Ferroni La Dame Jeanne

Ferroni, the Marseille-based French house known for cask-strength bottlings, put out this La Dame Jeanne from Mauritius, made from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice. As an Indian Ocean rum it sits outside the French legal term and is best described as agricole-style, a high-strength white that leans into a tight, aromatic profile rather than broad complexity.

Released at 57% with sweetening undisclosed, it shows a fresh, minty nose, a palate of mint and violet, and an overall character defined by that cool, floral lift rather than heavy cane or oak. The narrow but distinctive profile makes it more of a focused curiosity than an all-rounder, the kind of white that stakes everything on a clear menthol-and-violet signature. Best appreciated neat or with a little water by drinkers who enjoy precise, high-toned cane spirit, and capable in a Ti' Punch where its freshness can shine.
