Enter the exotic world of Guadeloupe with Asta Morris' exclusive bottle of rum, distilled by the renowned Bielle distillery and belonging to the unique Rasta Morris series. Hailing from the lush region of Marie-Galante, this premium rum embodies craftsmanship and authentic Caribbean flavours, and is a must-have for connoisseurs of exceptional spirits.

This rare rum, with a powerful alcohol content of 56.2%, tells the story of 7 years of maturation, perfectly captured by Bielle's master distillers. Distilled in 2015 and carefully bottled in 2022 by Asta Morris, this bottle offers a remarkable journey through time and the rich flavour profiles of Guadeloupe.

The use of the Ex-Bourbon Cask cask type adds an extra dimension to the complexity of this rum, with the wood tones subtly merging with the intriguing aromas and flavours characteristic of the Caribbean region. With only 270 bottles available, this exclusive release is a unique opportunity for connoisseurs to add a valuable piece of Caribbean history to their collection.

Experience the warmth and authenticity of Guadeloupe in every sip of this beautiful rum from the Rasta Morris series. Enjoy the perfect harmony between craftsmanship, age and cask type, and be transported to the sun-drenched paradises of the Caribbean.

By Bert Bruyneel

Here we went looking again in Bielle's warehouses. For us, this small, family-run distillery remains the Rolls Royce of the Caribbean. We found a 2015 single cask this time, which was given a tropical maturation from 04/2015 to 03/2022. The cask was then transported to Belgium for immediate bottling. We may therefore speak of a full tropical maturation.
