    Guadeloupe · Unaged · 45% · RX14872
    Sugarcane · Vegetal · Fresh

    Best for: Agricole fans and Ti Punch drinkers

    Most tasters find it fresh, citrusy and surprisingly rounded for a white — a lovely Ti Punch base. One member who dislikes white rums flatly didn't get on with it.

  2. The Duppy Share White

    7.3/10 (40 reviews)
    Jamaica · Unaged · 40% · RX11795
    Raspberry · Red fruits · Cream

    Best for: People who like fruity, sweeter whites and easy Jamaican funk

    Most people enjoy it: light, red-fruit-heavy and gently funky, surprisingly nice sipped and lovely in a daiquiri. The catch — some find it a little artificial and it can vanish in mixes.

  3. Velier Mother Mesccia Blanc 2025

    7.8/10 (27 reviews)
    Multiple countries · Unaged · 47% · RX24319
    Citrus · Sugarcane · Olive

    Best for: People who like grassy, olive-tinged white agricole but want it toned down

    Most find it a pleasant, easy white agricole — vegetal, saltish, lightly citrusy — but low on complexity and fruit. Some sip it happily; others see it more as a mixer.

  4. Clément Canne Bleue 2021

    Martinique · Unaged · 50% · RX11539
    Grass · Sugarcane · Lime

    Best for: Fans of fresh, floral agricole blanc and ti'punch

    Most find this a fresh, floral Martinique blanc with a lovely oily texture and well-tucked alcohol. The main gripe: a short finish, and one taster found it a bit hot and rough.

    Japan · Unaged · 40% · RX3869
    Floral · Sugarcane · Litchi

    Best for: Adventurous drinkers who like Clairin, olive-brine and funky whites

    Split reactions. Many find it fresh, floral and fascinatingly vegetal with olive and lychee; others taste rice wine or cheese and bounce off. Distinctive column-still funk at an easy 40%.

  6. CDI Tricorne

    Indonesia · Unaged · 43% · RX419
    Sugarcane · Arrack · Floral

    Best for: Daiquiri and Ti Punch makers who want a grassy, funky base

    Loved as a mixing rum — many call it their go-to daiquiri base. Neat it splits people: fans find it clean and floral, others call it thin and an acquired taste.

  7. Clément Canne Bleue 2023

    Martinique · Unaged · 50% · RX17621
    Sugarcane · Citrus · Floral

    Best for: Fans of grassy, cane-forward white agricole

    Most find it a fresh, floral cane-driven white agricole with lime and grass, softer than its 50%. One or two wanted more power and cane intensity from this year's release.

  8. Best for: Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk and overripe tropical fruit

    Loved by funk fans for its ripe pineapple-and-glue profile and easy 50% body. The recurring gripe: it's milder and less intense than the ABV suggests.

  9. Scaramanga

    Scaramanga Scaramanga
    7.2/10 (19 reviews)
    Guadeloupe · Unaged · 45% · RX23906
    Sugarcane · Vegetal · Agricole

    Best for: Fans of soft, honeyed agricole blancs and ti punch drinkers

    Well-liked as an easy, honeyed agricole blanc for ti punch and light cocktails. Most agree it's soft and drinkable but tame, with a short, green finish.

  10. Best for: People who like sweet, spice-forward mixers and Christmas-y flavors

    Most people treat it as a Christmas-y mixing bottle: heavy cinnamon, vanilla and clove that shine in cola or an Old Cuban but feel thin and unremarkable sipped neat.

  11. Best for: Cocktail makers who want a fruity, banana-heavy white base

    Banana-forward and fruity, but most find it thin and a bit hot to sip neat. The consensus lands on mixing — several call it a natural for cocktails like a Pina Colada.

  12. Best for: Fans of grassy, savory unaged cane-juice rums

    Opinions swing widely. Fans call it a "better unaged Renegade," loving the grassy sugarcane and citrus; skeptics find the vegetal, briny, olive-tomato character thin and better mixed than sipped.
