After trying various rums over the years, I realized I like white rums the most. At least for home mixing. Similar to how I always go for Blanco Tequila. That weird?

I brought some of this stuff back from France, good stuff.

I've never bought Angostura Rum before, I guess I wouldn't now. The Bitters, however, it wouldn't bother me where the rum base came from.

Can someone remind my why Barbancourt isn't considered Rhum Agricole even though it's distilled from whole cane juice?

I love the Rhum Agricole Blanc from Martinique I can get, but Barbancourt's white rum is significantly cheaper.

I'm trying to find my ideal baseline white rum for using in cocktails. I'm biased towards whole cane distillations.

Just compared La Favorite Rhum Agricole from Martinique with Barbancourt White Rhum from Haiti. Sad to say the proper Rhum Agricole from Martinique tasted much better, I'm not sure if the cheaper price really justifies getting Barbancourt instead.

As far as Marinique goes the Clement white was even better than La Favorite. JM was great too.

Worth checking out Cachaça to try more whole cane white rum? I was never super impressed with 51 or Pitu, definitely had those.

Non white rum content: Smith and Cross is great too.
