Today the Martinique rhum agricole (a term for rum, produced from sugar cane juice) is the only one in the rhum category with the AOC designation. AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrle) is the French variant of certification for geographically protected wine, spirit, and food, which ensures the quality, authenticity, and character of the rhum. After the sugar cane is harvested, it’s taken to the mills in order to extract the juice. After filtration, the juice is fermented and distilled. Both unaged “Blanc” and aged “Old” expressions are produced, the latter employing barrels that used to hold bourbon, cognac, sherry, and whiskey. The HSE Rhum Agricole Tres Vieux VSOP is crafted with 100% sugarcane juice before being meticulously aged in French oak and bourbon casks until perfection. It flirts with well-aged bourbon territory while bringing Creole flavors, spice, and candied fruit to the table. Bottled at 90 proof, this expression has garnered several awards.
