Labourdonnais Héritage

Labourdonnais Heritage is an agricole-style rhum from Labourdonnais, a Mauritian estate distilling from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice rather than molasses. Mauritius sits outside the French-island AOC, so this is cane juice rhum in spirit rather than under that legal term.

Bottled at 44%, it draws on the grassy, vegetal character that comes from working with fresh cane juice. Agricole-style rhum of this kind typically shows fresh cane sap, herbaceous green notes and a dry, peppery edge rather than the sweetness of molasses rum. With age and cask detail unconfirmed on the record, it is best read as a straightforward expression of Mauritian cane juice distilling.
