Transcontinental Rum Line
The Transcontinental Rum Line brand, specialized in the selection and bottling of fine rums, is part of La Maison du Whisky, a French production company among the most important in the spirits sector. Founded in 1956 by Geroges Bénitah, this company has helped to spread the culture of quality spirits first in France and then around the world through a work of discovery, selection, and sale of whisky, rum, gin, vodka, and other products. The Transcontinental Rum Line brand, often abbreviated as TRL, was launched in 2016, inspired by the historic journeys of rum between the New and Old Worlds, continents divided but also connected through the rum trade route, from which the name Transcontinental Rum Line derives. The cultivation of sugar cane requires a tropical or subtropical climate like that of the Caribbean, but the best conditions for aging are found only in the continental climate of Europe, which determines a lower evaporation of the spirits and a better aromatic and taste evolution. Furthermore, in France and in other European countries, the art of distillation and aging is the most established and expert. For these factors and for greater transparency, each bottling under the TRL brand reports the percentage of aging in the continental climate. Furthermore, the vintage indicated on each label refers to the year of distillation.
Transcontinental Rum Line selects the best rums from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Panama, and French Antilles, but also from other places like Australia and the Fiji Islands. These spirits are mostly produced from sugar cane molasses, which is first fermented and then distilled in Pot Still stills. Long aging, which can exceed 10 years, takes place in oak barrels, and the rums are finally bottled without the addition of sugars, colorants, or other additives.
The carefully selected spirits from Transcontinental Rum Line reflect the wide variety and highest quality that rum can show in different parts of the world, values communicated with transparency and precision from the brand through detailed information provided on the label.
