Rhum Bologne Blanc is Guadeloupean rhum agricole in its purest form — unaged, bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof) in 1L, straight from the still at Distillerie Bologne in Basse-Terre. It’s distilled from 100% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice (never molasses) in a traditional Creole column still, the low-temperature copper distillation preserving the raw cane character. It’s available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Cane Juice, Copper, and Nothing Else
White agricole is the rum world’s answer to blanco tequila: nothing added, nothing taken away, the distillate exactly as it left the still. Bologne ferments and distills fresh cane juice — the estate grows black cane found almost nowhere else in Guadeloupe — in a traditional Creole column still run cool to keep the grassy, floral cane aromatics intact. Retailer Sip Whiskey describes it in terms of fresh-cut cane, lime peel and green herbs on the nose, bright citrus, white pepper and earthy minerality on the palate, and a clean, dry, bracingly crisp finish (third-party notes).

How to Enjoy
The classic Ti’ Punch: a coin of lime, a barspoon of cane syrup, and Blanc over ice — or neat to taste the cane at full strength. It also brings agricole funk to a daiquiri.
