A Fresh Detail｜ Other Products ｜Holmes Cay Reunion Island Agricole Rum

Memphis Rum Club called this possibly their new favorite rhum agricole — and Esquire highlighted it among the best rums to drink right now. Réunion is a French island in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, and Distillerie de Savanna is its legendary distillery, a cult name among collectors whose rums had never been sold in the US until Holmes Cay — Eric Kaye's New York independent bottler, founded in 2019 on single-cask, additive-free transparency — brought over two unaged whites as Single Origin Editions No. 2 and 3. The Agricole is fresh cane juice, distilled on Savanna's Savalle copper column still, and bottled in New York State unaged at 50% ABV with no sugar, color, or flavoring. Memphis Rum Club found sharp fresh-cut cane, sliced Roma tomato, mixed greens, cilantro, and salt-and-vinegar chips, then green bell pepper, cane, white-wine vinegar, salted green beans, and okra, finishing savory with serrano pepper — heft and savory, vegetal qualities as unique as they are tasty. Drinkhacker: the fun agricole funk hits the moment you open it, fresh petrol, green grass, and briny green olive, with a tarry, guttural bite. Paste: a weird one, huge olive on the nose. Holmes Cay's notes: green pepper and olive, new grass and brine, fresh cane sweetness on the finish. Honest note: this is wild, savory, olive-and-pepper cane spirit for agricole devotees. For a Ti' Punch or Daiquiri like no other, or neat for the curious. Réunion, at last.Buy Holmes Cay Reunion Island Agricole Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
