Saint James Les Arrangés (Ananas Victoria Vanille Bourbon)

Saint James Les Arranges Ananas Victoria Vanille Bourbon is a flavoured rhum arrange from Saint James, the long-established Martinique house, built on a sugar cane juice base and macerated with Victoria pineapple and Bourbon vanilla. Arrange is the French-island tradition of steeping fruit and spice in young rum.

At 35% this is a soft, sweet and fruit-forward drink rather than a dry sipping agricole, with the pineapple-and-vanilla pairing pointing to a rounded, dessert-leaning profile. Honestly served chilled or over ice, it is an easy, gourmand pour rather than a rum to study neat.
