In the northwest region of Martinique is the home of Depaz family estate close to the city of Saint-Pierre. There the family cultivates the blue sugarcane used to make their rhum. The estate was founded in 1651, and after being destroyed by a volcanic eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902, it was rebuilt by the Depaz family in 1915. The family produces their products at such a high standard that they have earned the coveted Appelation d’Origine Controlee (AOC) designation for excellence. The Rhum is aged in custom oak casks and blended using no additives, a condition of their AOC award. Depaz Blue Cane Rhum Agricole is released in limited batches at 90-proof for the U.S. market.

Aromas of mint and other herbs over a background of spices and grass. The palate is lightly grassy, with some cinnamon, spice, oak, and not overly sweet or funky. Medium mouthfeel. Not as brash as most agricoles I've had, presumably this is aged a couple years but the bottle doesn't say.
Dry, floral, and oaky. Almost like a tequila.
