Rhum Agricole in the US elongates with top brand from Guadeloupe – Damoiseau introduces a White and Aged Rhum Agricole in the U.S. market

Rhum Damoiseau is the leading producer of Guadeloupe Rhum Agricole. The opposite of industrial rum distilled from molasses, Rhum Agricole begins with the finest selection of sugarcane, which are then pressed to extract the finest and most aromatic fresh sugarcane juice. It is distilled in the traditional way, inspired by the enjoyment of great brandies, particularly by Armagnac of southwestern France. Rhum Agricole is only produced in the spring months of the year during the driest season. The Appellation of Origin guarantees Rhum Damoiseau is crafted and bottled in Guadeloupe, at our distillery. Damoiseau must comply with standard of quality concerning, source and extraction of sugarcane, distillation, and aging.

Following the successful development of Rhum Agricole from Martinique in the United States, the category gets a new player from Guadeloupe. RHUM DAMOISEAU has introduced in select markets VIRGIN CANE RHUM BLANC and V.S.O.P. RHUM VIEUX. Rhum Agricole is the only rum in the world made from specific varieties of sugarcane, resulting in rum that is smooth and enjoyable. It is the choice style of rum for those who appreciate a terroir-driven spirit neat or in cocktails.

DAMOISEAU VIRGIN CANE RUM is exceptional white rum crafted from fresh pressed sugarcane juice, distilled the traditional way to capture the natural aromas and tropical flavors. After some time spent vats to mellow out the rhum, VIRGIN CANE is slowly reduced to bottle proof with the addition of distilled natural spring water, which helps to deliver a silky smooth white rhum loaded with organic character from the terroir and the sugarcane.

DAMOISEAU V.S.O.P. is produced with the greatest respect to the French Caribbean time-honored traditions of Rhum Agricole. It begins with natural rhum distilled from pure aromatic free-run sugarcane juice and aged a minimum of 4 years in re-charred Bourbon casks, which gives this remarkable rum its radiant mahogany color and long smooth finish.
