The story
The origins of Saint James date back to 1765 (Habitation Trou Vaillant). The brand was registered by Paulin Lambert in the 1880s with the characteristic square bottle; production was moved and centralized at the current Sainte‑Marie site in the 20th century. In 1973 ownership passed to Cointreau, which promoted the new Sainte‑Marie facilities; in 2003 Saint James was acquired by the La Martiniquaise group. The Sainte‑Marie site also hosts the Musée du Rhum and the Maison de la Distillation, spaces dedicated to the history and techniques of rhum agricole.
Distillation
Traditional Creole column (continuous distillation) for many references; pot still/alambic for some specific expressions (cœur de chauffe).
Ageing
Aging in dedicated cellars; some cuvées are matured for long periods in selected small Bourbon barrels.
