Tricoche Spirits La Fabrique de l’Arrangé Vanille Noisette

Tricoche Spirits bottles La Fabrique de l'Arrange, a line of flavoured macerations in the French rhum arrange tradition, and this Vanille Noisette pairs vanilla with hazelnut. Built on a cane-juice base distilled on a column still, it is a sweetened, flavoured spirit, not a straight agricole.

The pairing is frankly dessert-like: vanilla on the nose, hazelnut and vanilla together on the palate, and a caramel note on the finish, a soft, nutty, sweet combination that drinks more like a liqueur than a rum. At 32% it is gentle and openly sweet, made for after-dinner sipping or stirring into coffee and cocktails. This is an indulgent, confectionery-leaning arrange, honest about its sweetness, for drinkers who enjoy vanilla and praline flavours. Those seeking dry, grassy cane character will find this a different and sweeter proposition entirely.
