Introduction

Rum Nation’s Reunion 7-year-old Rhum Agricole represents the authentic terroir-driven tradition of the Indian Ocean, offering a sophisticated alternative to Caribbean rum styles with its distinctive character and elegant complexity.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Fresh-pressed sugar cane juice (not molasses) grown in the volcanic soils of Reunion Island
• Distillation process: Crafted at the legendary Savanna distillery using traditional column stills for a cleaner, more aromatic distillate
• Maturation: Aged for 7 years in tropical conditions, primarily in ex-bourbon oak casks which accelerates maturation
• Special techniques: Rhum Agricole designation indicates production directly from sugar cane juice rather than molasses, preserving the natural terroir of Reunion’s volcanic soil

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Well-balanced sweetness with layers of exotic fruits, caramelized sugar, gentle spices, and a distinctive mineral quality from the volcanic terroir
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of oak, dried fruits, and a pleasant vegetal character unique to agricole rums

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Slightly cool, around 18-21°C (64-70°F)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped whisky glass or specialized rum tasting glass
