Review #1460; Rum #759
Please note, this is not an actual Rhum Agricole, that is just what is on the label.
This is a fresh pressed cane juice rum from the Roulaison distillery located in New Orleans, Lousiana United States. This rum was made from cane juice from Louisiana, distilled on a pot still, then bottled with no chill filtering or additives.
I am sad to note that, per the internet, it does appear that Roulaison is now closed at this point.

A very good showing of American cane juice rum for me. This is a bit of that grungy dirty cane juice rum that I enjoy. Nice flavors, the grass is pronounced, as is the Coriander. It gets a little solventy at times but overall a very good release.
