Ti Arrangés de Ced‘ Ananas Victoria Les Rhums de Ced 2014

Ti Arranges de Ced Ananas Victoria is a rhum arrange, an infused rum made by steeping fruit in a cane juice base, here from a Martinique agricole spirit with real Victoria pineapple. Bottled at a low 32%, it sits firmly in the sweet, fruit liqueur camp rather than the dry agricole tradition.

There is no pretending this is a sipping agricole. It is openly sweet and fruit forward, dominated by candied pineapple with vanilla and tropical fruit over a light, easy finish. The cane base is a vehicle for the fruit rather than the star, and the pineapple itself can be eaten once soaked. Best served chilled, it is an aperitif style treat and an accessible entry point for newcomers, not a dry, vegetal cane spirit for purists.
