The calendar is back for its fourth 100% agricultural rum edition. Exclusive rums created especially for the calendar by certain distilleries, vintage rums no longer on sale and previews that you can taste first!

A true blind tasting to take your taste buds on a journey to the heart of the West Indies distilleries. As every year, the references will be revealed on a daily basis on the internet using a QR code that will allow you to view an explanatory video about the products. A tasting notebook will give you the opportunity to record your impressions of each product.
Once again this year, the visuals are in the spotlight, with the calendar design by Robin Lepoutre – Titonoart, a Guadeloupe artist specialising in tattoos and barrel decoration.
