ReimonenQ J.R Lime

ReimonenQ is a family agricole distillery in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, working from fresh cane juice on a creole column still. This J.R Lime is a flavoured arrange, steeping lime into that base, and is best understood as a sweet citrus infusion rather than a straight agricole.

Lime leads throughout, fruity and bright on the nose with a sweet, citrus-driven palate and finish. The cane-juice base sits quietly beneath the fruit and added sugar. At just 17% it is very light, closer to a lime cordial than a sipping rum, soft and openly sweet. This is a cheerful, low-proof citrus pour for chilled sipping or a splash into a long drink, honest about being a sweetened lime maceration. Anyone after the dry, grassy bite of an agricole blanc should look to ReimonenQ's white rather than this gentle, fruit-led arrange.
