All our sugar cane plants are exclusively selected and grown at the domain, ideally located in fertile valley which enjoys a unique microclimate. At the peak of its maturity, the plants are hand-picked daily at dawn without being burnt and transferred immediately to the mills of the rum distillery. Its rapid conveyance and careful selection guarantee the purest juice extracts.
The filtered cane juice is slowly fermented with a specific selection of yeast which guarantees the finest aromas. The vesou is then distilled in a full copper column to obtain the White Rum or in two copper pots for the Double Distilled Rum. Those sophisticated techniques enhance their distinct flavors.
The distilled Rum is stocked in stainless steel vats for at least six months. During this phase, regular stirring of the distilled product helps eliminate unwanted volatile components.
Part of the clear rum is also reserved for aging in oak barrels. Some will be aged for only 18 months in order to produce "Gold rum" and others for at least 4 years to obtain aged rum. During this aging process the rum acquires its aroma, body, taste and amber color. |
