Dugas La Maison du Rhum Discovery Rhum Blanc Antilles Françaises

This Discovery white sits in Dugas's La Maison du Rhum range, a French series designed to introduce drinkers to rums from across the world. Labelled as a rhum blanc from the French Antilles, it captures the bright, unaged character of cane spirit before any wood gets involved.

Distilled on a column still and bottled at 45%, it shows the savoury, vegetal signature of French island whites, with olive and fresh sugar cane sitting alongside floral notes and a hint of peach. The palate is oily and a touch waxy, vegetal and faintly briny, with a fresh, floral, cane led finish. It is light bodied but the strength gives it presence and grip. Best served well chilled or built into a ti punch or daiquiri, it is a clean, characterful white for those who appreciate the grassy, mineral side of cane juice spirit.
