Saint James is one of the oldest and most revered rum distilleries in the Caribbean — and a brand that serious agricole enthusiasts seek out by name. Founded in 1765 when Reverend Pere Edmond established a sugar mill and distillery in Saint Pierre, Martinique, the distillery originally operated under the name Saint Jacques before being renamed Saint James to better appeal to the New England colonies. Over 260 years later, the distillery remains one of the defining voices in Martinique rhum agricole — a category so distinct and carefully regulated it carries its own AOC designation, requiring distillation from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. At Chips Liquor we carry the full Saint James range, from the crisp and vibrant Blanc and lightly aged Paille to the oak-driven Royal Ambre, the structured VO, and the complex aged expressions that showcase what Martinique terroir can produce over time. Each bottle is a lesson in what makes French Caribbean rum so special. Browse our full Saint James collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.
