GUADELOUPE

Land of sugarcane

Introduced in the 17th century in Guadeloupe, sugarcane is cultivated over more than 5,000 hectares for rum production. The harvest begins in January and continues until June. Indeed, this stage takes place during the sunniest period of the year in Guadeloupe in order to extract the best properties of the plant.

Sugarcane reaches maturity between 10 and 12 months, meaning only one harvest is carried out each year. After the freshly cut cane is crushed, fermentation and distillation take place.

The particularly pleasant climatic conditions of the island (heat and humidity), combined with the genuine expertise of local producers, give Guadeloupe agricultural rum its reputation as one of the best in the world.

Made from two cane varieties found on the island, blue cane and red cane, Arawak white rum is unique: smooth, raw and energetic.
