Baie Des Trésors Plein Soleil Blanc Martinique Rhum Agricole

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1155; Rum #470

Baie Des Trésors is not a distillery that I had heard of until I saw this bottle recently. This is a Rhum Agricole from Martinique and comes from sugar cane grown on the Agricole Du Galion. This is the Plein Soleil “White Rum” release. The fresh pressed cane juice from the estate is distilled on column still owned by Sainte-Marie.

Distillery: Baie Des Trésors via Saint James

Bottler: Baie Des Trésors

Region: Martinique

ABV: 54%

Nose: Touch of Lemon, Minerality, Vegetal, Floral

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Lemon, Floral, Minerality, Grassy

Finish:  Medium length finish, Lemon, Floral, Minerality, Vegetal, Peppery, Grassy

Conclusion: A very good, quality agricole rum.  The flavors here are really nice and well balanced. It doesn’t rise to the greatness of some other unaged Rhum Agricole for me, but it is a very solid offering. I wish it was a bit cheaper, however.

Final Score: 85

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
