Rhum Rhum Liberation 2015

Description

Rhum Rhum Liberation 2015 45% version is an agricultural rum resulting from the collaboration between Luca Gargano and Gianni Capovilla and produced on the island of Marie-Galante. It has aged 6 years in barrels that have contained great French white wines (Sauternes: Chateau d'Yquem, Domaine Leflaive).

The rum comes from sugar cane grown by hand on Marie-Galante and has benefited from a very long period of fermentation before being distilled in small copper pot stills, heated in a bain-marie. The year on the label (2015) actually corresponds to the date of release of the rum.

A great adventure is at the origin of this rum: in 2004 Luca Gargano (Velier) and Gianni Capovilla (recognized throughout the world as one of the best distillers) decided to unite their common passion to produce in Marie-Galante a agricultural rum in an unusual way, if not unique in the world: pure sugar cane juice ferments without adding water for 10 days during which the temperature is controlled. The rum is thus distilled as one would distill a pear or an apple, using two small copper stills in a bain-marie and with a double distillation.
