Saint James originated in St Pierre de la Martinique in 1765, thanks to the Reverend Father Edmond LEFEBURE, Superior of the Convent of the Brothers of Charity, and alchemist scientist who fashioned a cane brandy called ?Tafia?. In order to facilitate the sale of the production in New England, it was decided in 1765 that this rum would be called Saint James: a strong Anglo-Saxon name and the name of a large prestigious family in the British Kingdom.
In 1882, the trademark was registered along with the famous square bottle designed to be stored rationally in the hold of the vessels, which allowed a reduction in the breakage during major storms. In Sainte Marie, Saint James perpetuates its know-how and its Martinique authenticity by offering exceptional rums regularly medaled in numerous international competitions, making the brand one of the most awarded in Martinique.

The tonnage certificates of the class are available online at www.f18.fr, allowing everyone to verify that the proposed equipment is in accordance with the description given by the class.
