Production method
Available technical sheets show that the Arcane range includes both rhums made from pur jus de canne (rhum agricole) and molasses-based distillates; product descriptions report the use of continuous column distillation for several expressions and, for some releases, a two-stage distillation (local column and a subsequent small pot-still distillation in France) as noted by retailers. For aged references the use of the solera method or maturation in oak casks for specified periods is sometimes indicated.
Distillation
Primarily continuous column distillation; product descriptions report for some items a two-stage process (column on the island followed by a small cognac-style pot still distillation in France).
Ageing
For some references maturation using the solera method (e.g. Extraroma 12Y Solera) or ageing in oak for specified periods (for example 12–24 months for Delicatissime according to product sheets).
