Montebello Blanc

Produced by a family-run distillery spanning five generations, this agricole white rum is made from freshly harvested sugarcane grown in Guadeloupe, carefully selected for both variety and ripeness. The cane juice is extracted using steam-powered mills—one of the last still operating on the island—before undergoing a natural fermentation process initiated using a traditional "pied de cuve." Slowly distilled in a column still, the spirit is collected at between 74% and 80% ABV, then rested and gradually reduced to 50% using filtered water. Entirely crafted on site, this process yields a crystal-clear rum with a precise aromatic profile combining vegetal notes with ripe cane and candied citrus. The palate is supple yet structured, with a fine tension and clean persistence. Montebello Blanc 50° is a faithful expression of Basse-Terre’s agricole rums, defined by a bold and expressive style.
