Saison Caribbean Pale Rum
Saison Caribbean Pale Rum is a 40% ABV (80 proof) blend of unaged Caribbean rums — Barbados 45%, Trinidad 35%, Jamaica 20% — rested just 3 months in mature French oak barrels on the banks of the Charente in France. Pot-still molasses distillation gives it richness, column-distilled cane gives it delicacy, and the short French-oak rest rounds the edges without adding color or heavy wood. Blended by Cognac Master Jérôme Tessendier with no added sugar or caramel. A white rum with a cognac house's fingerprints — order Saison Caribbean Pale Rum online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The White Rum of the Line
Every other Saison spends years in wood; the Pale is the exception that proves the house's range. Unaged rums from three islands — rich pot-still molasses character from Barbados and Trinidad, delicate column-distilled cane from the mix — are blended by Jérôme Tessendier and given just three months in mature French oak: enough to knit the blend together, not enough to color or wood it. It's the cocktail-workhorse expression of the line, and the closest Saison gets to a classic white rum. See the aged Caribbean Rum for contrast, browse the rum collection, or shop the Saison range.
Tasting Notes
Bright cane and tropical fruit from the unaged blend, with a whisper of vanilla and roundness from the short French-oak rest; clean, lively, and dry rather than sweet.
How to Enjoy
This is the mixing Saison: daiquiris, Mojitos, and Ti' Punch all benefit from its blend of pot-still richness and column-still lift. It sips clean too, lightly chilled.
