Planteur's Punch 16°

Planteur's Punch 16° - 100cl

Distillerie Longueteau

In the hands of Longueteau, the classic planter's punch recipe is bound to be skillfully revisited. Everything is made from local ingredients: in the gardens of the Longueteau estate, not far from the blue and red sugarcane fields, a tropical fruit orchard provides the raw material for punches, liqueurs, and other recipes. Each fruit—guava, grenadine, orange, passion fruit, pineapple—is carefully picked and selected to macerate for several weeks, with cinnamon sticks, in Longueteau 50° agricultural rum. Longueteau puts its expertise of more than twenty years into the creation and production of this homemade punch. The profile of this punch is round, fruity, sunny and delicious.

The Longueteau distillery, located in Capesterre-Belle-Eau (Guadeloupe), is the oldest distillery on the island still in operation. It has the distinction of being entirely self-sufficient in sugar cane production, which it uses to obtain its magnificent terroir agricultural rums. Agricultural rum, we should point out, is made from pure sugar cane juice, unlike many other Caribbean rums, which are produced from cane molasses. It is a specialty of the French Antilles. The estate is currently in the hands of François Longueteau, a distiller since 1979. Production is, as it was originally, artisanal and traditional, but the sugarcane terroirs are developed using plot-by-plot methods—this is Longueteau's unique feature, the first distillery on the island to adopt this approach. Two varieties of sugarcane, blue cane and red cane, are cultivated, as well as fruits from the Guadeloupe region. Longueteau rums and the resulting preparations (punches, shrubberies, etc.) are fine, aromatic, deep, and fragrant.
