Martinique molasses rum

• Spirits
• Alcoholic

This is rum made in Martinique by distilling molasses, the thick by-product of cane sugar production, rather than fresh cane juice as in rhum agricole. Locally it is also called rhum de sucrerie or industriel, and the French term "traditionnel" is a legal label that also covers cane-juice rum. The flavour is darker and more cooked, with notes of caramelised cane syrup and exotic fruit, far from the grassy profile of agricole. In tiki drinks it adds body, for example in the Mai Tai.

Strength: usually 40% ABV (legal minimum 37.5%).

Used in 1 cocktail.
