For Valentine's Day, we love the cane!

With Valentine's Day approaching, you're thinking about giving your other half a spirit, and it's a great idea! The choice can be complicated, and to help you, we've already put together an article entitled " Which rum to give? "

But for this special occasion that is Valentine's Day, we wanted to offer you something original. Let's try, if you don't mind, to get away from the usual "brut de fût for Monsieur and rum arranged for Madame". These somewhat outdated clichés are seriously lacking in spice, and that's all we want to avoid on this special day.

Why not enjoy a one -on-one evening to share an experience and chat over a tasting? As you know, one of Rhum Attitude's specialties is to offer a huge selection of samples. For example, you can treat yourself to one of the latest Rhum Boxes " Le Maître de Chai " available, with a beautiful selection and a booklet made by us.

There is also a Premium “ Custom Box ” box , which you can fill with 5 vials of your choice. If you can’t decide (we understand why you don’t…), here are some ideas for discovery trails for your private tasting evening, special Valentine’s Day:

The Pure Cane Juice Course

For this first theme, we take you to the Overseas Departments , lands of agricultural rum , but also to other small distilleries which handle the still like no one else .
