Description

Rhum Agricole at its best! Depaz is one of the leading distilleries in Martinique, a small island in the French Caribbean.

This Rhum Blanc is a special release exclusively harvested on the skirt of the Montagne Pele with its typical soil. The fresh cane juice is fermented for 48 hours, then distilled in the typical copper column still. It comes out at 70% alcohol and it is slowly reduced with water over 60 days. It is also matured in stainless steel tanks for a minimum of 3 months before bottling.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: fruity, floral and complex aroma, with a specific mineral touch.
Palate: the attack is sweet and honeyed, with very elegant floral flavours. Sugar cane, orange blossom, banana combined with spicy notes of pepper and tobacco follows.

Rhum Agricole

Depaz

Heralding from the paradise isle of Martinique, in the lush French West Indies, Depaz Rum is born from the rhum agricole methods of production and features the exclusive use of luxurious, estate-grown, fresh-cut sugar cane.

Depaz Rums proudly holds the enviable French AOC – Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée designation for Rhum Agricole, confirming its strict adherence to precise standards of excellence.

The Depaz estate's history can be traced back to 1651, when it was established by Governor Jacques Duparquet.

The AOC Rhum Agricole de la Martinique:

Restricts production to the short, best season for the cane to pack aromas.
Requires that only the fresh juice of the cane be used — contrary to 95% of the world’s rums, which use by-products like molasses and crushed stalks from the sugar refining industry.

Agricole Rum belongs in the world of cognac or Armagnac, whereas Traditional Rum (also known as Industrial Rum) is more comparable to grappa or pomace spirits.

Probably the best of Martinique rums, Depaz bears the legacy of the Montagne Pelée volcanic eruption on May 8th, 1902, which tragically killed 30,000 inhabitants of the town of St. Pierre.

The Depaz plantation, covered in ash, was only able to resume sugar cane crops many years later — but with significantly increased yields and superior cane juice quality, thanks to the fertilizing properties of the volcanic ash.
