saint benevolence Agricole haiti , 70cl

St Aubin Rhum Agricole comes from Mauritius, and is made by distilling fresh sugar cane juice in the French method. St Aubin itself has been in the business of sugar production since 1819, and started to distil it quite recently. This particular spirit is unaged and clean, crisp and tangy.

A top-quality white agricole rum, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice on Martinique by one of the island's very greatest producers. Superb in ti'punch and daiquiris.

This gem of an Agricole rum has been made in Martinique and aged for three years in small oak casks. The appearance is a dark mahogany colour with a regal presence. The aromas are heady and give a mysterious aroma, what do you smell? On the palate it is fresh stoned fruit like plums, dried fruit and almonds.

Trois Rivieres hides a lot of flavour in its crystal clear body. Punchy and awash with tangy notes, it is still smooth and is a great alternative choice for your classic Mojito or Daiquiri. Fresh peaches, plums and pears come through in the nose and its high ABV means once you sip you get the full depth of flavour in a single sucker punch. Despite its punchiness there is elegance to this rum and citrus and grassy notes come through to support the strength.

Five Indian botanicals including cardamom, clove, cassia, coriander seed and ginger are re-distilled into the rum and no sugar is added for a drier and authentically spiced rum.

Another exceptional rum from one of Mauritius’ finest producers Green Island, Green Island Light is a highly drinkable and wonderfully subtle offering. Grassy and herbaceous on the nose, hints of pepper and sweet honey also come through tempting you to taste it. The flavour is surprisingly creamy for a white rum and has distinct notes of exotic coconut, bitter cocoa and golden syrup, as well as sharp lime and black pepper. It’s this final note than lingers once the drink is done.
