Saint James Rum Reserve is a carefully blended reserve, extra old Rum with a high share of delicate fruit and elegant vanilla.
Situated in the middle of the Lesser Antilles chain of islands, Martinique was designated an Appellation D'Origine Controlee by the French governement in 1996. This important declaration ensured the traditional production and quality standards of Rhum Agricole in Martinique would be protected. While there are 14 producers of Rhum Agricole on the island, perhaps none is as important as Saint James, the oldest distillery on the island, and 3rd oldest rum brand in the world.
Founded in 1765 (eleven years before the Declaration of Independence was signed) Saint James also holds the largest and most important stocks of aged Agricole. These incredible stocks make for the most compelling blends. All of Saint James' rhum comes from the cane fields surrounding the distillery. This important fact gives the shortest possible time between harvest and the beginning of fermentation, a critical time frame to capture and create the best flavors in the final product.
Distilled on Saint James' Creole column stills in 2015 (the companies 250th anniversary), this special Cellar Reserve Cask Strength bottling was blended by Master Blender Marc Sassier in 2020 exclusively from ex-Bourbon casks, rather than the usual French oak barrels found in the majority of Martinique Agricole. This tiny batch yielded only 3,835 bottles and is sure to go down in Rhum circles as one of the most compelling bottlings from Saint James to make it to the United States.
Bottled at 51.3% ABV with no additives.
