Saint James Cuvée 1765

Saint James Cuvée 1765 celebrates 250 years of the distillery's rhum Agricole production in Martinique. The fresh pressed juice used to make it is grown within the Rhum Agricole AOC in the fields of Saint-Marie. This anniversary blend was created by master blender Myriam Bredas and oenologist Marc Sassier, who selected six vintages that come together to approximate the flavors of the distillery's original rum style, aged in a combination of French or American Oak barrels. The heavy glass bottle design and shape is a throwback to an age when rum had to endure long sea voyages and could be stored efficiently in the holds of the ships to maximize space.

Dark amber color. Sweet aromas of caramel, fresh cigar, and grilled peach with a syrupy, lovely medium-full body and a subtle, very long vanilla cola, ginger powder, dark caramel, and faint butterscotch sweetness come in at the mid-palate then fades into a long, smooth and dry finish. A touch of tobacco smoke and herbaceousness hits with additional sips of this clean, elegant rum. Barrel-aged rum lovers are over the moon with this rich ready-to-drink rum.
