"The tradition of
exploration".
Elaborated with passion by our Master Blender Olivier Kleinhans in Saint-Martin, Gouverneur 1648 is the result of an original blend of several aged rums. It is mainly produced with agricultural rum and molasses rum from Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe and the Dominican Republic. Imbued with the heritage and identity of St. Martin, Gouverneur 1648 pays homage to the Treaty of Condordia by creating a rum that embodies the cultural diversity and sharing values of this bi-national island.
"Born of the desire to prolong the history and revive the spirit of rum in Saint-Martin, Olivier Kleinhans raises these rums from the West Indies in the purest tradition in his cellars in Saint-Martin. "
Carefully selected, these rums are made from freshly pressed cane juice and molasses, with no added sugar or coloring, and are not cold filtered, thus representing the most sincere expression of their producer and their origin.
THE COMMON GOLD
Gouverneur 1648 uses mainly the following sugar cane varieties: R570 white, red and blue. Grown between Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe and the Dominican Republic, they are then harvested, cut by hand and transported fresh to the distillery by tractor or horse.
The wealth of know-how
Our rums are distilled using a wide variety of methods,
including continuous column distillation for Guadeloupe rums and triple distillation for Dominican Republic rums.
The art of mastery
Each year, during its ageing, the rum will lose both degree and volume. This is why we have introduced the static aerated method for ageing our rums, which consists of replenishing the level of the barrels each year with identical rums of the same age.
