BOLOGNE RUM: THE EXCELLENCE OF GUADELOUPE'S RUM

The Bologne distillery, located in Guadeloupe, is one of the oldest distilleries producing smoky rums in the Caribbean. Founded over 130 years ago, it embodies the history and tradition of the archipelago. Although it began marketing aged rums relatively recently, it stands out for its expertise and unique approach to crafting exceptional rums. The Bologne distillery also popularized its Black Cane white rum, an innovation launched in 2015 that quickly caused a stir in the rum industry. But the history of Bologne goes back much further, to the roots of the 16th century, with notable historical figures such as the Chevalier de Saint-Georges or Jean-Noel Ame-Noel, the first man of color to become a major landowner. This rich historical past testifies to the Bologne family's commitment to producing quality rum, influenced by emblematic figures and a strong cultural heritage. The Bologne rum range includes several expressions, from classic white rum to aged rums, all crafted with care and patience. Black Cane white rum, made from black cane, is one of the most popular creations, followed by the series of aged rums: Gold, VS (a blend of rums aged between 3 and 6 years), VO (nicknamed "yellow jersey"), and the prestigious XO. The latter is a smooth and generous rum, with a long, woody, and elegant finish, making it a benchmark in the world of rum.
