Story

Bonpland Rum is a premium spirits brand named after Aimé Bonpland, a celebrated French botanist and explorer known for his expeditions with Alexander von Humboldt. The brand embodies the spirit of adventure, blending the rich heritage of Caribbean rum-making with European refinement.

Bonpland sources its rums from some of the finest distilleries across the Caribbean, including Trinidad, Jamaica, and Guyana. These rums are carefully selected for their exceptional quality and distinct flavour profiles. After ageing in tropical climates, the rums are transported to Germany, where they undergo additional maturation in barrels previously used for high-quality wines and spirits. This unique finishing process imparts complex aromas and flavours, elevating Bonpland Rum to a class of its own.

Celebrated for its craftsmanship and innovative approach, Bonpland Rum bridges the worlds of Caribbean tradition and European sophistication, delivering a truly global spirit that honours its namesake’s legacy of discovery and excellence.

Aged in ex-Pinot Noir wine cask (hence the name 'Rouge'), this is a lean rum, classically Agricole in style and a blend of rums from across the Caribbean.

PAIRING GUIDE

Who could possibly resist this extremely characterful and moreish rum from Bonpland? It’s the kind of tropical treat that immediately transports you to sunnier climes, providing lasting warmth and acres of satisfying notes to savour. If you’re on the hunt for pitch-perfect food pairings, we’d recommend sticking with those Caribbean flavours - we’re talking jerk cod or chicken cooked over coals, roast pineapple with homemade ice cream, tropical fruits with savoury ingredients like brown rice, and dishes which make a star ingredient of chilli, ginger and lime. Strong cheeses, fruity desserts and classic sponge cakes are also never a bad idea with this one!
