S.A USINE DU MARIN Braud & Quennesson Rhum Blanc Agricole 2022

This Braud and Quennesson Rhum Blanc Agricole is a Martinique white distilled from fresh pressed sugar cane juice, made at Distillerie du Simon and bottled at a robust 55%. Bottled by S.A Usine du Marin from the 2022 vintage, it sits squarely in the classic unaged blanc tradition, the rested white that defines the island's everyday agricole and the foundation of its cocktail culture.

Distilled low on a creole column to retain the grassy cane congeners, it is all freshness and snap: fresh sugarcane sap, limey citrus, white floral notes and a peppery, earthy bite, dry from start to finish with no added sugar. The strength gives it the backbone to cut through lime and cane syrup, which is exactly where it belongs. Drinkers who reach for Depaz or Bally blancs at 55% will recognise the style, a dependable, full powered Ti' Punch white at sensible money.
