Production:
A truly unique creation, Rhum Barbancourt’s striking quality is the result of intricate double distillation and refined ingredients. Crafted from homegrown Madame Mevs pure organic sugar cane juice which is transported directly to the distillery to preserve its freshness, the rum is then matured in aromatic oak casks imported directly from the Limousin region of France, making it the only rum on the island to be made this way. A modern, autonomous, and ecologically inclined estate, the distillery has been designed through the cogeneration process, and is entirely self-sufficient for water and electricity. The Estate Reserve is made from pure sugar cane juice, distilled and aged in French Oak barrels for 15 years. Once intended for the Gardère family, it is released each year in limited quantities to the public since the 1960.
