Saint James Velier 25th Anniversary Collection 10x70cl 47°
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the AOC Martiniquaise appellation, Velier presents an exclusive and exceptionally rare set of ten vintages of Saint James rum.
Founded in 1765 in Saint-Pierre by the alchemist priest, Edmund Lefébure, Saint James has known many lives. The Plantation passed from the Hospitaller order, the Fathers of Charity to the State after the French Revolution then to the private sector including François-Paulin Lambert, buyer in 1890 to whom we owe the emblematic square bottle of rum.
Surviving both the devastating eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902 and the collapse of the rum market after the First World War, Saint James has been able to constantly reinvent itself, to become one of the largest producers of rum from La Martinique, operating six Creole column stills to produce more than 4 million liters of rum per year.
Velier was founded by Casimir Chaix in Genoa in 1947 as an importer and distributor of wines and spirits. From the 90s, Velier becomes a reference for all tasters in the world with its premium selections of whiskey or rum.

Habitation Velier cuvées are a guarantee of high quality and offer prestigious rums from all over the world.
Since 1947, the Velier house based in Italy has specialized in importing the best wines and spirits.
Building on its evolution, the Habitation Velier range was created in 2015 at the initiative of Luca Gargano in order to present Pure Single Rum, rums from a single distillery where they were distilled discontinuously in a Pot Still.
Through this range of excellence, it is a desire for transparency and authenticity that are highlighted. These unique rums are produced in an artisanal way from local raw materials, aged on site to benefit from the tropical climate, all in direct collaboration with the distilleries. The labels present all the design information, and they are bottled cask strenght, without colouring or cold filtration.
Habitation Velier cuvées are rums with a high degree of alcohol, concentrated and with an aromatic profile borrowing from a great richness in aromas.
