Arnaud was excellent in his technical explanations. Personally from the industry, I found it very interesting. But unfortunately, we are here to taste rum and there is a little lack of explanation about the different possible tastes depending on aging. Otherwise, we see that it is a big company that has a future when it has mastery of juices and is to create big rums. Congratulations to them already for providing all the rum manufacturers

Experience that I highly recommend in Basse-Terre: fascinating guided tour and very rich in explanations on the stages of rum production. Guide Arnaud's explanations were at the top! And in a small group, you could ask lots of questions, which was part of a great conviviality. thanks to Arnaud who knows how to make us discover these places and the process with brilliance and interest. I enjoyed the tasting that ends the visit, where you take the time to discover the rums from the distillery, and always with seriousness and good humor.
Too bad.

Too bad! The guide was very nice and kind but on the other hand too many people so we do not hear, it is difficult to follow. Besides, it goes a little in every direction. We also learn, which surprises me, that traditional rum is sold like agricultural rum at the distilleries of Guadeloupe .....
Guided tour at the top!!
