The brand legend
The forgotten recipe of Piano Palmatico
An old page, a captain who came from the sea and a recipe hidden in the countryside of Caltagirone: this is where the legend of Old James begins.

The legend of Old James
The recovered manuscript
Before sailing again, he is said to have left those pages at Piano Palmatico, in the countryside of Caltagirone. Years later, the Sicilian Whiskey maker would find and reinterpret them.
From legend to glass
The story inspires the identity of Old James. In the glass you find something tangible: Italian white rum, muscovado, spices, 35% ABV and a finish in former Red Fox Sicilian Whiskey casks.
