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 an alchemist who shaped 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: name with a strong Anglo-Saxon sounding and name of a large prestigious family of the British Kingdom.
In 1882, the trademark was registered as well as the famous square bottle designed to be stored rationally in the hold of ships, which allowed a reduction in breakage during major storms. In Sainte Marie, Saint James perpetuates its Martinique know-how and authenticity by offering exceptional rums regularly medalized in many international competitions, making the brand one of the most awarded in Martinique.
