Distiller Notes
Batiste Rhum is the first singled-sourced, unblended rhum agricole to be imported in bulk and finished in the United States. Rhum Agricole is traditionally a product of the French Caribbean, defined by its production location and methods: its terroir. Batiste Rhum represents an evolution in this type of rhum by sourcing the best rhum from the French Caribbean and using California innovation to produce a light, clean, and versatile cocktail rum.
Crisp and clean with tropical aromas, Batiste Silver displays hints of citrus and grass with a dry, smooth finish. The light and clean nature of this rhum means it mixes beautifully with fresh fruit juices, tonics, soda waters, or even kombuchas, while still making the best daiquiri (or martini) you’ve ever had.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
