Agricole Rhum

The way Agricole rum is made is the reason for its special character. This "agricultural" rum is made from sugar cane juice and not from molasses. Thus, it acquires characteristics of grass and a freshness that makes it unique. It is no coincidence that it is referred to as “rhum”, instead of “rum”…

Grassy and herbal elements dominate nose and mouth. Elements of tropical fruit and vanilla are present, but to a lesser extent.

There are two main regions producing Agricole rum, Guadeloupe and Martinique. Although the distillation equipment differs between the two islands, this difference is hardly reflected in the organoleptic characteristics of the final product.

Prefer summertime and enjoy it either over ice or as a base for a cool cocktail. But, since everything is subjective, no one forbids the enjoyment of "agricultural" rum in winter.

Agricole rum is one of the most ideal spirits to accompany sushi. Shellfish and fruit salads also pair nicely with this type of rum. Salads with green vegetables, dried nuts and avocado can also "ally" with Agricole rum. Finally, you'll be surprised to discover how well it goes with high-cocoa chocolate.

A shelf away from sunlight and heat sources is best. Make sure you seal the bottle well after it has been opened.

The simplicity of a low glass with some ice is another dimension of the magic of Agricole rum. Most often, however, it serves as an ingredient in beloved and famous cocktails.

The national drink of Martinique, one of the islands that specialize in Agricole rum production, is the Ti' Punch cocktail. It consists of the aforementioned rum, sugar syrup and lime juice. The ratio is a field of experimentation for those interested. Another case is the famous Caipirinha. It contains Agricole rum, standard white rum, lime juice and mint syrup, in a ratio of 4:4:2:1. Adding a little sugar makes it smoother.
