LONGUETEAU - Punch - Banana - 1 Litre - 25%
The prestigious Longueteau family settled in Guadeloupe as early as 1766, but it was at the end of the 19th century that Louis-Philippe Henry Longueteau acquired part of the famous Marquisat de Sainte-Marie. This acquisition came following the major crisis in the sugar industry which led to the auctioning of these historic lands. In 1895, he bought the Habitation Espérance with the vision of elevating this estate, originally a sugar mill, to the status of an excellent distillery. Today, under the direction of François Longueteau, the House continues to distinguish itself as the only distillery in Guadeloupe where the owner is both a passionate grower and an expert master distiller.
The uniqueness of Longueteau rums lies in their authenticity: they come exclusively from sugarcane grown on their own estate. These canes are harvested at full maturity and crushed the same day, thus guaranteeing freshness and optimal quality. The fermentation process lasts 48 hours, without any additives, to preserve the natural flavors. Distillation then takes place in a carefully designed 28-plate Savalle column, ensuring an agricultural rum of exemplary purity and finesse.
The banana punch presented by Clos des Spiritueux is a concentrate of authentic flavors, made from rigorously selected tropical bananas. These exquisite fruits are macerated for several weeks in a 50° Longueteau agricultural rum, allowing perfect extraction of fruity aromas and a unique gustatory harmony. This punch is ideal for enthusiasts seeking an artisanal, exceptional, and typically Guadeloupean product, offering a rich and intense tasting experience.
