Saint James XO The Quintessence of Martinique
Saint James XO embodies the excellence of the Sainte-Marie distillery, the jewel of Martinique. This refined and sophisticated cuvée is part of the prestigious lineage of AOC Martinique agricultural rums, with a meticulous ageing of six years that gives it an unequalled roundness and complexity. This heritage, passed down from generation to generation, celebrates the unique know-how of Saint James, offering a sensory journey to the heart of the island of flowers.
A Martinican rum with an incomparable character
The Saint James XO, adorned with its dark mahogany hue, is a liquid work of art. On the nose, it reveals an exceptional aromatic richness, where the woodiness intertwines with notes of humidor and undergrowth, before opening up to a myriad of fruity and spicy scents. The scents of cocoa, coffee and mocha, typical of Saint James aged barrels, blend harmoniously with cinnamon and nutmeg, inviting you to taste.
A Symphony of the Senses Saint James XO
On the palate, Saint James XO stands out for its soft and enveloping texture. Each sip is a celebration of fruity, roasted, woody and spicy, faithfully reflecting the aromas perceived on the nose. Shades of rancio and blond tobacco unfold, enriching the experience. The finish, long and majestic, marks l'esprit by its complexity and amplitude, testifying to the art of distillation and ageing mastered to perfection.
Saint James XO is more than a rum: it is an invitation to explore the richness and diversity of Martinique's flavors, a treasure for enthusiasts and a must-see for those looking to discover the very essence of agricultural rum.
