Rhum Rhum Liberation 2010
Description
Rhum Rhum Liberation 2010 is the very first agricultural rum resulting from the collaboration between Luca Gargano and Gianni Capovilla and produced on the island of Marie-Galante. It has aged between 2 and 3 years in barrels that have contained great French white wines.
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 (2010) 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.
