St. James is celebrating their 250th Anniversary this year and has announced a very special launched the commemorative Saint
James Cuvée 1765 bottling, in homage to the original 1765 style and recipe. It is described as the “epitome” of the
brand’s range. Saint James’ Rhum Agricole is still produced on the Caribbean
Island, which has the only rum AOC – a decree for the “controlled destination
of origin” – in the world.expression for the occasion. They
St. James, which is one of the oldest
in the world , will also host a series of festivities on its home island of
Martinique, where it first began producing rum in 1765. This, the brand claims, “ensures the
quality” of the rum, which can only be produced from cane grown in the decree’s
authorized areas. Saint James says it
was the first rum to create vintage-specific blends, and the first to design
the square bottle, in order to “maximize storage and minimize breakage” on sea
voyages to its primary export markets. A
statement from the brand read: “Saint James Rum is and has always been
committed to quality, heritage, innovation and traditional expertise.
One of the oldest rum makers in the world and still to this day producing high quality rums 250 years later. This is a wonderful expression and a proper on to the occasion. I hope that you get the opportunity to taste this fine example of the AOC rum process. ;o)
