06 Aug Saint James Cuvee 1765 – Celebrating 250 Years!
Most of us probably don’t know the historical happenings of 1765. But here is one thing that happened in 1765: Reverend Father Edmund Lefebure, Superior of the Convent of the Brothers of Charity and a skilled alchemist, created the rum which was given the English name Saint James in order to make it easier to sell to the New England settlers. A pioneer in the industry, Saint James was the first rum to create vintage specific blends and designed a square bottle to maximize storage and minimize breakage on long sea voyages. Even a volcano in Martinique in 1902 couldn’t completely destroy one of the oldest rum brands.![Saint James Cuvee 1765 Saint James Cuvee 1765](http://www.pleasethepalate.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/20150730_134320-1-774x800.jpg)
