Ti Arrangés de Ced‘ Ti’Original Ti’Spicy Les Rhums de Ced

This Ti'Original Ti'Spicy from Ti Arranges de Ced goes the savoury route, taking a Guadeloupe rhum agricole base and steeping it toward heat and herbs instead of vanilla or fruit. The foundation is fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice distilled on a column still in the French-island manner, which keeps a green, vegetal snap underneath the added spice.

The nose is herbal with a distinct cured-pepperoni edge, and the palate follows with chili warmth, more pepperoni and a sharp, peppery bite at 45%. This is a polarising arrangé: where the maker's sweeter macerations aim at dessert, this one is dry-leaning, spicy and unusual, closer to a savoury infusion than a smooth sipper. Worth approaching as a curiosity for those who like heat and a vegetal agricole character rather than as a soft, sweetened pour.
