Saint Rhum Small Batch Rhum Agricole

Saint Rhum Small Batch Rhum Agricole shines when sipped neat or with a single ice cube, allowing its vibrant, grassy notes to fully unfold on the palate, though it also makes an excellent base for tropical cocktails and tiki drinks. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm weather sipping and pairs beautifully with Caribbean cuisine, particularly dishes featuring fresh seafood or tropical fruits that complement its herbaceous character.

Nose: Fresh sugar cane juice leaps from the glass, followed by crisp grass clippings and green banana. Zesty lime peel and white pepper add complexity. A subtle earthiness emerges, reminiscent of olive brine.

Palate: Vibrant and grassy with pronounced sugar cane sweetness. Vegetal notes of bell pepper and cucumber provide depth. Sharp citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit pith cut through. An underlying minerality reminds of wet stones.

Finish: Long and warming, with persistent sugar cane sweetness balanced by peppery spice. Green herbs linger alongside a subtle saltiness. The finish leaves a clean, slightly drying sensation on the palate.

Saint Rhum Small Batch Rhum Agricole is crafted on the tiny island of Marie-Galante in Guadeloupe, using fresh-pressed sugar cane juice that's fermented and distilled within 24 hours of harvest. This rapid process, combined with distillation in a unique copper Creole column still, preserves the vibrant, grassy flavors of the sugar cane and results in a lively, herbaceous rhum bottled at a robust 47% ABV.

• Saint Rhum is made on Marie-Galante, an island so small it's often left off maps of Guadeloupe. Despite its size, it boasts the highest concentration of windmills per square mile in the world, a testament to its rich sugar-producing history.
• The distillery uses a unique Creole column still, a hybrid between pot and column stills, which allows for a more flavorful spirit while maintaining efficiency. This rare still type is found almost exclusively in the French West Indies.
• Saint Rhum's production adheres to a strict 24-hour rule: the sugar cane must be pressed, fermented, and distilled within a single day of harvest. This rapid process preserves the vibrant, grassy flavors that make rhum agricole so distinctive.
