Artisanal production with predominant use of pot stills (alambicchi a repasse) for many cuvées; the distillery also uses column distillation for certain releases. Work on small batches, targeted fermentations and cask blending for aged cuvées.
Distillation
Pot still (alambicchi a repasse) for many releases; occasional use of column distillation for specific lots.
Ageing

Producer history Papa Rouyo
The Papa Rouyo project was created as a tribute to Charles Albert Ruscade (Papa Rouyo), a historic sugarcane grower from Le Moule. The distillery opened recently (sources indicate 2021 as the year of inception) and developed as a collective initiative that brings together local farmers to promote small-scale rhums made from pure cane juice.
Production philosophy
To showcase the territory and the work of local "maître-canniers": attention to traceability from cane to bottle, preservation of terroir, artisanal practices and a family-style approach to passing on sugarcane knowledge.
Territory
Guadeloupe; terroirs mainly connected to Le Moule (Portland) with the distillery located in Sainte-Claire, Goyave.
