Smuggler's Reserve Pure Cane Rum
Smuggler's Reserve Pure Cane Rum is the cane-juice white rhum in the Smuggler's Reserve line from Infinity Spirits, the Amsterdam-based blender that sources rums from named distilleries and bottles them under one label at working prices. Where the rest of the range is made from molasses, Pure Cane starts from fresh sugarcane juice — the same starting point as rhum agricole and cachaça — column-distilled and bottled as a multi-origin blend at 50% ABV (100 proof) in a 700mL bottle, which gives it a grassier, greener, more vegetal profile than a molasses rum, plus the muscle to stand up in a mixed drink. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Agricole of the Smuggler's Range
Smuggler's Reserve is an ode to the Prohibition-era rum runners, built as real rum from real places, blended for approachability and priced for the back bar. Pure Cane is the outlier in the lineup: cane juice instead of molasses, bottled at full 100 proof, so the vegetal, grassy character survives dilution. Compare it with the molasses-based siblings and the rest of our rum shelf, or browse more spirits at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Fresh-cut grass, green cane and white pepper on the nose. The palate is dry and vegetal with a clean cane sweetness underneath, and the 100-proof finish is warm, bright and quick.
How to Enjoy
Build a Ti' Punch with lime and a touch of cane syrup, shake a daiquiri that tastes of the cane field, or use it in a caipirinha-style build — at 100 proof the mixer never swallows it. See more cocktail ingredients at Del Mesa Liquor.
