Production notes

Our Emperor “Royal Spiced Rum” is a variant of the Emperor Heritage rum, enhanced with spices, with unique gentle flavours of carefully selected cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise. Carefully selected spices were macerated in both molasses and pure cane spirit, in our cellars based in St Michel de Fronsac in Bordeaux – France, before being blended to our “Emperor Heritage” rum edition. We have selected our Cardamom in the heart of the tropical forests of south-east India, from organic agricultures, being the best but also the most expensive cardamon which is available today on the World scene. Cinnamon comes directly from Sri Lanka from the “Ceylon” region. It is harvested manually in the spring on rainy days. Finally our selection of Star Anise, the fruit of the “badanier” tree, comes from the vicinity of Langson in northern Vietnam. This badian is by far the most famous in the world. It is harvested from November to December and also comes from organic farming.
