The XO cuvée of Saint James is a selection of some of the best barrels chosen by Marc Sassier. They are small 200-liter ex-bourbon barrels where the agricultural rhum is left to age for 6 to 10 years in a tropical climate in the aging chais of the Sainte Marie distillery. The barrels used for the production of Saint James XO come from the most suitable areas of Martinique, once they arrive at the Sainte-Marie distillery, on the north-eastern coast of the island, they are pressed and the juice is soaked with a part of water, after which the fermentation takes place in large stainless steel vats, using selected yeast, a fermentation lasting about 48 hours. Distillation follows in large Creole steel columns.

Every lover of rhum agricole will appreciate Saint James XO, drunk straight, pairing it with refreshing desserts based on citrus or exotic fruit or even with savory cheeses. It can be used in cocktails such as the Old Fashioned or the Boulevardier.
