Description:

Agricole rum has its roots in the French Caribbean islands, particularly Martinique, where sugarcane was first introduced in the 17th century. Initially, it was a local drink, but its popularity grew in the 19th century, especially after the phylloxera epidemic devastated French vineyards, creating a demand for alternative spirits.

Agricole rum is often praised for its distinctive TERROIR, meaning the way the local environment (soil, climate, sugarcane variety) influences its flavor. It's seen as a more NATURAL and expressive rum, capturing the essence of the sugarcane. Enthusiasts appreciate its complexity and the way it reflects its origins.

Think fresh-cut grass, green herbs (like basil or cilantro), olive brine, white pepper, and tropical fruits like banana and pineapple. Some may even have a slight smoky note. The overall impression is often vegetal, earthy, and vibrant.

The nose can be quite pungent, with strong grassy and herbal aromas, sometimes reminiscent of freshly tilled soil. You might also find hints of citrus peel and floral notes.
