Best Rums for Rhum Arrangé

Rhum arrangé is rum macerated with fruit, spices and sugar, a tradition from Réunion and the French Caribbean. The best base is a clean, affordable white or agricole rum at 40 to 50% with enough character to shine through the fruit. These are the community's favourite bases to make your own.

Rums in this list

  1. Best for: Ti Punch fans and people who like fresh, fruity agricole

    A go-to fruity Martinique blanc for Ti Punch that most rate highly. Neat it's pleasant but not a revelation, and the finish divides — a couple find it overripe.

  2. Best for: Ti'punch makers and fans of fresh white agricole

    Most tasters like this fresh, floral single-vintage blanc, especially for ti'punch. A few feel the fruit on the nose doesn't fully carry into the taste.

  3. Best for: Agricole fans who like spicy, floral white rum and Ti Punch

    A well-liked white agricole — spicy, floral and citrusy, round for its strength. A minority find the floral side too dominant, but most rate it a top blanc for Ti Punch.

  4. Best for: Ti Punch drinkers and agricole newcomers wanting fresh cane and citrus

    A go-to Martinique blanc: fresh cane, citrus and pepper, unusually easy for 55%. Most love it in a Ti Punch; neat it turns a touch sharp and alcoholic for some.

  5. Best for: Ti Punch drinkers and agricole fans who like fresh cane

    Loved as a Ti Punch base — bright cane, citrus and a lingering minty streak. Neat it's fresh and clean but, as a few noted, not especially memorable.

  6. Best for: Anyone wanting an easy, clean white agricole for ti-punch or sipping

    Widely liked as a clean, rounded blanc — grassy cane, lime and a honeyed sweetness that goes down easily. The trade-off most note: gentle and drinkable but short on complexity.

  7. Best for: People who make ti-punch and rhum arrangé

    A reliable everyday Guadeloupe blanc most people reach for in ti-punch or rhum arrangé. Sweet, cane-forward and fresh; a couple find the nose a bit industrial, but few complaints for the style.

  8. Best for: Cocktail makers who want an everyday Ti-Punch and Mai Tai base

    Split verdict: as a neat pour many call it aggressive and overly alcoholic, but it earns real love as a Ti-Punch and cocktail base. A mixing bottle, not a sipping one.

  9. Best for: People making ti punch, cocktails or rhums arrangés

    Solid mixing and infusion white. Grassy and fruity, but the 49% shows hot on the palate, so most drink it in ti punch, cocktails or rhums arrangés rather than neat.
