'Rhum arrange' is more than a drink. It is a culture iconic to the islands of the Mascarene region since the beginning of rhum history itself.

As merchants and pirates would trade between islands, they would carry with them their booty of tropical fruits, spices, plants, and everything else they could get their hands on.

In those days, the high alcohol content and low cost of rhum made it the preservative of choice pre-refidgeration. Not to mention it made for great celebration when the journey was over!

The Indian ocean is known as the roughest of all, and as bounty of tropical fruits sloshing around in their rhum preservative- the sailors discovered something amazing...

Not only were the fruits being preserved, but they were leaving behind their natural flavours infused in their rhum preservative.

As merchants sold their infused rhums to locals, and developed their recipes, the culture of 'rhum arrange' was born. To this day, you will see fruits and spices sitting jars of rhum, infusing for weeks, months or years at a time.

The Isautier family have been perfecting their secret rhum arrange recipes for over 170 years. Their distillery, established in 1845, is one of the oldest in the world and to this day is a family owned and run business. They were the first distillery in the world to begin producing rhum arrange!

It is our pleasure, on behalf of the Isautier family, to bring to you three of our favourite rhum arranges!

These three recipes have been inspired by classic french desserts, and perfected for over a century. They have been awarded 17 medals across four continents, at highly respected festivals and events.

They are made by infusing our traditional white rhum in just the right way to capture the natural flavours and aromas of locally sourced fresh fruits and spices.

Our "gingembre-citron" has the distinct yet subtle sweet, spicy and sour tones of a freshly baked ginger lemon cake, our "cafe vanille" will remind you of a steaming espresso shot, poured over vanilla ice cream, and our "banana flambe" will make your taste buds dance with the aroma of fresh bananas, caramelised and sizzling on a pan, drizzled with a dash of rhum and set afire.

From the moment the aromas reach you, the richness and subtlety of the perfectly balanced flavour combinations take your senses on a tropical vacation. Is this really rhum? Yes! But unlike any other you have tried before!

Sip them slowly, chilled or on ice, get creative and add their unique flavours to craft classic cocktails, or line up some shooters to get the party started!

Santé!
