RHUM RHUM 2024 Libération Intégrale

The story of Rhum Rhum began in 2004, when Luca Gargano of Velier invited renowned distiller Gianni Capovilla to Marie-Galante with the ambition of producing one of the world’s finest agricultural rums. A master of eau-de-vie production, Capovilla accepted the challenge and installed the first still at the Bielle distillery in 2005, followed by a second in 2007. Their collaboration gave rise to Rhum Rhum, with its first white agricultural rum released in 2008. Deeply connected to Marie-Galante’s agricultural heritage, the project also celebrates traditional sugarcane varieties that had once disappeared from the island.

Produced at the Poisson distillery in Marie-Galante, the Rhum Rhum Libération range is recognised for its distinctive naturalistic label illustrations and its approach to agricultural rum maturation, using casks that previously held fine French wines, particularly Sauternes. Since the collection’s first release in 2009, each edition has been presented in two versions: a reduced-strength bottling and the cask-strength Intégrale. Released alongside its 45% ABV counterpart, Libération 2024 Intégrale offers a more concentrated expression without compromising refinement. Its complex aromatic and flavour profile brings together medicinal, citrus and floral characteristics, enriched by empyreumatic, mineral and syrupy nuances. Powerful yet precise, it showcases the purity and depth of Rhum Rhum’s distinctive style.
