Depaz Plantation Rum 70 cl 45° proof

Le Rhum Vieux Plantation (vieilli 3 ans minimum) est élevé en fûts de chêne. Il est parfait dégusté en digestif, tel quel dans un verre ballon réchauffé au creux de la main…Doté d’une bonne rondeur, ce rhum vieux Depaz est riche en vanille, fruit confit, noix de coco, chocolat, café et pruneaux.

La Depaz distillery is located on the slopes of Mount Pelée. Domaine de la Montagne, a sugar cane plantation, was founded in 1651 by the governor of the island of Martinique, and rum production began there in 1880. After the volcano erupted in 1902, the sole survivor of the Depaz family, Victor, rebuilt the distillery and bought back more than 500 hectares of sugar cane in 1917.

Unusually for the time, Victor Depaz aged much of his rum production from the outset. The distillery and surrounding plantations were sold by his brother, André Depaz, to Bardinet (renamed La Martiniquaise). In 1989, the distillery was modernised, doubling production to 2.4 million litres in 2006.

The canes used for the Depaz rums come from their own plantation and are distilled in a stainless steel column.
