product Details

French West Indies Agricole Rum Club Private Selection 50cl / Edition No. 26

Finished in a Gardel cask. Gardel is a sugar plantation and mill dating back to 1840. It is located near Moule on the Grande-Terre island of the Guadeloupe archipelago by the Générale Sucrière, also known as the ‘Sugar Baron.’ The distillery dated from around the 1870s and produced rums from a molasses wash in order to make use of the by-products from its sugar production. Today only the sugar factory remains, with the distillery's column stills removed in the early 1990s.

Distilled in 1983, this was selected by German rum ambassador Dirk Becker and bottled by Spirit of Rum. One of 291 bottles.
