As an agricole, this rum is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving it a fundamentally different character. Rhum Superieur in Martinique follows the traditional methods that define this style — the grassy, herbaceous notes are a direct expression of the cane and the terroir.
On the nose, expect vegetal cane juice, tropical fruit, damp earth, white pepper, wild herbs. The palate delivers herbaceous and dry with fresh cane juice, grassy notes, white pepper, mineral character, and citrus brightness. The finish is clean finish with vegetal character, citrus, and grassy dryness.
The classic Ti Punch is the essential serve — a measure of agricole, a disc of fresh lime, and a touch of cane syrup. No ice, no fuss. This format showcases the grassy, herbaceous character beautifully. It also makes an exceptional Daiquiri variant.
Rhum Superieur / Martinique / Bot.1970s / Litre is an impressive achievement from Rhum Superieur. At £150.00, it delivers complexity and quality that many more expensive rums struggle to match.
