St. George Spirits California Agricole Rum uses sugarcane sourced from California’s Imperial Valley, which is immediately shipped to the distillery for pressing. Distillation is done in a 500-liter copper pot-still, which differs from real column-distilled rhum agricole made in Martinique. It’s bottled unaged at 43%.

Tasting Notes

"This rum sparkles in the glass. The nose is intense, leaving no doubt this is an earthy, agricole-style rum. Unlike traditional rhum agricole, it has a strong olive scent, similar to the Hamilton Jamaican Gold rum. Nose it long enough and freshly-cut pear peeks its head out. The olive note remains at the forefront of the first sip, but better integrated with other vegetal flavors. The mouthfeel is lush and slightly oily, pointing to pot distillation. At 43% ABV, it’s a bit rough, but it’s not intended as a sipping rum. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but the California Agricole is a bold, no-apologies pot-still rum that holds its own against powerhouse Caribbean rums. "
