Distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane in the French Caribbean. Three ingredients. Zero additives.

Rhum agricole

Untouched by anything artificial. Rich with sugarcane flavor. We call it saint as an ode to purity. Pure cane. Pure island. Pure of spirit.

Most rum is made from molasses. Ours is distilled from hand-harvested, fresh-pressed sugarcane in copper creole column stills, the traditional French way, on one of the world's last remaining meccas of rhum agricole.

Questions about rhum agricole

What is rhum agricole?

Rhum agricole is rum distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice instead of molasses, which is what most rum is made from. It is a French Caribbean tradition, and it tastes brighter and grassier than molasses rum.

How is Saint Rhum made?

Our cane is cut by hand on Marie-Galante and pressed within 24 hours. The juice ferments slowly for 72 hours with only yeast and water, then is distilled in a copper creole column still, rested in stainless steel foudres and brought to 47% ABV. Each batch is bottled within two weeks of harvest.

Does Saint Rhum contain additives?

No. Saint Rhum has three ingredients: fresh sugarcane, yeast and water. There is no added sugar, no spices and no artificial flavors.

What does Saint Rhum taste like?

Fresh-cut cane, grass and green banana on the nose, with lime zest and white pepper. The palate is bright and grassy with citrus and a wet-stone minerality, and the finish is long, peppery and slightly saline.

How do you drink rhum agricole?

The classic is a Ti' Punch: 2 oz Saint Rhum, a squeezed lime wheel and 1 tbsp of honey or raw sugar. It is also excellent in a Daiquiri, a Mojito or our signature Après-Sea. See all our cocktail recipes.
