Saint James Magnum Series #2 12 Year Old Martinique Rhum Agricole 45% – Alex Webb Edition (150 cl)

Saint James Magnum Series #2 12 year old rum in magnum bottle is an impressive edition for the serious rum lover and collector. This exclusive Alex Webb Edition presents the authentic soul of Martinique in a large 150 cl bottle, where traditional craftsmanship and modern quality meet in perfect balance. The result is a complex and elegant rhum agricole that highlights the best of the island’s proud rum tradition.

The rum is created from a carefully selected blend of distillates from the 2003 and 2010 vintages. After distillation in the classic Créole Column, the rum is aged in traditional ex-bourbon casks where it has developed its deep aromatics and refined structure over the years. The slow maturation results in a rum with intensity, complexity and a silky smooth balance.

Saint James Distillery, founded in 1765, is one of the most historic distilleries in the Caribbean. Production follows the rules of Martinique’s Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC), ensuring genuine rhum agricole made from fresh sugar cane juice. This results in rums with a distinctive aromatic depth and a style that differs significantly from classic molasses-based rums.

The Magnum Series #2 edition is bottled at 45%, providing a harmonious balance between power and elegance. The 150cl magnum format is even more impressive and is a great choice for collectors or special occasions.
