Blue Cane, 100 Proof — The Connoisseur's White Rhum
Most white rums are afterthoughts; Canne Bleue is the opposite. A single cane varietal, fermented open to the air and bottled at a muscular 100 proof, it shows what agricole rhum actually tastes like: grassy, peppery, mineral, alive. The 50% ABV isn't bravado — it's the proof at which the cane character carries through a Ti' Punch. Rhum Clément's AOC Martinique status guarantees this is exactly what the label says: cane juice, Martinique, nothing added. For the rum drinker who has only had molasses rum, this is the revelation bottle.
Tasting Notes
Intensely aromatic — fresh-cut cane, white pepper, citrus zest, a saline mineral edge. The palate is powerful and textured at 100 proof: grass, green banana, anise. Long, warming, peppery finish.
How to Enjoy
The classic Ti' Punch: a finger of rhum, a coin of lime, a barspoon of cane syrup, stirred — never shaken. Also superb in a Daiquiri where the proof holds the lime in balance.
