Trois Rivières Single Cask 2001

Trois Rivieres traces its estate to 1660 and has made rum for well over a century, now distilled at the La Mauny site in southern Martinique. This single cask is a 2001 vintage with 11 years of tropical ageing, distilled from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice on a column still in the island's AOC tradition and bottled unsweetened at cask strength.

Eleven years at origin draw the grassy cane core into a fruity, floral and earthy profile with roasted notes, closing on a vegetal, barrel-touched finish that keeps the agricole character intact. Bottled at a full 49.3% as a single cask with nothing added, it shows the dry, structured side of aged Martinique rum, where proof and oak frame the cane rather than sweetness softening it. A characterful, undiluted vieux for drinkers who want their agricole aged but still recognisably grassy and dry.
