he did and keep doing.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
