Distiller Notes
This Agricole Blanc clocking in at 40 percent alcohol by volume is distilled from pure, fresh sugarcane juice.
The nose is of beautifully matured sugar cane, which gives way to gourmet aromas of lemon and clementine. The first taste is supple and sweet, opening to a beautiful floral notes, subtly enhanced by exotic fruit.
The characteristic roundness and aromatic intensity make it an excellent choice for cocktails, long drinks, and of course, punch.

Clear in the glass, look for a grassy, slightly funky scent and a silky palate that echoes that grassy, almost floral note. The finish is gentle but long, exiting with ginger and cinnamon sparks and a mouthwatering hint of banana.

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.
