Descripción

The Saint James XO Rhum Vieux Agricole is a first-class rum from the traditional Saint James distillery in Sainte Marie, Martinique. Made from fresh sugar cane juice, this rum represents the essence of Caribbean craftsmanship. The Saint James Company cultivates most of the sugar cane required on its own plantations to ensure the highest quality. After fermentation, which takes 24 to 36 hours and converts all the sugar into alcohol, the rum is distilled to give it its incomparable character.

The resulting rum with an alcohol content of 75% by volume is allowed to rest for six months in stainless steel tanks. During this phase, unwanted flavors and carbon dioxide are released, resulting in a harmonious and balanced aroma. The Saint James XO Rhum Vieux Agricole is a blend that matures for between six and ten years in small oak barrels. This long maturation period gives it exceptional depth and complexity.
