BOLOGNE - White Rum - La Batterie - Single Parcel Cuvée - Black Cane - 58.6%
The Bologne Distillery is an iconic reference in rum production in Guadeloupe, with a rich history dating back to 1887. Its name pays tribute to the first owners of the sugar plantation established on the fertile slopes of La Soufrière, an exceptional volcanic terroir. Originating from a Protestant lineage, the Bologne family migrated to Holland during the religious wars and settled as early as 1580 in Brazil, then a Dutch colony, to cultivate sugar cane. After being expelled from Brazil and then Martinique, they finally settled in Guadeloupe in 1654. The Bologne sugar plantation has gone through many historical periods, notably the French Revolution, which marked its evolution. Thanks to the forward-thinking vision of Louis Sargenton-Callarden in 1930, the distillery specialized in producing exceptional Agricultural Rum.
La Batterie is a rare white agricultural rum, made exclusively from black cane, a variety grown on a unique wind-exposed parcel within the estate's lands. This single parcel cuvée of La Batterie benefits from a dry and sunny microclimate, perfectly suited to the maturation of the cane, thanks to its fertile volcanic terroir. On this historic parcel, remnants of an old battery dating back to the 17th century can still be found, bearing witness to the site's rich heritage. Distillation is carried out using an old Creole copper column still, giving this rum an incomparable aromatic complexity and a unique taste profile.
