St. George California Agricole Rum

Another great spirit out of St George Spirits in Alameda, California, is this Agricole Rum made from sugarcane grown in California. 

On the nose: Raw fresh sugarcane juice, olives in brine, and dry hay funk, with a hint of brown sugar and sweet corn.

On the palate: A hit of pepper followed by buttery grassy notes and olives in brine. Funky vegetal layers, typical of an Agricole-styled rum, with an underlying sweetness. A rather long finish.
