Only 750 bottles of this pearl exist, double distilled several days apart after a long fermentation, and bottled with no reduction at all at its natural strength.

Expert Description

A1710 La Perle 2021 Rhum Blanc Extraordinaire is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled unaged at its natural strength of 54.5%.

La Perle comes from the same small distillery as Diamond Rock, but differs through a longer fermentation process of 5 to 7 days, giving a more complex distillate. The sugar cane juice, called vesou, is double distilled several days apart and bottled with no reduction, preserving the distillate's natural strength and every nuance from the long fermentation. Only 750 bottles of this limited release were drawn in 2021.

The result is a gentle, unctuous rhum with remarkable depth for an unaged white rum.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Floral and fruity with freshly pressed cane juice, developing towards spiced tones, lychee and guava.

Palate

Soft and unctuous with lime, sugar cane and pear, supported by a balanced iodine note.

Finish

Named in honour of Paul Octave, the farmer whose sugar cane field is used for this cuvée, La Perle Brute is distilled on the "La Belle Aline" column and bottled with no reduction at all, at a massive 66%.

Expert Description

A1710 La Perle Brute 2021 Rhum Blanc Extraordinaire is a Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from pure sugar cane juice from a selected field parcel and bottled unaged with no reduction at 66%.

The rum is distilled on the copper still "La Belle Aline" with seven plates, with no reduction of the final strength, giving both a raw and refined experience. The cuvée honours Paul Octave, the farmer behind the specific sugar cane parcel used for this release, reflecting A1710's wish to highlight its close collaboration with Martinique's cane growers. The long fermentation process of 5 days significantly increases the distillate's aromatic richness.

The result is an intense, powerful white rhum, where the high strength reveals layers of spiced fruitiness beneath the fresh cane character.

Known for its award-winning London whisky, Bimber distillery uses both pot and column stills to create an unaged rum with equal parts spiced sharpness and creamy balance.

Expert Description

Bimber London White Rum is an England Rum, a single blended spirit made on both pot and column stills and bottled unaged at 40%.

Bimber Distillery, founded in 2015 in west London, is primarily known for its single malt whisky, but has expanded its repertoire with this rum release. The rum is blended from distillates produced on both traditional pot stills and more modern column stills, giving a complex, flavourful profile that is unusual for an unaged rum bottled in a city like London.

The result is a crystal-clear, aromatic rum with pronounced spiciness and a surprisingly creamy, buttery character.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh grassy top notes and cracked black pepper, accompanied by caramel, toffee and a hint of chocolate raisin.

Palate

Clean and smooth with a light sweetness of dark Muscovado sugar, plus lime sorbet, white chocolate and a touch of spice.

A dark name for an entirely clear rum - Black Tears Super Dry goes the opposite way from the brand's darker releases and stays light and dry.

Expert Description

Black Tears Super Dry is a white Cuba Rum, bottled at 40%.

Super Dry is Black Tears' clear, dry release, markedly different from the brand's better-known dark and spiced rums. The style is intended as a versatile, clean white rum suited to cocktails where a light, dry base is preferred over a sweeter, darker character. Black Tears is a Cuban brand that has built its name around more characterful, dark rum releases, making Super Dry a deliberate contrast in the range.

Cuba is known for a lighter, drier rum style compared to many of the heavier Caribbean traditions, and Super Dry is a clear example of this Cuban approach.

Light sugarcane and a hint of citrus.

Mauritius is better known for its sugarcane fields than its rum exports. This bottle shows why that should change.

Expert description

Bristol Classic Finest Mauritius Cane Juice Rhum is a Rhum Agricole from Mauritius, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and bottled unaged at 43%.

The rum is distilled at La Bourdonnais Estate on the north of Mauritius and released by the English bottler Bristol Classic Rum, known for sourcing single-distillery rum from around the world. Because it is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses and remains unaged, the style is vivid and clean, with a vegetal character sitting somewhere between classic agricole rum and smoky mezcal, rather than the more fruity, aromatic agricole rums often found from the Caribbean.

Tasting notes

Nose

Green apples, lemon, grass and white pepper, with muscovado sugar, new leather and dried apple slices.

Palate

Light and vegetal, with cooked cane juice, mild spice and a touch of leather.

First harvest, first pressing, first bottle. Première Canne is Clément in its most unprocessed form, a white rum that lets the sugar cane speak, without a single cask allowed to interfere.

Expert Description

Clément Première Canne is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled at 40%.

The rum is distilled at the Fonds-Préville distillery, while ageing and bottling take place at the historic Habitation Clément in Le François. After distillation the rum rests for nine months in stainless steel before being brought down to drinking strength with volcanic spring water from Martinique's mountains and bottled without cask ageing.

The name Première Canne, "first sugar cane", refers to the fresh, unprocessed style, where the soft floral notes and green, herbal character of the freshly harvested cane juice stand out clearly.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Soft fruit blossoms, yellow apple and citrus, complemented by greengage plum, herbal and fresh notes.

Palate

Cocoa bean, bittersweet chocolate and black tea meet fresh grass and beans, closing on a graceful, lightly caramelised finish.

Finish

Clean and lightly salty, reminiscent of manzanilla sherry or buttered popcorn.

A single cane variety, grown for its own sake. Canne Bleue is Clément's tribute to a cane variety that's harder to grow, but that delivers a far more intense rum in return.

Expert Description

Clément Rhum Agricole Blanc Canne Bleue is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled exclusively from the blue cane variety and bottled at 50%.

Canne Bleue, or "blue cane", is an older and less widely grown variety than the more common cane typically used in rhum agricole. The variety is known for a lower yield and for being more sensitive to weather conditions, but in return it delivers a markedly more intense and aromatic juice. Clément has chosen to bottle this edition uncut at 50%, a higher strength than the house's standard Blanc, precisely to let the cane variety's full character shine through.

The result is a rum that's even sharper and more mineral than the classic Rhum Blanc Agricole, with an intensity that demands respect.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Exotic fruit mixed with orange blossom, softened by light honey, along with pink pepper, green apples and fresh cane juice.

Palate

Lively, dry and powerful with lime, herbs, white pepper and mineral freshness, supported by meringue and cucumber.

Finish

Long and clearly structured, with earthy and herbal nuances and a tingling pepper.

No barrels, no waiting. Clément Blanc Agricole goes from cane field to bottle in under a day, preserving a raw, green freshness that few rum styles can match.

Expert Description

Clément Rhum Blanc Agricole is a Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc distilled from fresh cane juice and bottled at 40%.

The rum is produced at the Habitation Clément distillery in Le François, Martinique, one of the island's oldest and most respected distilleries, founded in 1887 by Homère Clément. The cane is harvested and pressed the same day, after which the juice is fermented and column-distilled within hours, a method at the heart of the AOC Martinique classification. The rum rests briefly in steel tanks after distillation, with no cask ageing, so the green, herbal character of the cane is preserved intact.

This unaged style is the backbone of the classic Ti' Punch and is used across Martinique as an everyday drink.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh and green with pronounced cane juice, lemongrass and a hint of white pepper.

Palate

Clean and sharp with green cane, lime and a mineral, slightly saline undertone.

White rum rarely gets to boast an age statement. Facundo Neo breaks the pattern with up to eight years of maturation hidden behind a perfectly clear colour.

Expert description

Facundo Neo Silver is a White Rum from the Bahamas, matured up to 8 years in American oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum is part of the Facundo collection, Bacardi's luxurious tribute to founder Facundo Bacardí, where each expression is hand-blended and filled into hand-numbered crystal decanters. Neo Silver matures for up to eight years in the Bahamas, before being shipped to Tultitlán in Mexico to be blended and bottled. The colour is subsequently removed by activated charcoal filtration, without stripping away the nuances the maturation has added, resulting in a white rum with unusual depth and complexity.

Tasting notes

Nose

Big and punchy with green banana, vanilla and demerara sugar, plus a hint of almond and florals.

The name means "plenipotentiary", a title Velier gave this edition to signal that it was given free rein to represent Foursquare's full stylistic range in a single bottle.

Expert Description

Foursquare Plenipotenziario 12 Year is a Barbados Rum, a Single Blended Rum aged 12 years in ex-bourbon casks in the tropics and bottled at 60%.

The rum comes from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados under Richard Seale's leadership and was created in collaboration with the Italian rum enthusiast Luca Gargano of Velier. The term "Single Blended Rum" refers to the rum being a blend of batch and continuously distilled rum from the same distillery, a style unique to Foursquare and distinct from both pure single cask and multi-distillery blends. The 12 years of ageing in Barbados' tropical climate have given the rum significant intensity and depth.

At the high strength of 60%, the rum's full complexity appears without dilution, where both sweetness and spice come through strongly.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla, caramel and coconut flesh, with ripe mango, milk chocolate and a hint of sea salt and tobacco.

From double-distilled cane juice in Ghana to European oak casks. Ghana Arc is one of RomDeLuxe's most unusual releases, both for its origin and for its maturation journey.

Expert Description

RomDeLuxe Limited Batch Series No. 1 Ghana Arc is a Ghana Rum distilled from pure cane juice, aged on new American oak casks in Europe and bottled at 60.3%.

The rum comes from Ghana, an unusual origin in the rum world, where it's double-distilled in traditional stills from pure cane juice rather than molasses. After distillation, the rum was shipped to Europe, where it aged entirely in new American oak casks, a maturation path markedly different from the tropical ageing most Caribbean rum undergoes. The release is limited to 188 bottles from this single batch.

The result is a lively, complex rum where the estery, agricole-like freshness of the cane juice meets a distinct, young oak character from the new casks.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh, light wood and ester, with light caramel, fruitiness and a touch of nuts and clove.

Palate

Warm, oaky and lightly roasted, with ester, fruitiness, a hint of smoke, salt and liquorice.

No cask ageing, no colour, no detours – just fresh sugarcane juice distilled and bottled almost immediately.

Expert description

Habitation St. Etienne Martinique Rhum Agricole Blanc is an AOC Martinique Rhum Agricole, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and bottled at 40% with no prior cask ageing.

Because Martinique's AOC rules allow rhum agricole to be sold immediately after distillation with no minimum ageing requirement, the Blanc expression retains the full fresh, green cane character that is otherwise gradually softened by years of cask influence in the house's other releases such as VSOP and XO. This makes it the purest, most direct introduction to what rhum agricole from Martinique actually tastes like.

Tasting notes

An explosion of fresh aromas with dominant notes of fresh sugarcane and a light floral touch, complemented by tropical fruit, mashed banana and hibiscus.

This white rhum agricole from HSE, whose full name is Habitation Saint-Étienne, shows the distillate's pure character with no cask influence at all.

The result is a clear, powerful rhum that shows Martinique's agricole tradition in its purest form.

Not a single cask is involved here. Only a long, wild fermentation in the humid heat of Trelawny, a copper pot still, and a spirit that goes into the bottle without a drop of colouring. Open it and the aroma has filled the room before the glass is poured.

The expert's description

Hampden Estate Rum Fire Jamaican White Overproof Rum 70 cl 63% is an unaged Jamaican White Overproof Rum distilled from molasses in a pot still and bottled at 63%.

Hampden Estate sits in Trelawny on the north coast of Jamaica, a short way from Falmouth, and rum has been made on the estate since 1753. The distillery is known for its high ester style, meaning the aroma compounds that give Jamaican rum its penetrating character of overripe fruit and varnish. Fermentation runs for weeks rather than days, it is started by wild yeast instead of a cultured strain, and it is fed with dunder and acidified organic matter from the estate's own pits.

Rum Fire is the distillery's unaged bottling and the most direct route into that character. It is clear because it has never seen the inside of a cask, and nothing has been added, neither sugar nor colouring. The 63% is not a stunt but the strength the style asks for, carrying the aromatics all the way through a drink instead of drowning in ice and lime.

Behind a bar it is a tool. A Daiquiri built on Rum Fire tastes nothing like one built on a light white rum: pineapple, banana and a saline edge, and it stays put. A small measure goes a long way.

Tasting notes

Nose

Overripe banana and pineapple arrive at once, closely followed by something like varnish and freshly cut timber. Underneath sits a saline note, close to olives in brine.

Palate

Oily and huge. Tropical fruit first, then a peppery warmth spreading out, and a mineral, almost chalky base. The alcohol is obvious, yet it carries rather than burns.

Finish

Long and warm with the fruit hanging on. A dry, salty tone closes it out and keeps reminding you where it came from.

Hampden Estate still keeps its muck pits alive, trenches of acidified organic matter drawn on to feed the fermentation. It is a nineteenth century technique that almost every other distillery abandoned long ago, and it is a large part of why the rum from here smells so much louder than anything else.

Six hours by car from Oaxaca City, high in a cloud-covered mountain forest, the sugar cane for Paranubes is grown without pesticides and carried out by burro. This is rum from a place most rum never comes close to.

Expert Description

Paranubes Oaxaca is a Mexican Rum distilled from fresh sugar cane juice and bottled at 54%.

The rum is produced in the Sierra Mazateca mountains of northern Oaxaca by third-generation master distiller Jose Luis Carrera, who grows his own sugar cane without artificial fertiliser or pesticides. The juice is freshly pressed and wild fermented in pine vats before being distilled on a copper column still fired by spent cane fibre. The rum is distilled to proof, nothing added or removed.

The style sits somewhere between the green, grassy character of rhum agricole and the more rustic, funky profile of cachaça, making Paranubes a rum that clearly tastes of its place of origin rather than following a fixed international template.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Raw, fresh cane juice explodes out of the glass alongside mint and ripe apricot.

Palate

Silky and sweet with fresh cane juice, green olive and wild herbs, complemented by freshly baked cornbread and dried figs.

Finish

Fruity with banana and pineapple, where a hint of chili appears when paired with lime.

Three Caribbean "stars" meet in one glass – Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad each contribute their character to this versatile, clear rum.

Expert Description

Planteray 3 Stars is a Blended Rum from Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad, carbon filtered and bottled at 41.7%.

Each island contributes its distinct character to the blend – from the lighter, refined Trinidadian style to the funkier, full-bodied Jamaican rum.
