LA MAUNY - Flower Edition - White rum - 50%
Distillerie La Mauny is an agricultural rum distillery located north of Rivière-Pilote in Martinique . The distillery belongs to the company Bourdillon, Bellonnie & Successeurs SAS , a subsidiary of the Chevrillon group . The history of La Mauny rums dates back to 1749 when Ferdinand Poulain , Count of Mauny, from the Breton nobility and adviser to the King of France landed in Martinique. He married the daughter of a planter who owned an estate located in Rivière-Pilote, in the south of the island: Domaine La Mauny. In 1820, the estate - which only produced sugar and tafia, the ancestor of rum - developed a new production of Agricultural Rum, made from the pure fresh juice of the plantation's sugar cane. A century later, in 1923, the brothers Théodore and Georges Bellonie acquired the estate. Their complementarity, one at the distillery, the other at the trade, quickly elevates La Mauny to the rank of true pioneer. In 1950, La Mauny became the first brand of rum to export its screen-printed and labeled bottles beyond its municipality to the whole of the island and even to Metropolitan France. The rums of Maison La Mauny have held the AOC Rhum De La Martinique appellation since 1996. For the production of its rums, Maison La Mauny uses 5 of the 14 varieties of sugar cane authorized by the AOC. It gets 70% of its supplies from small neighboring producers who share the principle of sustainable agriculture . Maison La Mauny is the first brand to have set up an association aimed at highlighting the Island's sugar cane growers.
