Founded in 1930, Bologne is the oldest and the second largest distillery on the island of Guadalupe, in the Basse-Terre area. When the production and trade of sugar became unprofitable in the late nineteenth century, Bologna began to specialize in the production of rhum agricole.
The process begins with the cutting of ripe cane from the fields around the distillery and in other farms in Guadeloupe. During fermentation (between 24 and 48 hours) the heat generated in these high tanks favors natural circulation. The beautifully crafted copper pipes and polished columns of these stills are true works of art.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
