What defines Rhum Blanc Martinique?

Rhum Blanc Martinique is defined by its aging process, which is specifically set to at least 3 months, making it a fresh and vibrant style of rum. This aging period typically helps to enhance the clarity and purity of the flavors, while retaining the bright, sugarcane characteristics inherent to the spirit. Being classified as white, Rhum Blanc is usually unaged in the traditional sense; it can show off the agricultural flavors of the sugarcane, which is a hallmark of Martinican rhums.

The emphasis on the rum being white and aged for a minimal time is key in differentiating it from other styles such as aged rums or blended rums. Other choices that suggest different aging periods or categorization do not accurately reflect the specific regulations and characteristics that define Rhum Blanc from Martinique.
