Saint James Blanc 55% 1 Litre
Saint James Blanc 55% 1 Litre is an authentic Martinican agricole rum produced directly from fresh sugar cane juice. Powerful, aromatic and highly expressive, it perfectly reflects the traditional style of French Caribbean agricole rum.
This rum stands out for its vibrant vegetal character, freshness and dry profile. At Licorea, we believe it is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to discover the true personality of a Martinique agricole rum, very different from traditional molasses-based rum.
What is agricole rum?
Unlike many classic Caribbean rums, agricole rum is distilled directly from freshly pressed sugar cane juice. This production method preserves the natural aromas of the cane and delivers a fresher, greener and more vegetal profile.
Martinique is one of the world’s most respected regions for this rum style. The island has a long agricultural tradition and strict production regulations that help preserve the authenticity of its rums.
Saint James is one of Martinique’s historic distilleries and one of the leading names in French agricole rum.
An intense and refreshing profile
Saint James Blanc 55% reveals lively aromas of fresh cane, herbal notes, tropical fruit and delicate spices. Its high alcohol strength brings power while remaining balanced and remarkably clean.
On the palate it is dry, expressive and intensely aromatic. Freshly cut cane and bright citrus notes dominate the profile, leading to a long and distinctive finish.
The 55% ABV is typical of many white agricole rums traditionally enjoyed in the French Caribbean, both neat and in cocktails.
Perfect for Caribbean cocktails
This Martinican agricole rum is ideal for preparing the classic Ti' Punch, the traditional French Caribbean serve made with white rum, lime and cane sugar.
It also works beautifully in daiquiris, mojitos and tropical cocktails where a fresher and more authentic sugar cane profile is desired.
At Licorea, we believe this Saint James Blanc 55% can be a real surprise for those only familiar with sweeter or heavily oak-aged rums. Its dry and vegetal character offers a completely different rum experience.
The tradition of Martinique
Saint James has been producing rum in Martinique since the 18th century and remains deeply connected to the island’s traditional agricole style. Its rums are highly appreciated both in France and among premium rum enthusiasts worldwide.
The 1 litre format is ideal for cocktail lovers or anyone looking for a versatile bottle with genuine Caribbean character.
