Saint James 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 250 Rums

Saint-James traces its origins back to 1765 and is one of the oldest names in bottled rum: the brand was registered in 1882, together with the square bottle it still sells. Today it holds Martinique's largest export quota, runs what may be the world's best distillation museum, and its old vintages and J. Bally bottlings are among the most loved Martinique rums on RumX.
