Rhum Bologne Black Cane With Box 50% 70cl
A remarkable white rum from Maison Bologne, crafted exclusively from 100% black sugarcane, a rare variety renowned for its rich and complex flavors. This monovarietal rum showcases the unique character of black sugarcane, reflecting the craftsmanship and dedication of the distillery.
Origin & Production Process
Located at the foot of the active Soufrière volcano in Guadeloupe, Maison Bologne benefits from fertile volcanic soil and naturally filtered spring water, which contribute to the exceptional quality of their rums. Maison Bologne is one of the few distilleries still cultivating black sugarcane, known for its aromatic potential despite its low yield.
After being carefully harvested on sunny days, the sugarcane juice is immediately extracted, resulting in a fresh and intense expression of tropical fruit aromas. The distillation takes place in copper columns at low temperatures, allowing the natural terroir and the sugarcane variety to shine.
