Anatomy of the Bottle - Baie des Trésors

A NEW VISION

in Rhum

A terroir driven Agricole rhum, Baie des Trésors is the pure and artistic expression of the French Martinique. It is made without any artifice or additives, molasses or caramel. The color is natural, and so is the taste.

MORE THAN A NAME, a protective bay on the northeast coast of Martinique, abutting the Caravelle peninsula, was named by its reputation as a safe hiding place for Caribbean Pirate ships and the treasures they held.

THE RIGHT OAK BARRELS Aging this rhum in small, French Oak casks creates a well-balanced flavorful rhum expression that is uniquely frank with delicate notes of vanilla and a smoky, mineral tone. Allow yourself to be taken aboard this vessel, heading for distant horizons.

SINGLE PLOT RHUMS As one of the largest and oldest landholders on the island of Martinique, the terroirs of Galion are giving rise to very different rhums. Some inland plots receive nearly two meters of precipitation each year, while others on the Caravelle peninsula receive barely half a meter.

PURE SUGAR CANE RHUM

AGRICOLE Rhum Agricole is rare by nature (only 5% of all rum). It comes from distilling freshly squeezed, fermented cane juice (vesou). The remarkable quality of the rhum is the result of a long and meticulous process that includes selecting fresh sugar cane, precise, single-column distillation, and masterful aging techniques.

MAPPING MARTINIQUE The unique bottle design reflects the terrain of beautiful Martinique Island.

TASTING NOTES Aromas of dried and candied fruits, with hints of vanilla wood. Silky and soft on the palate with generous notes of roasted fruit and dark chocolate. Finishes with lots of roundness and fresh grassy cane notes. Great length in the mouth.

FRUITS OF A SPECIFIC

TERROIR A little further inland, and a little higher up on the land, are the plots near the Habitation Dufferet. On these exposed slopes, the canes receive generous rain, resulting in prosperous, rich, and juicy plants. This cane juice gives birth to round rhums, generous and full of sweetness.
