Dating back to 1765, Saint James is the oldest and largest  distillery, and represents the heritage of Martinique. After being  bought by Cointreau in 1973, the distillery was moved from  Saint-Pierre to Sainte-Marie on the east coast of Martinique in  1974. Since July 2003, it has been owned by La Martiniquais.  Distilled in a creole column still, this blend of two vintages (2003  and 2010), of aged rhum agricole was bottled at the Saint James  distillery at 45%, falling under the Appellation d’Origine  Contrôlée Rhum Agricole.
