At long last, we speak to our first rum producer from Réunion Island! In this episode, we welcomed Marie Ferrand (Cellar Master) and Yann Auberval (Director of Marketing) to take us inside Isautier Distillery's traditions of both cane juice and molasses-based rums. We discuss:
The differences between the rhum agricoles of the Caribbean and Réunion
Why Isautier has long focused on both rhum agricole and rhum traditionnel (molasses-based rum)
The approach to aging that contributes to the rum's unique profile
How the recent partnership with La Maison & Velier came about
The differences between the LM&V bottlings and Isautier's typical releases
Marie's philosophy on rum blending
A walkthrough of their production process (and some experiments they're currently working on)
The story behind Rhum Charrette — the best-selling rum on Réunion that features distillate from all of the island's distilleries
And much more!
