The name Trois Rivières, literally 'Three Rivers', comes from the Trois Rivières distillery and sugarcane plantation on Martinique which is bordered by three rivers: Bois d'Inde, Oman and St. Pierre. Since 2003-4, Trois Rivières rums have been made at the island's Rivière Pilote distillery.

This 100 proof 'rhum blanc agricole' was distilled from fermented sugar cane juice using a column still and then rested for three months prior to bottling in huge wooden vats. It is reduced to strength with spring water and bottled at the distillery.

A lower-strength bottling 40% Thois Rivières Blanc is also available.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 20/06/2022

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pungent, fruity and slightly funky with yeasty notes, peppery spice, and faint lavender.

Taste:

Flavours of salty sugar cane and faint floral notes. Despite the spirituous spice from the high alc./vol. this is surprisingly mellow on the palate.

Aftertaste:

Long, sweet black and white pepper finish.

Overall:

A very good example of a traditional rhum blanc from Martinique at our preferred 50% alc./vol strength.
