Originating from Martinique, the Saint James Double Cask - Ex-Armagnac & Ex-Porto - Private Cask is a premium rum from the Saint James distillery, which is renowned for its rum production in the French Caribbean, specifically in Martinique. This particular expression is quite special due to its aging process, which combines the use of two different types of casks: casks that previously contained armagnac and casks that previously contained port.
The armagnac casks impart deep fruity flavors with hints of oak, spices, and sometimes a subtle smoky note to this limited edition, while the port wine casks add sweetness and fruitiness, often with notes of dried fruits, berries, and sometimes a touch of chocolate.
Produced in a limited edition of only 1,260 bottles, this rare cuvée will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs of fine rums.

Nose: A rich bouquet of fruity aromas, with hints of dried fruits (such as raisins and figs) from the port casks, accompanied by a complex layer of spices and wood from the armagnac casks.
Palate: The flavor profile is a beautiful balance of sweet fruitiness and spicy wood, with a velvety texture. The influence of the armagnac casks might bring subtle notes of leather, tobacco, and warm spices, while the port casks add sweetness, red fruit flavors, and perhaps even a touch of chocolate.
Finish: Long and comforting, with a smooth balance between wood and fruitiness, slightly spicy and sweet.
The Saint James brand is one of the most iconic distilleries in Martinique and a reference in the world of agricultural rum. Founded in 1765, it is one of the oldest and most respected rum producers in France, particularly known for its expertise in crafting premium rums.
Saint James was founded in the town of the same name, in Martinique, at the heart of one of the most renowned sugarcane-growing regions. The distillery has successfully preserved traditional know-how while innovating with modern production methods. Its long history and heritage give it a reputation for quality and excellence in the rum world.
It is particularly famous for its agricultural rum, made from pure sugarcane juice rather than molasses. This unique process gives Saint James a distinctive aromatic richness, more floral and fruity than rums made from molasses.
The distillery offers a wide range of products, from young white rums to aged rums, often matured in oak barrels that have previously contained spirits like whisky, port, or armagnac. This variety of aging allows Saint James to offer rums with a wide range of profiles, from lighter and fruitier to more complex and spicy.
Saint James rum is appreciated not only in France and the Caribbean but also internationally. It is considered a prestigious rum, often sought after by connoisseurs and collectors. Thanks to its high-quality rums, Saint James has established itself as a leading brand in the world of premium rum.
Saint James therefore embodies the excellence of agricultural rums from Martinique, combining tradition, expertise, and innovation to offer exceptional tasting experiences.
