Montebello - 7 Years Old Aged Rum - The Encounter - Finished in Pommeau de Bretagne - 49.1% ABV
The Montebello rum is an exceptional agricole rum crafted with passion by the renowned Carrère distillery located in Petit-Bourg, Guadeloupe. This distillery, more commonly known as the Montebello distillery, takes its name from the iconic neighborhood where it has been established since 1975, a key reference in the world of quality agricole rums. Founded in 1930 by the Dolomie family, the distillery today continues a strong family tradition with Grégory and Dominique Marsolle, who took over in December 2011 with a deep commitment to sustainable innovation. In 2012, it distinguished itself through its ecological approach by fully valorizing the by-products from sugarcane crushing, notably using dry bagasse as a natural fuel to power its traditional steam engines, thus preserving a unique ancestral know-how in the Caribbean.
This exceptional expertise is also expressed in the meticulous harvest of handpicked sugarcanes, exclusively sourced from the rich and fertile volcanic terroirs of Petit-Bourg, Goyave, Basse-Terre, Lamentin, and Sainte-Rose. Montebello is among the last Caribbean distilleries to use historic steam engines, ensuring unique yield and quality, which can be found in every bottle of agricole rum.
The presented cuvée illustrates a rare and refined alliance born from an unprecedented collaboration between the Distillerie du Gorvello, based in Brittany and renowned since 1984 for its spirits made from cider apples, and the Montebello house. This exceptional rum was aged for 125 days in a cask that previously held Pommeau de Bretagne, a precious blend combining freshly pressed cider apple juice and cider eau-de-vie, thus imparting fruity, complex, and elegantly woody notes to the rum—perfect for enthusiasts seeking authenticity and originality in their spirits.
