Trois Rivieres Cuvee de l'Ocean

Bijzondere witte argricole rhum van Martinique, bijzonder omdat deze wordt gemaakt van het suikerriet wat het dichtst langs de kust groeit ('met de wortels in het water') en dit zorgt voor een maritiem, licht ziltige nasmaak. Voor de rest een prima witte argricole.

I had the opportunity to sample this during the California Rum Fest, at the Tour d'Agricole table. Cuvée de l'Océan will not appeal to all rum drinkers, or even all agricole aficionados, but the taste is refreshingly unique. Salty and grassy, this is a rum that can be enjoyed neat on a hot summer day, or used to create a new version of a cocktail that might otherwise call for tequila. Those who rate this rum poorly have no doubt not spent much time learning about it ahead of time. Sadly, it is not available in the USA, and must be purchased from abroad where the shipping costs exceed the cost of the product.

Actually, I bought this rum because of the silly bottle. And because it is an agricole. In the nose there ist a very strange odour of seeweed and rottening octopusses. But the taste is sweet and agreable. So, in the end, I can only recommend this rum.

Rhum très particulier aux parfums salins. Un délice à boire sec ou en ti punch

As said - punchy, grassy, has the sweet nose of bagasse. Really good on a hot day in a punch. True 7.

Je ne suis pas un grand fan du rhum 3 rivières mais j'avoue avoir été surpris par le gout de celui-ci; très fruité.

Juste le meilleur rhum pour faire du rhum arrangé, vient ensuite le trois rivieres blanc 50 qui est un peu plus raisonnable question prix pour ce genre de preparation. On peut aussi le boire tel quel. J aime.

42% ABV. Grassy. Cane, brine, corn. Dry-smelling. Very mild on the palate. Would benefit from a higher proof. Not very dry, not very sweet. Coconut. Very smooth and highly drinkable. Quite good, just not quite great.

7++

Very unique batch. Cuvée de l'ocean brings you mineral flavor, iodin, dryness and subtil flower notes.

Nose of golden raisin, the usual agricole grassiness, and some salty sea air coming through. In the mouth you just get a big ol' hit of salted, dried apricot. Finishes with a little more salt, plus that agricole grass-funk. This is a really cool rum. Not the best out there by any stretch, but very much it's own breed! If you want to explore all the reaches of what rum can be, you've got to add this to your list!

La cuvée de l'océan est issue de cannes du sud de l'ile.
Très tonique, avec un côté sauvage... Peut-être également une pointe iodée.
Ce rhum est très typé et à déguster sec.

Nekem a rum az ízek és aromák felfedezését jelenti..mivel még fehér rumom nincs a gyűjteményben, úgy gondoltam a Trois rivieres jó választás lessz. Azt tudni kell hogy az ültetvény közvetlenül az óceán mellett fekszik ,gyakorlatilag a cukornád az óceánból táplálkozik úgyhogy enyhén sós íze van..legalábbis több helyen ezt írták az olvasói vélemények. "Illatában" inkább a jódos kötszer ugrik be mint a sósság, kissé zavaró, nem hétköznapi. Ízében már ényhén sós , édes( talán vanília ) jegyek jelentkeznek !! Egyedi rum, de baráti társaságban csak úgy nem merném kínálgatni . :) az üveg hátulján koktélrecept is található..

Trois Rivieres offers a good products for preparing planteurs and ti Punch. This white rhum is enriched by this note of Sea in its taste. It’s produced with cane cultivated close to the beach and this provides a peculiar final note of freshness. It’s excellent for cocktails, I would recommend a Mojito with it: it’s surprising.

This one is extraordinary. You dont drink salty rum every day :)
But quite interesting experience and good barman can make great cocktail from it.
Definitely recommend even beside its saltyness its still just white agricole rum.

You must be a lover of agricole (french-style) rums, to have the proper experience. The rum tones are after the sugarcane juice - both in aroma and taste. But there is also the influence of the salty ground, where the cane is grown... you can feel the sea-salt at the tip of your tongue.

Really a nice one to the agricole collection :)

Un rhum blanc assez spécial car les cannes à sucre sont plantées afin d'avoir les "pieds" dans l'eau et la tête au soleil! Ça donne un rhum assez particulier, iodé! Il est assez surprenant.

This is part of a 24 Rum Advent Calendar given to me. I've never had a white Agrigole before and found it surprisingly tasty. Nice balance of sweetness and alcohol. Odd to not have the nuiances given by Molasses.
Like it a good bit.

Blanc agricole, bottled at 42% this rhum uses sugar cane that has been growed partly in sea water, hence the name.
It should have an oceanic aromas. Lets find out.
Nose: quite mild on the nose since its lower proof, traditional agricole aromas, grass, citrus and fruit but also some brine and corn, hint of olives.
Taste: very mild on the palate, brine, light smokiness, minerals, corn, lemon, olives
Finish: short and smooth.
Overall: Slight disappointment, i was expecting a nice dose of briny and fruity flavours, yes it does have just enough brininess for me but the other flavors feel muted, the flavors are nice and interesting but they dont really pop at you at all.
The result is something that comes of as a mix between standard molasses based white rum and blanc agricole. Higher proof could make this rum more interesting.

Rhum blanc agricole de Martinique. Cannes venant de l'extrême sud de l'île. Titre 43°.
Présentation : très belle bouteille turquoise.
Nez : fruité.
Dégustation : très fruité, avec une pointe minérale (fréquent sur les 3 rivières).
Finale : canne avec une pointe minérale.
Agréable en ti punch mais rien d'extraordinaire non plus.

this is nice. it's got a hint of something on the noise i cant quite place. reminiscent of maybe local tequilas or pulqe or something in mexico? im not sure. if i sort it out, i'll edit my review. anyway i like this well enough but im just not a fan of the style. interestingly day 2 (i didnt finish a wisp) it liked it a lot more. wonder if decanting or maybe home barreling might improve it for me? i might try this again just to learn more about it and my palette.

Decent but I appreciated it less than the original White trois rivières rhum. Drinking it in ti punch

Doux et long en bouche, aromes fruités zt notes de vanille

Odeur très particulière une chance que ça goûte pas la même chose. Au nez, salé vinaigré. C'est pas un rhum que j'aime. Il est fait pour être mélangé.

Last drink for tonight was a glass of Trois Rivieres Cuvee de l'Ocean Rhum. Very nice high end bottle and definitely a unique design. Color is crystal clear. This is an un-aged rum. Tequila like smell to the nose. Very grassy and salty flavor profile to the palate. Unique rum for sure.
