BOLOGNE - Grande Réserve - 42 %
The Distillerie Bologne is located in Guadeloupe. It has been in activity since 1887 and takes its name from the former owners of the sugar refinery located on the fertile slopes of La Soufrière. The Protestant Bologne family migrated to Holland during the Wars of Religion and settled in Brazil (then a Dutch colony) in 1580 to cultivate sugar cane. The Bologne arrived in Guadeloupe in 1654 after having been dismissed from Brazil and then from Martinique. Over the centuries, Bologne's sugar refinery will experience ups and downs, like all the refinery of the time, linked to history and the French Revolution. It was under the leadership of Louis Sargenton-Callarden in 1930 that the house specialised in the production of Rhum Agricole.
Bologne Grande Réserve is an Old Rum (Rhum Vieux) resulting from the distillation of black cane and red cane juice. It is a blend of old agricultural rums aged in oak barrels for 4 to 8 years.
