Trois Rivières Cuvée du Moulin Rhum Agricole Vieux
Trois Rivières · Distillerie Trois Rivières
Trois Rivières' Cuvée du Moulin honors the heritage of the estate's original sugar mill. The aging in French and American oak rounds the agricole funk into something sophisticated, but the grassy, cane-juice DNA remains intact. It's a contemplative sipper that bridges the gap between fresh agricole and more structured aged expressions.
Nose
Fresh sugarcane and grassy agricole funk greet the nose first, followed by dried tropical fruit and a hint of toasted coconut. Vanilla and soft oak tannins emerge with time in the glass, alongside a subtle orange peel note.
Palate
Rich and layered, with roasted banana and caramel at the center. The agricole character asserts itself through a savory, almost herbaceous midpalate. Oak and light toffee add structure, while a peppery spice lifts the back end.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering dried fruit, tobacco, and a final flash of citrus.

Cocktail Suggestion
Moulin Ti' Punch — 2 oz Trois Rivières Cuvée du Moulin · 0.5 oz cane syrup · 1 lime disc (muddled) · Muddle lime and cane syrup in rocks glass, add rum, stir, add ice if desired.
Food Pairing
Slow-roasted jerk-spiced pork belly with caramelized pineapple and a lime crema — the rum's tropical fruit notes and warm spice find a savory counterpart in the charred, aromatic meat.
Trois Rivières distillery sits on a former sugar plantation at the foot of Mont Pelée in Martinique's south, where cane is harvested and pressed the same day it's cut — a practice mandated by AOC Martinique regulations.
