On Ti Dousè Café Vanille

On Ti Douse Cafe Vanille is a flavoured rhum arrange built on an agricole base of fresh sugar cane juice, infused in the French-island tradition with coffee and vanilla. Arrange is the maceration style of the French islands, where fruit, spice and sweetening are steeped in young rum to make a soft, dessert-leaning drink.

At 29.6% this sits firmly in liqueur territory, sweet and gentle, and is honestly enjoyed as an after-dinner pour or over ice rather than mistaken for a dry sipping agricole. The coffee and vanilla billing points to a rounded, mellow character in the glass.
