Rinsed, crushed, and gently extracted, every step is done with care — because we’re not just making rum, we`re honouring a legacy. ✨
This is where tradition meets technique and where every drop starts with a single stalk, cultivated with purpose.

Autrefois, la récolte de la canne à sucre se faisait à la main, sous un soleil de plomb, à la force de la lame et du courage. Les coupeurs de cannes, au lever du jour, incarnaient le cœur battant d’un pays en construction.
Aujourd’hui, les machines ont, pour la majeure partie, remplacé la faucille, mais le respect du geste reste intact.
Au Domaine de Saint Aubin, cette transition s’est faite avec soin : modernité et mémoire cohabitent, pour préserver l’âme d’une culture tout en avançant avec son temps. ⌛
📍 De la terre au verre, la canne à sucre demeure notre fil conducteur, notre fierté, notre héritage.

At the heart of Domaine de Saint Aubin, the distillery is more than a place — it’s a living story of Mauritian rum, told in every flame, every drop, every barrel.
Here, centuries of tradition and craftsmanship come to life. The scent of sugarcane. The silence before the first pour. The heat rising from the stills. It’s not just rum we create… it’s memory, identity, and passion, distilled. ✨
