The story
The brand started as a project linked to the French group Les Bienheureux, founded by wine and spirits professionals. The proposition combines components and ageing typical of Guatemala with a final maturation in France, creating a range aimed at the premium segment.

Territory
Primary production and primary ageing: Guatemala. Final finishing/maturation: Charente, France.
Production method
Distilled from molasses in Guatemala, with solera‑style ageing practices; parts of the blends are then moved to France for a finish in ex‑Cognac casks.
Ageing
Solera‑style ageing in Guatemala; finished in France (Charente) with maturation in ex‑Cognac casks (finish duration reported on some product sheets: about 6 months).
