A detailed look at Oxbow Rum Distillery in Baton Rouge. Louisiana. 75% of the rum Oxbow makes is cane juice "Rhum Louisiane" (aka "agricole style"). Oxbow is unique among the state’s rum distillers because of its family connection to the Alma Sugarcane Plantation.
“Typical final distillation ABV is between 60 to 70 percent ABV for cane juice rum, and 80 to 90 percent ABV for molasses rum.”
Is there any reason for this, or is just a business choice?
A good question for Andrew. I don't know. I'll ask him next time.
