Rhum Rhum Liberation 2024 Vol.45% Cl.70

Rhum Rhum Liberation 2024 — Version 45 proof is Capovilla's rum agricole distilled in Marie Galante, French Caribbean.

Rhum Rhum represents one of the most important and visionary projects related to rhum agricole: it was born from the meeting between Luca Gargano and Gianni Capovilla in Marie-Galante, with the aim of producing a great artisanal rum, pure and deeply rooted in the raw material.

Rhum Rhum Liberation 2024 — 45° version is a cuvée that captures the essence of the finest batches of the Rhum Rhum project.

Distilled in the French Caribbean, presented in its mellowed 45° expression and blended with water, bottled at the Rosà distillery, this version integrates aromas of fruit, caramel, vanilla, and spices with structure and character to offer a superlative tasting experience.

Distilled in the summer of 2021 from ripe sugarcane juice, pressed and fermented on site according to Caribbean agricultural tradition, with native yeasts.

Extremely prolonged fermentation and batch distillation in a bain-marie in small copper stills at the famous itinerant distillery in Capovilla characterize the production method.

The two stills that make up the itinerant distillery are Muller column-stills specifically for the Rhum Rhum project.

The traveling distillery is a French tradition, allowing the distiller to travel with his wagon-mounted stills throughout the French Republic, selecting the best product for distillation.

Previously, the traveling distillery of Rhum Rhum Capovilla was located in Maria Galante.

After lengthy maturation in select barrels (woods of varying complexity selected by Gianni Capovilla and Luca Gargano), the rum is blended with minimal or no reduction to bring it to a 45% ABV, a rum prized by tasters and the general public.

Aging in noble woods, which have previously contained great French white wines, contributes to defining a unique style with great aromatic complexity.

Most of the barrels used to age Rhum Rhum come from the renowned Château d'Yquem in Bordeaux, especially famous for its sweet Sauternes wines.

The name "Liberation" refers to the rum's newfound freedom from the barrel, and the date on the label refers to the year it was bottled.

Liberation 2024 is also the world's first Pure Single Agricole Rum, meaning it's double distilled in a copper pot still using a water bath and aged on site for at least three years.

Rhum Rhum Liberation 2024 Version at 45 proof is designed for passionate connoisseurs of fragrant Caribbean agricultural rum, capable of expressing its terroir and uncompromising craftsmanship.

An edition to be savored slowly, contemplated, and, for connoisseurs, a collector's item. A rare agricultural rum that combines character, depth, and authenticity.
