Bonpland GUADELOUPE 20 Years Old Extremely Rare Rum 1998 45% Vol. 0,5l in Giftbox

The rum series «Bonpland» is a homage to the French doctor and naturalist Aimé Bonpland. This Bonpland Rum matures for some years in Bourbon barrels on Guadeloupe and then gets a finish in German Grand Cru wine barrels.

Following in the footsteps of Bonpland, special individual casks from the top rum distilleries were carefully selected in order to refine them in the best casks from our top wineries. Another six months of finish in the fresh barriques is enough for the top distillates, which have been matured for decades, to give them a final decisive note. Each decanter bottle in this limited exclusive series is individually numbered by hand and presented on a wooden coaster.

Bellevue Distillery in Capesterre is located in the heart of the largest sugar cane plantation on Marie-Galante. The origins of the distillery may lie in the middle of the 19th century on the island of Marie-Galante. However, we do not know exactly when rum production started here. Today, around 800,000 liters of rum are produced in a column that is still in the Bellevue Distillery. Between tradition and modernity, Bellevue Distillery is the premier distillery in the Caribbean committed to protecting the environment.
