Since 1887 the Bologne distillery has been installed on a three-century-old cane plantation that stretches from the slopes of the Soufrière volcano to the shores of the Caribbean Sea. Heir to this long tradition, the Sargenton-Callard family has remained faithful to the craftsmanship of Bologne and has always sought to sublimate the expression of the terroir and the cane, the only guarantees of very high quality.

Be Spirits – An invitation to taste

Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover Madeira rum and enjoy a traditional poncha tasting at the Spirits Selection by CMB stand during a convivial gathering on 9 February, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm (Hall 2.2 – Stand C047).

This informal event will offer professionals a genuine immersion into the island’s rum culture, in a setting conducive to exchange and discovery.
