Rhum Agricole

Rhum Agricole is unique because, unlike most rums made from molasses, it’s distilled from freshly pressed sugarcane juice.

This gives it a fresh, vegetal, and mineral character with notes of green sugar, citrus, and delicate herbs. It’s an authentic expression of its origin – the terroir – making Rhum Agricole a premium category loved by connoisseurs.

Origin and character of Rhum Agricole

This rum style has its roots in French colonial regions such as Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion, and Haiti. It’s typically distilled in copper stills and aged in oak barrels, gaining subtle complexity and elegant structure.

Every sip of Rhum Agricole reflects its birthplace – the soil, climate, and local craftsmanship.

How to enjoy Rhum Agricole

Thanks to its distinctive flavor, it’s perfect for sipping neat or as a refined base for cocktails where its fresh and earthy character stands out.

Aged expressions (like VO, VSOP, XO) reveal complex notes of caramel, wood, and tropical fruit, while younger types feel lighter and more vibrant.
