Ferroni La Dame Jeanne 3

Ferroni La Dame Jeanne 3 is a cane-juice rum from Guadeloupe, selected and bottled by Maison Ferroni of Marseille, a house known for cask-strength releases issued without sweetening. Distilled from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice rather than molasses, this sits at the fresh, youthful end of the agricole-style range.

The nose is floral and fresh, the clean aromatic signature of a young blanc, and the palate leans on green fruit with the vegetal snap of cane. There is little oak influence here, the appeal lying in the brightness and directness of the spirit rather than barrel character. Bottled at a brisk 57% with no added sugar, it carries real intensity for its lightness and wants water or a Ti Punch to show best. A straightforward, high-proof island white for drinkers who like their agricole raw and unadorned, where freshness and snap matter more than any layer of wood.
