Saint Rhum is a small batch rhum agricole distilled from fresh pressed sugarcane grown on Marie Galante, the limestone rich island off Guadeloupe long celebrated for its agricole tradition. Bottled at 47 percent ABV, it is produced from estate harvested cane that is crushed within hours of cutting to preserve aromatic freshness. Fermentation and distillation take place using traditional column techniques designed to capture the full grassy, mineral driven character of the raw juice. Only cane juice, yeast and water are used, with no added sugar, color or flavoring, allowing the spirit to reflect its origin with clarity and precision. The nose is vivid and expressive, showing fresh cane, green herbs and citrus zest layered over subtle pepper and saline notes. On the palate it is bright and structured, with natural cane sweetness balanced by grassy freshness, light tropical fruit and a clean mineral edge that speaks to Marie Galante’s terroir. The finish is long and warming, carrying herbal lift and citrus peel with lingering spice. Recognized with Double Gold and awarded 98 points at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Saint Rhum stands out for its purity and intensity. It is equally compelling sipped neat or prepared in a classic ti punch, where its vibrant cane character takes center stage.

Créole Shrubb bursts with aromas and flavors reminiscent of Martinique. A staple of Caribbean culture, Créole Shrubb is the “secret ingredient” frequently used by celebrity chefs and creative mixologists around the world. Drinkhacker rates it an A- saying, "Creole Shrubb is Martinique’s answer to triple sec, a 'blend of the finest white and aged agricole rhums, married with macerated Créole spices and sun-bleached bitter orange peels.' ... Hefty notes of mandarin orange percolate the nose, with the slightest hint of lime leaf. The palate however comes across as less sweet than expected, a bit grassy with ample mandarin character — and a slightly buttery, vanilla-dusted note on the finish. It’s certainly a versatile liqueur, one to check out if you want less of a blunt orange impact and more pastoral nuance." (CN, 6-2020)

The first nosings find aromas of synthetic cotton; later sniffings pick up vegetal scents of peas and asparagus with a background note of wax floor polish.
