Whether for tasting or preparing the traditional ti-punch, Saint-James Fleur de Canne offers a rich palette of aromas.
This white agricultural rum is made from sugar cane cut during the dry season, concentrating the aromas of Martinique's terroir and sunshine.
The quality of this rum won it a silver medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris in 2013. That same year, Saint-James Fleur de Canne won a gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose of this white rum opens with round, sweet cane. The cane is also slightly peppery, and the controlled alcohol effluvia give it a light, floral quality. Highly perfumed, the rum leaves a few reminders of the fermentation stage. Freshness is still the order of the day, and the pepper is also fragrant, vegetal like these colorful berry blends. The sweet cane is still there, and the rum seems silky and restrained.
With a little aeration, the pepper's spiciness rises to the surface, along with a slight bitterness of lime zest. There's also a hint of iodine. After this more expressive, relatively drier phase, the rum again emphasizes the delicacy of a supple, mellow cane.
The attack on the palate is rather dry and iodized, with hints of fermentation. This rum does not take the easy way out, retaining its agricultural profile. It then gives off a pleasantly warm, sweet sensation. Yes, that's right, it's really warm on the palate. The cane radiates, supported by pepper and a slight bitterness of citrus peel.
The finish is vegetal, with hints of hay. The rum flies away lightly, leaving a mineral sensation on the tongue.
"The scent of cane combined with a true agricultural character will make this a superb rum for ti-punches..."
