BOLOGNE - Artisanal white rum - Column still spirit - Le Distillat - 75.5% alcohol
The Bologne distillery, founded in 1887 in Guadeloupe, the heart of the French Antilles, is nestled in an idyllic setting between turquoise sea and majestic mountainous landscapes. This exceptional volcanic terroir, rich in minerals, offers unique conditions favoring the optimal cultivation of sugarcane. The uniqueness of Bologne rums lies in a perfect combination of natural factors: pure spring water from the Guadeloupe mountains, generous year-round sunlight, fertile volcanic soils, and the iodized sea air that imparts a subtle characteristic saline note. It is precisely this conjunction of natural elements that gives all the magic, authenticity, and unique identity to Bologne rums.
But Bologne is also the preservation of a botanical treasure: the Black Cane. This ancient variety of sugarcane, long neglected due to its low sugar yield, reveals an exceptional aromatic potential. The Bologne distillery is the only one on the island still cultivating this rare cane, now integrated into all its creations to enhance the complexity of flavor profiles. A perfect example is the famous Black Cane cuvée, globally recognized for its richness and unique character.
In 2019, boldness led to the creation of the Le Distillat cuvée, a true tribute to the purity of a column still spirit. This exceptional white rum is made from a subtle blend of red and black canes, distilled in Bologne’s traditional copper column still and marketed without any dilution, with a powerful alcohol content of 75.5%. The result is a rum both intense and silky, delivering fresh and vibrant cane aromas, unprecedented and captivating. This exceptional cuvée invites a unique tasting experience, pure or with a few drops of water to soften the alcohol strength and reveal all its aromatic complexity. A must-try at least once in a lifetime for any enlightened enthusiast.
