Saint
James Agricole rhum brand has created new cocktail bitters following two years
of research and development. Saint
James Aromatic Cocktail Bitters was created using a base of sugarcane alcohol,
which is macerated with plants and spices such as wormwood, gentian, quinquina,
angelica flower, caraway, coriander and ginger.
Saint
James brand ambassador Stephen Martin used historical pharmacist, distiller and
bartender manuals to come up with the final recipe. The mix of ingredients is said to offer a
“perfect balance” of four flavor characteristics – floral, herbal, spicy and
bitter – resulting in an “organoleptic profile perfectly adapted for white
rhum-based cocktails”.
Produced
in Martinique, Saint James is the world’s best-selling agricole rhum, with a
distribution footprint in more than 50 countries.
