Rhum Agricole Clément 1976 44° 70 cl

The Exploitation Agricole du Galion, founded in 1849, is a major player in the sugar production of Martinique. Since the beginning, it has supplied sugar cane to the Galion factory, which is the last sugar refinery still in operation on the island. Its history is truly one with that of Martinique, through the technical innovations, crises and economic booms that have followed one another for nearly two centuries.
The Exploitation Agricole de Galion owns and cultivates 500 hectares of sugar cane. It manages, if we add its lease contracts with small planters, nearly 750 hectares, which makes it the leading producer in Martinique with an average of 25 to 000 tonnes of cane harvested directly each year, and between 30 and 000 tonnes of cane harvested by small growers, or around 5% of the island's total production.
In the past, the company has already produced rum, in particular the Grand Arôme, but the new brand Baie des Trésors is of a completely different nature: It is now a question of the Exploitation Agricole du Galion creating and developing a range of exceptional rums. This project is nourished by a long-term vision: to produce grands crus of rum based on lands of excellence, proven know-how and a constant search for innovation in ageing.

It is a small, somewhat secluded and well sheltered bay, at the end of the Caravelle peninsula, popular with hikers and lovers of the beautiful nature of Martinique. This perfectly preserved little corner of paradise is called Baie du Trésor. A legend says that a treasure from an old shipwreck would hide under its waters. But other treasures, very real, are on the peninsula and around. These are all these small plots, all different and all wonderful, where cane has been grown for more than 170 years. They are the ones who give birth to 

This fragmented agricultural white rum reveals wild and fresh tones. Baie des Trésors Plein Soleil opens with astonishing notes of rose, lychee and lemony citrus.

E n 2010, on the benches of the International Center for Eaux de Vie in Cognac, David Roussier , manager of the Warenghem Distillery, and Guillaume Ferroni , creator of the Carry Nation bars, meet during a training course on the aging of brown spirits.

Very quickly, their common passion for spirits led them to exchange and use… creation of cocktails, comparative tastings, prototypes of spirits. Until, naturally, the idea of ​​creating a range of high-end French spirits for the bar and cocktail world emerged.

The name they will give to this range “Bariana” is taken from the title of one of the first French works dealing with cocktails.

The range of Bariana products is essentially intended for the world of cocktail bars. It incorporates the century-old liqueurs of the Warenghem Distillery, but also incorporates new editions of great classic spirits as well as new products specially intended for integration into cocktails.

Saint-Etienne was built on the foundations of "La Maugée", a sugar refinery whose land extended at the beginning of the 400th century over more than XNUMX hectares, from Gros-Morne to Saint-Joseph. The architectural ensemble, made up of the mansion, dominating the distillery and the old workers' huts, testifies to the housing system specific to Martinique.

In 1882, Saint-Etienne was bought by Amédée Aubéry, a young captain of industry who would become one of the emblematic figures of the Martinican economy. He transformed the sugar refinery into an agricultural distillery and embarked on the modernization of infrastructure. He enlarged the factory and provided it with a magnificent façade punctuated by 28 windows with arched arches which provide optimal ventilation to the building. Railways are installed on the site of the distillery: draft animals pull wagons that transport the sugar cane. The hydraulic energy is supplied by the Lézarde river thanks to a stone canal which crosses the Creole garden.

In 1909, the property passed into the hands of the Simonnet family, who developed the activity of the distillery until its decline at the end of the 80s. The estate was bought in 1994 by Yves and José Hayot who relaunched the Saint- brand. Etienne and undertake the restoration and enhancement of the architectural heritage of the dwelling. Now listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments, the distillery is one of the last and most beautiful witnesses of the mastery and aesthetics of industrial architecture at the end of the XNUMXth century in Martinique. Its restoration is currently being completed.
