Batiste Ecoiste Rhum is a rhum agricole created in the southeast region of the French Caribbean island of Marie Galante. The fresh cut sugarcane is fermented for 36 hours and distilled to 156 proof at Domaine Bellevue, a new state of the art solar powered plantation.
Nose
The aroma delivers a base of sweet sugar cane grass balanced by tart tropical fruit and light spice notes with a light air y sweet fade.
Palate
On the tongue, the rhum has an herbaceous entry with earthy mineral rich sugarcane juice flavor punching through. The fruit notes from the aroma manifest flavors of cooked banana and spicy ginger that lingers and dances with the alcohol notes as the rhum transitions into the finish. There is a subtle hint of mint as the flavors fade.
