Let’s talk about Rhum Montebello V.Agricole 8Y 2001 70cl

More questions

The Montebello V.Agricole Rhum 8Y 2001 is a refined expression of the Antillean spirit, originating from the historic distillery of Guadeloupe. Distilled in 2001 and aged for eight years in oak barrels, this agricultural rum showcases a distinctive character, due to the fermentation of pure fresh sugar cane juice, rather than molasses, a typical method of agricultural rums.

The palate is welcoming with notes of toasted caramel, vanilla, and mild spices, masterfully integrated with wood accents and a touch of ripe tropical fruit. The finish is long and pleasantly complex, leaving a lingering taste of dried fruit with a slight hint of tobacco and leather.

This rum is an excellent specimen for connoisseurs, offering a tasting experience that is rich and deeply layered. It is ideal for sipping neat, to best appreciate its complexity, or as a sophisticated base for high-class cocktails. A true gem for lovers of superior quality rum.

Distillery

Montebello

GuadeloupeFranceSince 1930

Montebello is a producer of rhum agricole based in Petit‑Bourg (Guadeloupe). Known for its artisanal production of rhum blanc, ambré and vieux, the Maison (historically Carrère) works sugarcane cultivated and harvested by hand and offers both unaged and aged expressions in ex‑Bourbon and ex‑Cognac barrels.
  • Rhum agricole produced in Petit‑Bourg (Guadeloupe) by the historic unit known as Carrère/Montebello
  • Use of hand‑harvested cane from local volcanic areas
  • Extended fermentation of the vesou (48–52 hours) for greater aromatic expression
  • Production of both unaged bottles and numerous aged (vieux) releases, including 'Brut de Fût' and vintage‑dated editions
  • Recognitions in national and international competitions

The story
The production now marketed as Montebello originates from the small Carrère distillery. The Marsolle family has run the business for generations: roots tied to cane cultivation since the late 19th century and development of the Carrère distillery from 1930. Over the years the family management modernized equipment while keeping an artisanal character and introducing barrel aging and bagasse recycling practices.
Distillation
Column distillation for the agricole expressions (column still).
Ageing
Aging in oak barrels (ex‑Bourbon and ex‑Cognac); some expressions are offered as 'brut de fût' (bottled at cask/barrel strength). Barrels are sometimes placed in metal containers to enhance aromatic extraction in a tropical climate, following local practices.
