La Compagnie des Indes

Compagnie des Indes rums are made with care and elegance. The idea was born from the Portuguese, English, Dutch and French East India companies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which selected rare commodities from distant lands and imported them into their respective countries. Like the latter, we select the best qualities of rum and import them in France. Compagnie des Indes rums, whether bottled in Single Casks or assembled to bring out the typicality and qualities of each destination, are selected with great rigor.

Compagnie des Indes: Blend, single cask, cask strength and prestigious cuvées

Never too opulent, nor too sweet in the mouth, they know how to keep their authenticity. Their tasting is a journey through the Caribbean and Central/Latin America.
Compagnie des Indes rums do not contain overrated aromas. The idea is to refocus the consumer towards Rums that taste like RUM!
The Singles Casks are the result of casks carefully selected for their qualities. Sometimes bottled in cask strength, or reduced to reverse osmosis water (devoid of any taste or sediment), these rums, representative of their origins, are authentic and elegant.

A Culinary Journey Through the World's Best Rum Distilleries

Just as the Portuguese, French, English, or Dutch companies have traversed the seas in search of rare food products, the Compagnie des Indes selects the best rum distilleries to import them to European territory and produce exceptional bottlings that ExcellenceRhum offers on its website or in its Parisian store. The philosophy of the Compagnie des Indes is to add nothing to the product, offering for sale rums that are a true return to the original flavors.

  • Rigorous selection of partner distilleries
  • Highlighting the diversity of origins and terroirs
  • Variety of blends and finishes offered

Diversity of Origins

South America, the Caribbean, French Antilles, Indian Ocean - wherever sugar cane is produced worldwide, and where it is possible to find exceptions and quality distilleries, the Compagnie des Indes selects the casks to be included in its bottlings. This is how the Compagnie des Indes offers a richness in aroma and taste varying according to the production region, the type of operation or cask used, the climate unique to each destination, and everything that differentiates one rum from another.

Exceptional Aging

The rums offered by the Compagnie des Indes are characterized by limited interventions during their aging. The blends and finishes offered by the Compagnie des Indes provide charismatic versions, like the finishes in peated whisky casks, which give a unique character to the drink.

The Excellence of World Rums: A Varied Choice for All Palates

The Excellence Rhum catalog notably offers raw barrel rums from the Compagnie des Indes originating from Trinidad and Tobago with an alcohol content exceeding 63 degrees and presenting pronounced flavors. But also rum blends like the Caribbean 10 years Multi Distilleries which brings together sugar cane distillates from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago or a 5-year-old Jamaican rum.

  • Raw barrel rums with intense flavors
  • Multi-terroir blends for a unique taste richness
  • Tastings of rare products for demanding connoisseurs

Culinary Innovations Around Rum

However, some bartenders are competing in ingenuity, and their original compositions allow them to enhance these exceptional rums. The Compagnie des Indes mixes different types of rum, including both agricultural rum and molasses-based rum, as well as Batavia Arak, which is a molasses-based rum with rice added during fermentation.

Exclusive Creations for Enlightened Amateurs

The Compagnie des Indes also creates unique blends intended for connoisseurs experienced in tasting rare products, such as the Compagnie des Indes Kaiman resulting from the masterly proportioned union of two very old rums.

An Unprecedented Offer for an Extraordinary Taste Experience

The Compagnie des Indes revisits the world of rum by emphasizing the quality of raw materials and the respect for ancestral traditions. The most demanding tasters will appreciate this commitment to preserving authentic flavors and diverse terroirs. Excellence Rhum offers privileged access to this world of excellence and passion, offering an extensive range of exceptional rums selected by the Compagnie des Indes.
