Spiribam adds Another Rum Distillery to Portfolio

The French spirits company Spiribam recently added the Saint-Maurice rum distillery and associated brands to a rapidly expanding portfolio. The Saint-Maurice distillery is in French Guiana and makes the La Belle Cabresse, La Cayennaise, and Cœur de Chauffe brands, all based on cane juice as their source material. Saint-Maurice is now a sister distillery to Fonds-Préville on Martinique (home of the Rhum J.M and Rhum Clément brands) and St. Lucia Distillers (home of the Chairman’s Reserve, Admiral Rodney, and Bounty brands.)

Per a French-language article, Spiribam has also committed to helping rebuild the sugarcane sector in French Guiana, as Saint-Maurice depends on fresh cane juice for its rum. The distillery’s annual output is stated at 800,000 liters. Assuming that value is at 55% ABV (as the French usually state it), this equals 440,000 LAA.

With the acquisition, Spiribam’s rum brand portfolio now consists of the following:

  • Rhum J.M (Martinique)

  • Rhum Clément (Martinique)

  • Chairman’s Reserve (St. Lucia)

  • Admiral Rodney (St. Lucia)

  • Bounty (St. Lucia)

  • Arcane (Mauritius)

  • Beach House (Mauritius)

  • La Belle Cabresse (French Guiana)

  • La Cayennaise (French Guiana)

  • Cœur de Chauffe (French Guiana)

In addition to its expanding rum portfolio, Spiribam recently acquired the Cartron brand of liqueurs.

Hmm, I was just enjoying a 'Ti Punch of La Belle Cabresse, wondered at its distinct and valuable flavor, then I read this great news. Congratulations to Ben/Spiribam and GBH. So I think I'll use Cœur de Chauffe tonight.
