The Exceptional History of Karukera Rum

Formerly bearing the name of the island before the arrival of Christopher Columbus, Karukera is now famous for being a delicious and unique rum brand. Founded in 1895 within the Marquisat estate in Sainte-Marie, Guadeloupe, this ambitious project aimed to create rum using locally grown sugarcane juice. This pledge of independence and self-sufficiency sets Karukera apart from other brands and gives it international acclaim.

Over the years, thanks to the integration of new production methods, the unwavering expertise of a daring master distiller, and the riches of an exceptional terroir, Karukera has become one of the references in rum production in Guadeloupe.

François Longueteau and Grégoire Hayot, the Visionaries Behind Karukera Rum

They began with promising experiments involving local agricultural rums and molasses distilled at Montebello, as well as aged agricultural rums imported from Martinique. These successes allowed them to pursue their primary goal: to promote local agricultural rum and create a rounded, complex, and balanced aged rum.
