Montebello rum is an agricultural rum produced by the Carrère distillery in Petit-Bourg in Guadeloupe . The Carrère distillery is better known as the Montebello distillery, the name of its rums since 1975 in reference to the name of the district where it is located. The distillery was founded in 1930 by the Dolomie family . Since December 2011, Grégory and Dominique Marsolle have taken over the family business. In 2012, the distillery embarked on the path of recycling all the "waste" resulting from the crushing of cane. It uses dry bagasse (cane residue) as fuel to produce the steam that powers the cane-crushing presses. To produce its rum, the Montebello distillery has the particularity of using only cane harvested by hand from the volcanic regions of Petit-Bourg, Goyave, Basse-Terre, Lamentin and Sainte-Rose. It is also one of the last distilleries in the Caribbean using steam engines .
This cuvée was born from a meeting between the Distillerie du Gorvello , located in Brittany and specialized since 1984 in the production of spirits from cider apples, and the rum distillery Montebello. This rum was refined for 125 days in a cask that contained Pommeau de Bretagne . Pommeau de Bretagne is a blend of freshly pressed cider apple juice with cider eau-de-vie.
