rhum agricole1 of 9

The best Martinique-inspired martinis are made with the island's famed rhum agricole. The Martini-que is one of them.

The Macouba Negroni is more dynamic and sophisticated than the original, thanks to the inspired blend of spices and heat in Rhum JM VSOP.

Rhum Clément 10 Year Grand Reserve is not a gold rum. For me, though, it is the gold standard of rhum agricoles readily available in the U.S.

In Martinique, VSOP rhums, like the exquisite Rhum Clément VSOP bring smiles and laughter like no other rum. The reason lies in the VSOP.

What's the best way to ensure that your journey from rum devotee to forever fan of rhum agricole meets with success? Start with Rhum JM VO.

Tiki culture doesn't jive with the real Caribbean to me. In the case of the Jungle Oiseau, though, the disparate tropic traditions come together nicely.

Sugar cane, freshly pressed is the secret to crafting rhum agricole. That means harvesting the sugar cane when its sugar concentration is at its peak.

Dark, smoky, seductively aromatic and complex, La Flibuste is the very embodiment of both the brand and the word "Favorite" to me.

Like a comfortable former flame who failed to keep your toes tingling, Trois Rivières Cuvée Du Moulin is just plain nice.
