Saint James Rhum Blanc Pure Canne Biologique 2020

This Saint James Rhum Blanc Pure Canne Biologique is a Martinique rhum agricole made from organically grown, fresh pressed sugar cane juice. Saint James, distilling since 1765 and among the island's largest houses, has bottled this organic white unaged at a robust 56.5%, a strength that suits the rested blanc tradition and gives the rum the backbone for cocktails.

Distilled low on a creole column to preserve the grassy cane congeners, it is dry and fresh from start to finish: vegetal and herbaceous notes, floral lift and citrus over pure, expressive sugarcane, with a peppery edge on the finish. The organic cane and unsweetened profile keep it clean and honest, the alcohol well carried despite the strength. This is a classic, full powered Martinique white, at its best in a Ti' Punch where its fresh cane character leads, and a strong value pick for everyday agricole drinking.
