Product Description
Rhum Agricole is both a distinctive production methodology and, more recently, an AOC (Appellation of Origin) protected product when produced according to strict criteria in the French protectorates of Martinique and Guadalupe. Primarily the distinction is the use of fresh cane juice instead of molasses or other refined sugar products and column distillation. The results are generally dryer and more aromatic Rums of elegance and refinement. HSE's blanco is reputedly the only rhum/rum in the world which is progressively reduced from the 70% distillate down to 50% alcohol over a period of two years, partly via evaporation. Others typically reduce immediately after distillation, and then bottle shortly after or within a few months. The former technique allows the rhum to 'rest' and develop far longer than any other white rum, preserving the delicate aroma and mouth-feel.

Very expressive and textural Rhum Agricole

Grassy, vegetal notes on the nose, with hints of wet hay, barley sugars and creamed corn. The palate carries a gentle warmth and mouthfilling feeling, with flavours of dry grass, cooked corn, light brown sugar, and lingering white or purple sweet potato. The balance between texture, nose and palate characteristics is excellent, all working in symbiosis to deliver a well-rounded sensory tasting experience. Hard to deliver in an unaged or young white cane spirit. This is a very good drop of rum!!!
