Baie De Tresors Flowers of the Winds Rhum Agricole

Baie De Tresors Flowers of the Winds Rhum Agricole is the dry-plot counterpart to Fruits of the Rains: cane from the windswept Spoutourne parcels on Martinique's Caravelle peninsula, caressed by the trade winds and sheltered from tropical downpours, distilled from fresh-pressed cane juice and rested in American oak casks. Bottled at 49.8% ABV (99.6 proof) in a 750mL bottle. Dry-parcel cane concentrates its aromas, and the glass shows it — delicate fresh coconut and vanilla, wild rose, pastry notes, a hint of mint, then exotic fruit and a balsamic, resinous finish. No sugar, no caramel, no additives. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Wind Plot

Same house, opposite weather. Where the Dufferet slopes drink the rain, Spoutourne stays dry under the trade winds, and the cane responds by packing everything into smaller, more aromatic stalks. Flowers of the Winds is the airier, more floral of the two — "an airy delicacy," in the French press's words — with the American oak rest adding pastry-like vanilla and coconut rather than weight. Taste it next to Fruits of the Rains and you'll understand parcellaire in one sip. Browse the Baie De Tresors collection, explore more rum, and discover the agave spirits shelf at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

Delicate aromas of fresh coconut with vanilla accents, beautiful floral notes (wild rose), fresh expression enhanced by pastry tones and punctuated with mint. Exotic fruit notes appear, followed by a more balsamic, slightly resinous finish. Very good length.

How to Enjoy

Neat to appreciate the floral delicacy, or in a ti' punch where its freshness cuts through lime and cane syrup. RumX tasters rate it a particular standout in ti' punch.
