White Rum

Botucal Planas Blanco is named after the area near the Botucal distillery in the foothills of the Andes. There it matures for up to six years in white oak barrels and undergoes elaborate charcoal filtering to give it its clear colour. Thanks to its rich blend, Planas Blanco offers an unexpected variety of flavours and aromas.

Savanna Blanc HERR Edition 2022 is a white rum with a high proportion of esters from the island of La Réunion. HERR therefore stands for High Ester Rhum Reunion. The Savanna distillery has been located in the Bois Rouge sugar factory in Saint-André since 1992. For the production of the highly aromatic rum, molasses is fermented for 11 days and then distilled in Pot Stills. The fruity and luscious rum is bottled without storage with an ester content of 796 grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol.

The Barbancourt Haitian Proof rum is bottled at 55% vol. after being traditionally distilled in pot stills from 100% sugar cane juice. The character of this white rum is typically Haitian with notes of sugar cane juice and eucalyptus.

Depaz Cuvée Victor Depaz is made from pure sugar cane juice. The sugar cane was harvested at the foot of the Mount Pelée volcano, where the terroir is challenging for cultivation, but the mineral-rich environment ensures the excellent quality of the plants and the juice obtained from them. The long fermentation of at least 60 days and a long resting phase of up to three months in stainless steel tanks result in a white rhum agricole with outstanding flavours.

The Ghana White Unaged Pot Still Rum from FRC is an eye-catcher due to its special origin and the bottle decorated with Ghanaian symbolic language. For this rum, fresh sugar cane juice from Ghana is distilled in the Pot Still and bottled at 65% drinking strength without barrel ageing. No sugar is added afterwards.

The Habitation Velier - Distillerie de Port au Prince is a Haiti Pure Single Rhum and is distilled from freshly pressed juice of the Cristalline sugar cane variety. It is fermented for 10 to 12 days and distilled twice. It is then bottled with an ester content of 289g per hectolitre and 59% vol. Despite the higher ester and alcohol content, it is smooth yet lively on the tongue and palate.

The independent bottler La Maison du Rhum is once again going on a country tour with 3 new editions in the Discovery series. The Paraguay is a white rum made from 100% organic sugar cane honey.

The sugar cane for Neisson Le Rhum Blanc is grown in the northern Caribbean terroir of Martinique, where the soils are very challenging and rather poorly developed. The volcanic pumice from Mount Pelée has a sandy clay structure, which makes cultivation difficult. The strong sunlight and low rainfall with a very high daily temperature fluctuation make the conditions even more difficult. The sugar cane is then distilled on column stills, gradually reducing the white rum to 52.5 % vol. before maturing for at least three months in stainless steel tanks, which gives it a fine and delicate sweetness with floral aromas and a hint of liquorice.

The Papa Rouyo Vwayaj Rhum from Guadeloupe is a Rhum Agricole de Terroir. The special thing about this rhum is that no sugar or chill filtration is added and the fresh juice from sugar cane, some of which is home-grown, is distilled in alambic stills, which are rare in Guadeloupe. The sugar cane variety used, B 80.0689, grows exclusively on the Atlantic Ocean.

Le Réjéton Blanc Rhum by Papa Rouyo is the result of the blending of white rums obtained from different distillations. The now second batch consists of a base of the original Le Rejeton with 10% overripe and 90% fresh sugar cane, with a dominant proportion of red sugar cane R579. At Papa Rouyo, great importance is attached to the traceability of the rums. The selection of the raw materials, the climate and the soils of Guadeloupe, as well as the different phases of production underline this effort for transparency. More detailed information can be found on the back of the bottle label.

Renegade All-Island Cuvée Aura Rum comes from one of the most modern rum distilleries in the world. With Mark Reynier, known as a whisky entrepreneur, Waterford CEO and former CEO of Bruichladdich, the Renegade rums are now also produced according to the 'farm by farm, field by field, terroir by terroir' principle. The innovative plant allows the individual sugar cane harvests to be processed separately. A sophisticated digital data system makes the tracking of the sugar cane fully traceable. As with Reynier's wine and whisky creations, the principle of maximum transparency in production also applies to Renegade Rums. Distilled on pot stills and column stills, the All-Island Cuvée Aura Rum Études New Bacolet rum, which is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, is made from sugar cane juice and is not matured.

Saint James Rhum Imperial Blanc is made from freshly pressed sugar cane juice and distilled on a column still.
