For curious explorers into agricole, this 50% white HSE is fresh, fruity and sugarcane‑driven. Members praise its round, oily texture and citrus‑vegetal notes, ideal neat or in high‑end Ti’ Punchs.

  • Fresh sugarcane
  • Complex for blanc
  • Great for Ti’ Punch

Ein sehr schöner Rhum Agricole. Sehr komplexe Struktur. Die lange Ruhezeit hat ihm gut getan. Für einen Ti Punch eigentlich zu schade. Dieser Rhum ist für den puren Genuß gemacht🥃. Wer noch eine Flasche ergattern kann, sollte zugreifen. Meine Empfehlung 👍.

Typiquement le genre de rhum blanc que j'affectionne!! Un nez ultra fruité avec la gourmandise de la canne à sucre suivie d'une fraîcheur végétale. La bouche ne fait qu'élever le niveau de ce jus. Du sucre plein la bouche et toujours cette canne mêlée au citron vert et au fruits tropicaux avec un petit piment/poivre végétal pour relevé le tout. Wouaaah qu'est-ce que c'est bon! Ce rhum pur est un ti-punch préparé à la perfection.

Très rond et doux. Plus facile que Neisson bio par exemple.
