Saint James - Bitters - 44.5%
The Saint-James Distillery is located in Martinique . Its story begins with Reverend Edmond Lefébure, who was then Father Superior at the convent of the Brothers of Charity and a chemist at heart. It didn't take long for him to spot the potential of the cane brandy distilled near his hospital and set out to make it himself. The story follows its course and in 1973, the Cointreau company acquired Rhums Saint-James and consolidated all production in Sainte-Marie . In 2003, Cointreau sold the distillery to La Martiniquaise , its current owner.
This Bitters is made from the maceration of several plants and spices (quinquina, gentian, angelica, caraway, coriander, absinthe, arquebuse, etc.). It is used to make iconic cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
