The Project was first motivated by the will to develop a business in Mauritius. The evolution of the sugar industry in Mauritius, the ambition to produce a local rum of international standards and the opportunity to create an exclusive "green" tourist attraction have laid the foundations for this bold project. It also symbolizes the dream of a family and its wish to contribute towards sustainable development in Mauritius.
Ideally located in an estate protected from the prevailing trade winds, the sugar cane fields are grown in a unique microclimate which provides the natural water required according to the season.
The distillery can pride itself on the quality of its rum, achieved by distilling the fresh fermented cane juice rather than that obtained from molasses. It is a lengthy process-making used for only 5% of the world's production of high-quality rum.
In line with the concept of sustainable development the distillery concentrates its environmental efforts on recycling and using sophisticated techniques while preserving the environment.
